He loves to snuggle and would be happy sitting on his mom or dad's lap all day. He is crate trained and will sit on command, especially if you have a treat for him.

Story
Meet Valentine. If you are looking to adopt a rescued dog that has not had the best first couple of years in this life, but has blossomed into an amazing girl!....meet this sweetie! Valentine is in foster care, she has been in foster care with my family for the past year. She came from El Paso Texas to Santa Barbara California, in June. She has continued “growing and getting comfortable with life” during this time. She is sweet but sometimes shy. Great around her three foster kids and other two dogs and cat and guinea pigs. Valentine was living in a canal around a pecan field back in El Paso , Volunteering at our local shelter I could not bare to leave her to keep fending for herself and close to starvation. Reluctantly she came to me one day out in the field and once she was leashed, she never looked back. Looking for a wonderful family to love her and make her part of their family. She has a FB page to give more photos and videos under Valentine Valentine in Santa Barbara.
