Story
Meet Stella, a Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican hairless) and thirty-one other flavors mixed breed girl. Stella is seven years old and weighs 35 pounds. She is a gentle soul with a heart filled with love. She is sweet, mellow, calm, affectionate and submissive. She feels soft as velvet with her soft skin and tiny amount of fine hair. Which also means low maintenance. Stella can be shy when meeting new people or experiencing new situations. Have patience and with kindness her true spirit shines. Once she is safe and comfortable she blossoms into a loving companion. Stella loves belly rubs and cuddles. She gives the sweetest kisses and a love bug. She can sit and shake. She plays chase with toys and loves to run and play chase with other dogs. She walks great on a leash and great in the car. Stella is not a barker and does not bark at other dogs. Stella doesn’t beg for food at the table but will sit patiently and wait for a bite if you want to share. Stella can use a doggie door, and of course potty trained. Stella loves to be with other dogs and especially loves puppies and play silly puppy games with them. Since Stella is so people-oriented, she would do best in a home where she isn’t left alone for long periods every day. She is well – behaved and does not need to be crated. Stella is looking for a family that will give her time and reassurance as she becomes comfortable being part of their family. She will also need a secure yard that has a block wall to keep her safe and to play in. Most importantly Stella needs a lifetime commitment throughout all life changes. She needs to be included in the family. Stella is spayed, up to date on vaccines, micro chipped and recently had a vet visit with blood work. Stella will make a beautiful and amazing new family member. Come and meet sweet Stella and she will show you how special and precious she is.

Story
Meet Adair! Adair is a sweet, playful young girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She loves people, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is always ready for fun, cuddles, or a tasty treat! She hasnt met any cats yet, so her feline compatibility is still unknown. Born into Valley Dogs Rescue on March 6, 2026, to her Rottweiler mom, Adair has been a little fighter from the very beginning. She was bottle-fed starting at just two days old after her mom was unable to care for the litter. As a tiny puppy, Adair suffered an injury that left her with a droopy eye, but it doesnt affect her health, happiness, or zest for life one bit. In fact, it only adds to her unique charm and makes her even more special. Adair is a smart puppy who is eager to learn and highly food-motivated, making training both fun and rewarding. She already knows sit, is making great progress with stay, and is excited to keep learning new skills with her forever family. She is dog-door trained and kennel trained, sleeping comfortably in her kennel at night and relaxing calmly while her family is away. Adair loves playing with her foster siblings and has a wonderful ability to adjust her play style to match the dogs around her. Whether its energetic wrestling with playful pups or gentle interactions with more sensitive companions, she knows how to fit right in. She does well with both large and small dogs. This happy, active girl would thrive in a family that will continue her training, provide plenty of exercise, and include her in everyday adventures. She is microchipped, spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to find her forever home. To help make her transition easy, Adair will go home with a collar, leash, harness, bowls, bedding, and toys. Her foster mom is also happy to lend a kennel for the first two weeks if needed. If you're looking for a resilient, loving, intelligent, and playful companion who will fill your days with joy, laughter, and unconditional love, Adair may be the perfect addition to your family! If interested please contact Tracy at adopt@valleydogs.org An adoption application can be found at valleydogs.org
