Valentino is a sweet, big boy. He's got a gorgeous scruffy, brindle coat and large endearing eyes that gaze at you through the longest eye lashes ever at about 1" long. We are not sure what breeds he's got in him but he's got the look of an Irish Wolfhound x Wire Haired Pointing Griffon x Italian Spinone in a large but not huge dog size.
He's just at or just over 1 year now and weighs about 55 pounds. He sometimes barks at new people but will go to them and get some loving anyway. He has lived his life fending for himself on the streets but we told him when he arrived that his life just started over, for the better. He is still getting used to the happenings in a household so you'll need to continue that while he's learning it. He's worth it!
We do not know how he is with cats. He does well with other dogs but doesn't play with them, just hangs out with them.
If you think he's the dog for your family, please submit our adoption application to get the process started.
