Hi there! You might not know who I am because most people go quick away from my kennel. I can be a bit loud behind my gate but once you get to know me, I promise I'm a big old softie who loves nothing more than snuggling up to my favorite humans. I'm not one for the limelight, so I prefer a quiet home where I can relax and feel safe.
I'm a bit of a romantic, which is why they named me Valentino. I dream of finding a forever home with someone who will love and cherish me for who I am, quirks and all. And once I feel comfortable, I'll show you my playful side! I love a good game of tug-of-war or chasing a ball, and I'm always up for a walk around the neighborhood.
I might be a little shy at first, but please don't give up on me. With a patient and understanding family who can help me build my confidence, I know I can blossom into the best companion you've ever had. So if you're looking for a loyal and loving pup who just needs a little extra TLC, I'm your man. Let's make some memories together!

More about this shelter
The Animal Defense League was established in 1934 by a group of individuals, “for the prevention of cruelty to animals; to promote kind and humane treatment of animals; and to aid and assist the enforcement of laws enacted for the prevention of animal cruelty.”
In 1961, ADL moved to its present location in the easily accessible northeast part of San Antonio. Its campus encompasses more than 12 acres and includes a two-acre pet park. On the property is an Adoption Center with a small retail store, and a separate 5,000 square-foot Clinic which houses our veterinary hospital that provides onsite spay/neuter surgery, surgery for injured and ill animals, and ongoing medical care for all ADL resident animals.
