My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Valentino is the kind of dog that wants to be best friends with every person that he meets. He's been at CARE since May and while being in a noisy shelter for so long has been very stressful for him, he's also become a huge favorite of so many staff members and volunteers over that time, who love him for his winning personality and his big heart.

He's been doing great in his foster home. This young lovable boy is learning so many things. He is potty trained and crate trained, and knows basic commands.

Valentino is playful and fun! He loves his walks and is a big sniffer. He really loves it when you scatter treats on the ground for him to sniff around and find, which he always does because he is also so, so smart.

He also loves to play with his stuffies, run around and is very good at all kinds of puzzles and training games.

But Valentino's most favorite thing to do is to cuddle. He's a total lap dog, and you won't meet a dog that will appreciate your scratches and affection more.

Valentino is starting training for dog reactivity, which he's unfortunately developed as a result of being in the stressful shelter environment for so long. Tasty treats and good things to sniff are key for this boy.

Valentino will truly make the perfect best bud. He's so deserving, and he has so much love to give! Please consider giving Valentino his forever home!
