Please welcome Vali to FBRN! At ten-months-old, Vali is compact, adorable, and apparently what they call “a lot of personality in a small package.”

He’s been through quite a bit for a young guy, and he’s currently working through some health issues. He’s handling it like a champ, though and extra snuggles seem to help with recovery. Speaking of snuggles, that’s his love language. If you sit down, Vali will assume it’s an invitation to become your weighted blanket.

Vali does get a little nervous when he can’t see his people and may sing you the song of his feelings (some call it barking). He just really, really likes being close to his humans. The good news? He’s safe now, and he’s learning that his foster family always comes back.

He’s still in quarantine in Ohio, counting down the days until he can meet his foster siblings and show them his best moves.

This is just the beginning of Vali’s glow-up story. If you would like to sponsor Vali while he is in foster care, please click the ‘Donate’ link above.
