Valentina was surrendered to PuppyPromise Rescue July 2024 after her owner went through major life changes. Following a divorce and a diagnosis of liver failure, her owner lost her job and could no longer care for her four dogs.

Valentina is playful and fun, she loves water, squeaky toys, and going for long walks. She knows basic commands and does great with smaller dogs. We’re not sure how she does with cats yet.As a power breed, Valentina needs a home with a family who understands her breed and is ready to give her the love and commitment she deserves.

Meet Molly – Waiting Since November 2022. After years in the shelter, Molly has been patiently waiting for her forever home since Nov 2022. This sweet, middle-aged girl is ready to finally find her person. Once she warms up, Molly becomes your little shadow—loyal, loving, and always nearby. She thrives in a structured home where she knows what to expect. Confident and strong-willed, Molly needs to be the only dog in the home, but in return, she’ll give you all of her love. She’s potty trained, kennel trained, and sleeps soundly at night. She enjoys toys, treats, and her daily walks—which are the highlight of her day. Despite being mellow and independent, she’s also playful and cuddly when invited onto the couch.Molly did have a suspicious growth diagnosed as malignant skin cancer, likely caused by sun exposure. She’ll need to wear a sun shirt when outside, but the good news is her recent X-rays show it hasn’t spread. If you’re an experienced dog person looking for a loyal companion—full of love, ready for adventures, and happiest curled up beside you—Molly might just be your girl.She is located in Southern CaliforniaInterested in fostering or adopting Molly?
