Valentina Wants Nothing More Than a Family to Love

          If you’ve ever wished for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, meet Valentina. This beautiful 4-year-old spayed Bullmastiff weighs about 107 pounds, but her greatest feature isn’t her size—it’s her enormous capacity for love.

          Valentina wants to be an indoor member of the family, not a dog left alone in the backyard. She thrives on human companionship and simply wants to be wherever her people are. She’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest soaking up attention. Stop petting her, and she’ll gently let you know she’s ready for more! She’s very chill but likes to walk on leash as well. 

          During a foster stay, Valentina did well with medium-sized dogs and kids. She may also do well with some larger dogs with proper introductions, but a home without small dogs is recommended. She’s looking for someone who appreciates giant breeds and understands that her size comes with a gentle, loving heart.

Valentina has been waiting at Santa Barbara County Animal Services in Santa Maria since June 17. If you’re ready to welcome a devoted companion into your life, she just may be the perfect match.
