My story

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

At West Valley Animal Rescue, we do things a bit differently. While many rescues take days to respond or never reply at all, we move fast. The application (link below) is the first step and helps us confirm that you and your household are a great fit. Once you submit it, text us right away. We’ll review it quickly, and if approved, we can often schedule a same-day adoption appointment so dogs spend less time waiting and more time loved.

💙 Meet Norman 💙 A tender little lap lover who just wants to be close. Norman is a loving, gentle boy whose favorite place in the world is curled up in your lap, soaking in warmth and affection. When he came to us from the recent 62-dog home we assisted with, his coat was in rough condition and required a shorter haircut to help him feel comfortable again, and he will need regular grooming moving forward to keep him looking and feeling his best. It is clear he was loved, as he has done well with kids and other dogs. Norman learned to use puppy pads in his previous home and is now being introduced to a dog door in foster care, and his soft, devoted nature makes him a perfect snuggle companion for someone wanting a constant cuddle buddy.

Norman’s adoption donation includes his age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, neuter, microchip, collar and leash. Apply below to adopt Norman.

We are a foster-based rescue with homes mainly in Goodyear and Buckeye. If approved, you’ll meet a volunteer or foster family at a local pet store we partner with or at a foster home for adoption. The address will be shared once your appointment is scheduled. Breed and age are estimated and not guaranteed. Please see our website’s FAQs for more information.

Additional adoption info

At West Valley Animal Rescue, we do things differently. We know some rescues take days or even weeks to respond — or never respond at all. That is not how we operate. We move quickly for families who are ready, and we’re committed to getting dogs into loving homes without delay. That’s why it’s so important that applications are only submitted when you’re truly ready. We respect your time — and we ask the same in return.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

You can meet our dogs in one of two ways – become approved to adopt or attend an event. All of our dogs are in foster homes, out of respect for their time, we only ask them to conduct meetings with approved adopters. We typically hold events in the fall and winter when weather allows, one or two Saturdays a month, but not all dogs go to all events. The quickest way to meet and adopt a dog is to fill out an application and text us when it’s submitted!

More about this rescue

West Valley Animal Rescue rescues and rehomes stray, unwanted and owner surrendered animals in Arizona.

Our main focus is helping shelters. We pull as many animals as possible, as often as possible so they are not overflowing. We also occasionally take in owner surrenders, strays and animals listed on Facebook/Craigslist that are unaltered.

Every animal is altered, microchipped, dewormed and vaccinated before we find them a loving home. We are foster home based, we have no physical shelter location.
