🌟 Meet Valentino, the incredible pup whose heart is as vast as the universe itself! After a harrowing tale of being tied to a tree without food or shelter, Valentino is on a journey of love and healing. This charming soul is a true ‘Diamond Dog', meaning he comes with extra support to ensure he and his forever home blossom together. 💖 At first, Valentino may appear a bit shy around new faces—but don’t be fooled! Once this lovable hound warms up, he transforms into a playful, affectionate, and utterly loyal companion. 🎉 He’s looking for a patient, experienced adopter who understands the beauty of trust-building, as this sweet boy will need a few meet-and-greets to feel secure. When Valentino knows he’s safe, he really comes alive! 🤝 He excels in being selective with his dog friends, particularly bonding with calm and submissive pups. He needs introductions to be one-on-one, preferably as the only dog in the home. And while Valentino borrows a few doggy quirks, he definitely requests a cat-free space; previous feline encounters weren’t his cup of tea! For those little ones out there, Valentino is looking for a quiet, adult-only home since he’s a bit unsure around fast movements and unfamiliar faces. 🚼 No kiddos, please! Valentino is on his way to mastering commands like "sit" (especially when treats are around - yesss!). With the right structure and positivity, he’s demonstrated wonderful house manners in his foster home, making him an exciting companion to guide around new adventures with encouragement. ✨ 🌍 What does Valentino love? Oh, let him count the ways! He adores playing fetch (just watch out when he gets excited and zooms by!), enjoys tossing balls, delights in cuddles from trusted humans, and LOVES quiet walks where he can explore at his own pace. 🚶‍♂️ Just one request: please take it slow with introductions to new friends, as Valentino thrives in calm environments away from chaos. If you’re ready to show love to this resilient soul, apply through the Buddy App and help Valentino find the forever home he so richly deserves! 🐾🏠
