My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Valentino is a distinguished senior who was rescued from animal services on February 9, 2008 after being there in protective custody since September 25, 2007. He was there through no fault of his own; his people did something wrong and he and several other dogs were confiscated. He is very sweet. He is good with other animals, is great with the cat he lives with (see photo) and birds. He sleeps with the cat and the little dog. He is good with female dogs and calm male dogs. He just wants to sleep on his bed most of the day, but enjoys short walks. He loves kids and loves cuddling. The vet said it appears he was used to fight and has suffered a spine injury caused by "blunt force". He is doing much better now that he is on pain medication and his legs are growing stronger (and he's dropped a couple of pounds). In spite of all he's been through, he's so very Sweet. If you would like to meet Valentino or contribute to Valentino's medical expenses (pain meds and acupuncture), please contact Susan at 306-7347 or email secondchancenm@yahoo.com.
