A bit about me:
- unknown history with children; supervised interactions recommended; older children recommended
- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised intros recommended
- limited history with dogs; okay pending successful introduction

Valerius means strength, a fitting name for this nervous boy found as a stray in a ditch along the highway. Although Valerius's history is unknown, he is likely under socialized as meeting new people can be scary for him. With patience and treats, Valerius has made friends with several staff and he continues to work on gaining confidence. Valerius is a puppy at heart and loves to play! He'd do well in a home with dog-savvy humans who can respect body language meet him with patience and understanding, and are familiar with the game of fetch! Valerius has lived with dogs before and pending a successful introduction, may do well with the companionship of a polite and confident older dog.

Note that many dogs do not reach full size until they are about a year and a half old. The weight listed here is the dog's current weight.
