Valentino - Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Dog for Adoption in Providence, Rhode Island

Meet Valentino!
This little man is playful, affectionate, and absolutely adorable. He's a total lap dog and often wants nothing more than a good cuddle session. When cuddles aren't available? Give him a stuffy and he'll prance around the yard showing off his prize and nibbling it until he finds the squeaker. Valentino is still young and he hasn't outgrown his puppy energy - he'd love a family where he can keep happy with walks and play as well as suppling all the love and affection he can handle. Valentino has previously done well with dogs but has no experience with cats. We would recommend a slow introduction to any resident cats to ensure that all animals are safe and comfortable. Valentino can be somewhat high-strung at times and is reactive to new people when in busy environments. Due to this, he would likely do best in a teens+ or adult only home.
