My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

In the charming town of Gilbert, there lives a spirited dog named Jack. At 1 1/2 years old and weighing in at 94 pounds, Jack is a bundle of energy and affection. He's always up for an adventure and loves car rides. Despite his size, he believes he's a lap dog and relishes cuddles.

Jack has a mixed social resume. He's great with kids once they get to know each other, and he can befriend dogs his size on neutral ground. However, he takes his role as a protector seriously when it comes to his home. Cats and small animals are not his cup of tea, so he's best suited for a cat-free environment.

On the training front, Jack is top-notch. He's current on vaccinations, neutered, and fully housetrained. Walks with him are a breeze, thanks to his excellent leash manners. He also knows basic commands, making him an obedient companion.

Jack's intelligence and enthusiasm make him a promising candidate for agility training. He loves learning new tricks and enjoys swimming.

Currently living with four other furry pals, including his littermate, Jack faces a challenge known as Littermate Syndrome. This has led to some bullying behaviors with his brother and the other dogs. The only solution is to separate them.

Jack longs for a loving home where he can be a cherished human companion or coexist with another large but submissive dog. If you feel a connection with this lively pup, or if you'd like to meet him, please contact Shelby at shelbyscalise@gmail.com. Jack is ready to embark on new adventures and create lasting memories with his forever family.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

At Valley Dogs we make every effort to place the right animal in the right home. To aid in this goal, we use trained Adoption Consultants to help you select the best match for your lifestyle. You will meet with an Adoption Consultant and discuss your lifestyle, activity level, expectations, likes/dislikes, and past experiences with animals. Your consultant will then recommend the best match for your family and your lifestyle.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We do not own a kennel / shelter type facility. In most cases, we believe one of the effective and successful ways to match families and pets is to foster them in our own homes. Fostering dogs allows us to help train the dogs to have good doggie manners and allows us to learn about the dog's personality and character. Ultimately allowing us to give potential adopters complete information on the pet's behavior and how well he / she will fit with a family and lifestyle. Unfortunately, when we are not able to find the most appropriate foster home, we will on occasion utilize a private kennel on a case by case basis.
