Pet-Peeves:
Hates the sound of Motorcyles, Listening to the trumpet, Birds, Someone keeping her "baby" (her toys) away from her

Favorite Toy:
She likes "babies" (her toys) that usually have something swingin' from it like a rope or long legs. She loves to put them in her mouth and swing them or throw them up in the air and catch em'. But really, all her "babies" are her favorite toys.

Favorite Food:
Valencia is a Junk-Food-Junkie!!! chips, sunflower seeds, flammin' hot cheetos (she only gets about six of em'!) ice cream, beef jerky, and pizza crust.

Favorite Walk:
She loves to play on the beach. But she'll still settle for the field outside!

Best Tricks:
She sits on the ottoman/couch with just her butt with only 3 paws on the ground. She can sit, shake and jump ("up") on command. And she does the "Harlem Shake" when you scratch the middle of her back!

Arrival Story:
I was eating dinner with my parents one day. As we approached the front of the restuarant to pay for our meal we made small talk with the cashier. He told us about his new dog (a dalmatian) that he got across the street from Petco. He told us that every so often the Humane Society sets up shop in front of Petco with puppies and kittens hoping to get adopted. So me and my parents decided to take a look. We got there and I set my eyes on Valencia (Ms. No- Name at the time!) She was so quiet and just rolling around her little toy in her little fence pen. As where the other dog that was there was climbing his fence pen and I said to myself "Oh no! That dog is too hyper!" I said to the guy from the Humane Society "I want her." So I had to answer like 100 questions about myself and my living situation. The whole time I was doing that, a mother and her little boy wanted her, and then some guy on the phone called about her too!! So I was determined to get her! I knew she would be safe with me and have a wonderful and spoiled life! So I am very grateful that I have Valencia with me today because I almost didn't get that chance to raise her!! So after we shopped around at Petco and bought everything in sight for a 9 week old puppy, I came up with her name on the 10 minute drive home. I was holding her and she was sleeping and I said "Her name is going to be Valencia. That means 'Strong Woman'. She's a Valencia!" And that's that!!

Bio:
Does not like to be ignored or else she will make her presence known! Knows where her treats are and will tell you when she wants one! Sometimes messes up beds when no one is home or upstairs with her. Barks at motorcycles and even people riding their bicycles! Very social with other dogs and with people! Loves getting her back scratched!
