Valentine is an adorable, floppy-eared yellow lab with a small white heart shape on the top of her head. Her nails look like she was given a fancy French manicure.

Valentine is somewhat reserved until she gets to know you and that you're safe. Once she's sure, she wants to be in charge! She loves to play with soft toys and to try to catch her own tail.

Cuddling on a soft blanket is her favorite past-time after playing with another dog and trying to lick his face. She also enjoys chewing on a beef-flavored chew toy while observing what's going on around her. She also has learned to play tug and wins most times.:)

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
