If your life’s been missing a little joy, a lot of laughter and maybe a 63-pound dog with a permanent tongue-out grin, let us introduce you to Valentino. This one-year-old Terrier mix is equal parts heartthrob and class clown, and yes, he absolutely knows he’s the main character.
Valentino rocks a sleek white coat, dramatic black markings that look like a superhero mask, and a perfect little pink nose that’s always sniffing out his next big adventure. Add in floppy ears and an energy that screams “live, laugh, lick,” and you’ve got a real-life cartoon pup with big personality and even bigger snuggles.
He’s smart, silly and surprisingly chill when he’s not busy trying to get you to toss his favorite toy (again). Valentino is the kind of dog who’s up for anything, from puzzle toys and playtime in the yard to flopping down next to you like a weighted blanket with fur.
Valentino will follow you from room to room like your slightly clumsy but incredibly handsome shadow. Whether you’re having a high-energy day or need to curl up and decompress, he’ll match your vibe perfectly.
Come meet Valentino at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Drive, 75212), open daily from noon to 6 p.m. He’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and fully prepped to move in and take over your heart.
Bonus: Now through August 31, adult pet adoption fees are just $50 as part of the Clear the Shelters campaign. So this love story could start for less than your last dinner date.
