UPDATE: Valentine has been Adopted!

There are moments in life when everything just feels right. A calm settles in, smiles get bigger, and love shows up in the most unexpected way—like a wagging tail and spotted eyes. That’s exactly what happened the day Valentine came into our lives.

I’m his foster mom, and from the second he stepped through our door, we knew he was something special. Valentine is a 7-month-old Dalmatian puppy, and in no time, he’s brought warmth, joy, and harmony into our home like he's always belonged here.

He fits in effortlessly.

Valentine is what we call a true “Velcro dog”—he's always close by, tail wagging, gently nudging for attention, and happiest when he’s next to his humans. Whether we're making dinner, relaxing on the couch, or just walking from room to room, he's never far behind. His presence is comforting and full of love.

He’s also a fantastic little guard dog—alert, smart, and always watching out for his people. He gives a sense of security just by being nearby.

Valentine is a total puppy in all the best ways—playful, curious, and yes, still working through his love for chewing. He walks beautifully on a leash, loves all humans, and is fully an indoor companion. At 38 lbs, he’s the perfect size for snuggles and strolls.

We absolutely love him—and now he’s ready to find his forever family.

If you're looking for a loyal, loving, playful best friend with a heart of gold, Valentine might be the perfect match.

He’s not just a dog. He’s family.

Now he just needs a family to call his own.

He loves balls and toys, and to play tug of war.
