Meet Valen! He is a 2 yr old male Catahoula Leopard Dog that weighs 51 lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/29 as astray. He is a very handsome boy! He is not sure why he is at the shelter, but the more time we spend together, he comes out of his shell nicely! He enjoys being petted and loved on. He has some scars and scratches around his legs but they are healing and do not seem to bother him. As we walked about and through the shelter he stayed close and wasn't bothered by the other dogs barking at him. If you do have another dog in the home please ask the shelter for a dog test. He walks well on leash, takes treats gently and may be house trained. He has a gentle and loving soul as it's clear to see, and would make a great family companion. Having a secured backyard to investigate, then live indoors to cuddle close, watching tv with his loved one is what this boy deserves. Come meet Valen!
