Meet Valen

✂️ MEET VALEN — A FLUFFY BOY WITH A FRESH START! ❤️ From painfully matted fur to a fresh start, Valen is ready to find the family he's been waiting for! At just 7 months old, Valen is a Bernedoodle/Mini Poodle mix whose mom is a Bernedoodle and dad is a Mini Poodle. He was surrendered to rescue and arrived with severely overgrown, matted fur that required an emergency groom. It took a lot of work to get him comfortable again, but underneath all that fur was a handsome boy ready for a new beginning! ❤️ Now that he's feeling fresh and looking more like himself, it's time to find his forever family — one that will give him the care, attention, and exercise he needs to thrive. A LITTLE ABOUT VALEN: 7-month-old Bernedoodle/Mini Poodle mix ⚡ VERY energetic and hyper — this boy has puppy energy to spare! Good with kids Good with other dogs Good with cats Valen is still a puppy, which means he's going to need consistent training, plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a family ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he can be. An active household that enjoys walks, playtime, adventures, and keeping a clever pup busy would be ideal! ✂️ LET'S TALK GROOMING — THIS IS A BIG COMMITMENT! Valen's beautiful coat comes with serious maintenance requirements. His previous matting is a reminder of how uncomfortable and painful neglected grooming can become. His future family MUST be prepared for: ✅ Professional grooming every 4–8 weeks ✅ Thorough at-home brushing several times a week ✅ Regular coat checks to catch tangles before they become painful mats ✅ Budgeting both the time and money needed to maintain his coat properly This isn't optional maintenance. It's an essential part of keeping Valen healthy, comfortable, and happy! ❤️ Valen deserves a family that will keep him active, continue teaching him good manners, and make sure he never has to experience the discomfort of severe matting again. He's a young, energetic, fluffy work in progress — and with the right family, he's going to make an incredible companion! Ready to meet Valen?
