My story

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

* Location: Near Cleveland, OH



Hello! My name is Valentino. They say I’m named that because I was born on Valentine's Day. Pretty cool, huh? 



I'm 4 years old and originally came from a home where I was not treated very well. Since I came into the rescue, I’ve been pretty spoiled, and I won't lie, I like it... a lot!



I am neutered and current on all my vaccines.  



Now to tell you a little bit about me. I'll start with the good stuff first 



I'm super loving and affectionate. I like to cuddle, but I will also go off and lay on my bed. I love my toys and enjoy playing fetch, but I also enjoy playing with my toys by myself. I toss them in the air or roll around on the ground squeaking them. My foster mom says I act more like a puppy than a 4-year-old and that I'm pretty darn adorable! 



I've never had an accident in the house and can be left alone loose and not be crated. I've never gotten into anything, I'm a good boy. But, I will admit when my foster mom leaves, I prefer to be able to look out the window to watch and wait for my her to come home. I do prefer to be with someone who's home more than gone. If you work from home, I would love to share your office with you,that's what I do with my foster mom now. I enjoy sharing your space.



I know how to sit, stay, come, lay down, and wait. What I’m not so good at yet is not getting excited and overstimulated. When people come in the house, they say I still need to work at not being so enthusiastic.  Once you get settled in and pay attention to me, I will calm down.  I won't lie, I just love lots of attention.



I'm best in a home without other dogs. They say I'm reactive when on walks and I need some training with this. We're working on it, and I’m hoping to improve. I'm really trying, but I never had any kind of training before so it's not always easy for me. Walking on a leash is totally new to me, so that is a work in progress still. 



I will need a fence to keep me safe. I could probably jump over a 5 ft fence if I wanted to, so I guess I might need a 6 ft fence. I just can't help myself. I get really excited sometimes when I see people and dogs. 



Do you think you would have the patience to work with meand help me be my best self? Please complete one of those application things if you do because, after all, I am pretty cute and you will fall in love with me immediately. I’m not bragging or anything, but that's what my foster mom tells me all the time. 



I can't wait to find my forever home!!!
