About Valentino

Meet Valentino! This spirited little guy is playful, affectionate, and simply adorable. He loves being a lap dog and will seek out cuddle sessions whenever he can. If cuddles aren’t an option, toss him a stuffy, and watch him prance around the yard, proudly showing off his treasure while nibbling until he finds the squeaker. At just over a year old, Valentino has plenty of puppy energy to share. He’s looking for a family where he can enjoy regular walks, playtime, and all the love he craves. Valentino has done well with other dogs but lacks experience with cats; a slow introduction is advisable for any resident feline friends. Sometimes a bit high-strung, he can be reactive to new people in busy settings, so a home with teens or adults is ideal for him. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
