Adopted: Barefoot Contessa

Feb 26, 2026

Here’s our recipe for the Perfect Companion, Barefoot Contessa. Start with 18 pounds of outgoing, exuberant joy in one young adult pup who loves people and other dogs. Fold in a generous helping of high energy, a passion for making new friends, and a love of scenic hikes. Season with Ina Garten–level warmth and the firm belief that life is better when everything is done with heart. Sound like a winning recipe? Adopt Barefoot Contessa at Valley Humane Society and bring her home today! 

Barefoot Contessa is an outgoing, exuberant girl! She has a lot of energy and loves making new human friends. She warms up to people nicely and loves other dogs. She is a fun dog to take on a hike. She is house trained and crate trained. Barefoot Contessa, nicknamed Tessa, has thrived in foster care; she likes spending time in the yard with her caregivers of all ages and while she loves a good walk and playtime with the resident canine, she settles down nicely when she wants some downtime, either in her crate or on a blanket. Tessa is not a pushy girl and doesn’t need to be the center of attention.
