Meet Valentino
Valentino is the kind of dog that wants to be best friends with every person that he meets. He's been in a foster home since January 2024, but before that was very stressed at the shelter for many months. He became a favorite of many staff members and volunteers over that time, who love him for his winning personality and his big heart.
He's really grown so much during his time in foster and now it's hard to believe he's been looking for his forever home for over a year now.
Valentino is sweet, smart, funny and loving. His foster mom says they love him so much, but he's truly ready for and so deserving of a forever family!
He is crate-trained, potty-trained and knows many commands (sit, down, place, touch, paw/shake, off) and loves to play confidence building training games. His foster mom is convinced he can learn anything because he's so smart, and says he also has a lot of potential to be an agility dog.
Valentino's favorite things are walks, sniffing, snuggling, stuffy toys, snacks (cheese!) and car rides. He also loves going to training once a week, where he is working on having neutral behaviors around other dogs. Unfortunately he developed some reactivity as a result of being in the stressful shelter environment for so long, but has made so much progress towards potentially having doggy friends. Tasty treats and good things to sniff are key for this boy.
He's the very best snuggler and will let you know when he needs pets, which is all the time! You won't meet a dog that will appreciate your affection more. He just wants to be near you.
Valentino is still young so he is active, playful, fun and so silly! And he walks well on leash once he gets the initial excitement out.
He is 100% good boy, his Wisdom DNA test said he is also 33% Staffordshire Terrier, 27% American Pit Bull Terrier and 24% Golden Retriever with some Border Collie and Australian Shepherd sprinkled in there.
Valentino will truly make the perfect best bud. He's so deserving, and he has so much love to give! Please consider giving this special boy his forever home!
