Valiant was found roaming near Lake Berryessa for several weeks after being dumped with his siblings. He is a very sweet, docile boy who is still scared of the world and needs a patient, loving home that can offer him safety and reassurance as he builds confidence. Valiant truly thrives around other dogs, and his personality comes alive during playtime. He would likely do best in a home with another dog to help guide him and show him that people and the world can be safe. With time, patience, and a calm environment, Valiant has so much potential to blossom into a loving companion.
