Valentino
Valentino is nothing short of a miracle, and full of so much potential. Without the help from his rescuers, caretakers at Crown Valley Animal Care Center, and sponsors; he wouldn't have made it this far.
He still has a lengthy road ahead of him, as he's made a lot of progress physically, he needs a lot of work with training. Valentino has been showing various signs of aggression and possessive (food/toy) behavior. We need help to get him into training so we can stop it before it gets any worse. We know he can correct this behavior, these are things he's simply never been taught and it's not his fault at all.
He loves people so much, however, his temperament changes when food and toys are involved. In addition to that, he has extremely unpredictable dog aggression. He likes many dogs, but oddly enough, will try to kill a dog who is hyper as he is.
Valentino has shown behavior improvement with the food aggression and possessiveness, so we know that this can and will be corrected. Please help by sharing his story so we can raise funds for his training.
Below I've added pictures to show his progress. I hope you enjoy seeing how far he's come.
Please note that if anyone would like to meet Valentino, he absolutely LOVES visitors! Contact Lori to set up a meeting!
