Meet Valentino! He is a friendly boy who enjoys being around people and likes company, but he’s also quite independent and isn’t the type of dog who demands constant fuss or attention.  He walks nicely on the lead and is a pleasure to take out and about.  As he settles and gains confidence he is becoming increasingly playful and is starting to show his fun-loving personality.  He does know his basic commands, but would benefit from further training and socialisation.  Like many dogs, he can become vocal in the kennels, and does bark and howl, but once he is out he does settle down.  He has socialised with other dogs and behaves appropriately, but he isn’t particularly interested in them.  For this reason, we feel he would be happiest as the only dog in the home.  Potential adopters should be aware that he does jump up quite a lot when excited so ongoing training and consistency will be beneficial.  If you are looking for a loyal companion who enjoys your company without being overly demanding, this handsome boy could be the one for you.  He would benefit from a private secure garden.

As he came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 16+ years.

We are unsure how he would react around cats.
