About Valentino - Val

Meet Valentino, lovingly known as Val! This happy-go-lucky pup is full of love, puppy kisses, and playful energy. He enjoys exploring, playing with toys, and soaking up attention from everyone he meets. Val and his two siblings, Saint and Coco Chanel, were found abandoned and are now safe and thriving while they eagerly await their forever families. Their sweet personalities make them wonderful companions for families, couples, or individuals looking to add a furry friend to their lives.

Ideal Home

Val would thrive in a home that can provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime. He is a young puppy who will need a family committed to his ongoing training and socialization.

Ongoing Health

All three puppies, including Val, are healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Their sister, Coco Chanel, is blind in one eye, but it doesn't slow her down at all.

Training & Support

Val is a puppy and will need continued training and socialization to help him grow into a well-behaved adult dog. Consistency and positive reinforcement will be key to his success. All decision-makers in the home should be in agreement about adopting.
