Valentino is a 2-year-old, 61 lb American Staffy/Boxer mix who brings an abundance of joy and sunshine into any home. He approaches life with a "good vibes only" attitude, sporting a constant happy grin and a goofy, enthusiastic spirit. Valentino loves to play, is affectionate, silly, and full of personality without being overwhelming. He has a warm, happy demeanor that makes him incredibly fun to be around, and he forms sweet bonds once he feels comfortable. He's a smart, eager-to-please boy who loves toys and learning new things. Valentino is crate and potty trained and walks well on a leash, though he can pull out of excitement. He is semi-active and would enjoy hikes, adventures, and backyard playtime, but is also happy to cuddle on the couch after exercise.
Ideal Home
Valentino would thrive in a home with a backyard where he can zoom around and play. He also seemed very interested in puddles and standing water, so a yard with opportunities for water play would be a bonus! He would be happy as your one-and-only spoiled boy or could potentially do well with a confident, playful female dog who enjoys roughhousing and can help keep play balanced.
