DOB: 10/16/2022 Breed: Terrier mix -Neutered male 11lbs -Microchipped & fully vaccinated -Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative *Adoption Fee $400*
A little bit about me… Hey there, I’m Grits! I got my name from my days hanging around a breakfast spot, cruising the streets like a local celebrity. Life looks a lot different now, and I’m ready for my next big adventure..a forever home! I’ve gotten a glow up since arriving at the shelter and even learned how to walk on the leash. I enjoy playing with other small dogs and always bring positive vibes wherever I go. I’m still learning the ropes though and will need help with basic training and potty training. I’d be a great walking partner and would love to be your little travel buddy, whether that’s road trips or neighborhood strolls. If you’re looking for a cheerful, fun-loving pup who’s ready to start fresh, I’d love to meet you!
The highlights… -Minimal shedding -I need all basic training -Happy to make new friends -Secure fence required
Key points to know… -Training is a must: As a former stray, I’m still learning all the basics like potty training, house manners, and routines. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement will be key. -Potty training: I’m sweet and lovable, but I currently mark/pee on all areas of my kennel. A committed adopter should be prepared for frequent potty breaks, supervision, and continued training to help me succeed. -Adjustment time is normal: New environments can be exciting and overwhelming for little terrier mixes like me. With structure, boundaries, and time, I’ll settle in and show just how great of a companion I can be.

Please be advised we only adopt to AZ residents. We make a commitment to all of our animals. So while we appreciate your interest, we ask that you be a local resident to adopt. We do not always know the full background of each animal and sometimes personalities are not fully shown until a few days in the home. If for whatever reason you cannot keep the animal, we appreciate the animal being returned to our facility. It is costly and time consuming to return an animal from out of state. Please check your local animal shelter to find a forever friend near your area.
We do have adoption fees that are reflective to our adoptable cats and dogs. They will slightly vary depending on the cat or dog. However most of the adoptable pets have the same adoptable fee. We ask that any prospective adopter to come to our location and complete an adoption application. This will be reviewed by a qualified adoption counselor who will sit and visit to interview the adopter on what they are looking for to place the adoptable pet in a forever home. Once approved for adoption, there is paperwork to complete and the adoptable cat or dog will be able to go home that day

More about this shelter
Sun Valley Animal Shelter, Inc., is an Arizona nonprofit corporation with 501(c)3 status which operates a No-Kill shelter in Glendale, Arizona, generally serving the western portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The organization was founded in 1991 by a group of Sun City area residents as a foster-based program to provide adoption opportunities for homeless and abandoned dogs and cats. The current facility was built in 1995 and can house 100+ dogs and 100+ cats. The organization receives no government funding and is supported by income from our thrift store profits, adoption fees, membership dues, donations and bequests. We recently received a grant to assist in the construction of a new medical/surgical center at the facility.
The animals taken into our care are housed in a clean, secure environment and are spayed/neutered, microchipped, given all necessary shots and a physical exam. Dedicated volunteers are invaluable in assisting with the daily care and nurturing of our dogs and cats prior to finding a loving home. We are proud to note that in the last several years we have increased adoptions from approximately 300 animals per year to over 1000 animals per year.
