Though easily startled and always "on high alert." Valen is proving to be a gentle soul with the adults and dogs he's met.
He's been correcting well with housebreaking/marking accidents and enjoying the many trips to the yard where foster poodle-brother can be talked into playing. Valen is definitely more comfortable and trusting of other dogs than people!
Valen tolerated his goopy eyes being cleaned and the swelling around his surgery incisions is making small improvement. His badly infected ears will continue to be a major project....poor guy.
MOST excitingly, Valen finally was talked into his first meal; though not underweight, he's not been eating well at the shelter or his foster home...until today :) Good boy, Valentino!
