Story
Hi, my name is Walker! I am a 5-month-old snugglebug. My foster family thinks I am a lab/heeler mix and will grow up to be a large-sized dog, over 60lbs, when fully grown. I am neutered, microchipped, current on all of my vaccinations, crate trained, and house trained. I also know basic commands like sit, stay, and down. I am a little shy when I first meet new people, but I do warm up quickly. I am currently being fostered with other dogs that range in size from 12lbs to 70lbs, and I LOVE to play with them. Because I have heeler in me, I also like to 'herd' them when we run and chase each other in the yard. I am still 100% puppy and will need lots of exercise, toys, and walks. I would probably do best with children over the age of 8 years old, and would love another older doggie friend to help show me the ropes. I am very loyal to the humans in my life and love to be close to them when we are just chilling in the house, plus, did I mention I am a great snuggler too. ***If you are interested in a meet and greet, please contact bicklekt@gmail.com

Story
Meet Cy! Cy is our adventurous, outdoorsy boy who’s currently soaking up life in beautiful Payson, AZ! He’s happiest exploring the Great Outdoors — chasing lizards and squirrels (don’t worry, he never catches them!) and sneaking peanuts from the squirrel feeder to enjoy while lounging in the grass. Recently, Cy met his foster sister Ellijay (Ellie for short), and the two quickly became inseparable. They cuddle together for car rides, share naps, and love their daily walks and weekly park adventures. We would be thrilled to see this sweet duo find a forever home together, where they can enjoy plenty of space to run, play, and live life to the fullest. True to his Doberman nature, Cy is loyal and protective, but once he knows you, he’s an affectionate and devoted friend. Cy’s perfect home: 🐶 Good with medium to large dogs (with proper introductions) 👧 Best with children 8 and older 🐱 No cats, please If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a love for adventure — and maybe room for his best friend Ellie too — Cy might just be your guy! ❤️ Please email SPWHEELS1@GMAIL.COM

Story
Hi, I’m Ellijay — but everyone calls me Ellie! 💛 I’m a happy girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, exploring a new trail, or tagging along on errands, I’m always up for being part of the fun. I’ve been learning my manners (I can sit and stay!) and I’m so proud that I’ve mastered the doggie door — as long as my humans are close by. I just love being near my people and feeling part of the family. The best part of my days? Spending them with my foster brother, Cy. We’ve become inseparable! We nap side by side, ride in the car together, and have the best time on our daily walks and park adventures. We’re a true team — playful, affectionate, and happiest together — and we’d love to find a forever home as a pair where we can keep making memories side by side. If you’re looking for two loyal, loving companions to fill your home with joy (and maybe a few extra snuggles), Cy and I just might be your perfect match! 📩 Please email SPWHEELS1@GMAIL.COM

Story
🐾 Meet Hallow — Your Future Best Friend! 🧡 Hi! My name is Hallow. I was found as a stray on Halloween 2025, and after I gently nudged a kind stranger while he was trying to get coffee, he helped me get to Valley Dogs Rescue—and now I’m safe, loved, and ready to find my forever family. My foster mom thinks my birthday is around September 31, 2025, and that I’m a Staffordshire Terrier. She’s guessing I’ll grow to about 60 lbs, based on my big puppy paws. I’m still little, so I don’t know much about that—but I trust her! I’m a happy, playful pup with a big heart and lots of love to give. I adore playing with my foster brothers and even the neighbor dogs who come over to visit. I’ve already figured out how to use the doggy door, and I sit politely for treats. I’m practicing “stay”—right now I can manage about 30 seconds, and I’m getting better every day! I also sleep in a kennel at night and feel safe and cozy there. My wish list: 🏡 A loving family 🌳 A yard to run and explore 📚 Humans who understand my breed 🎓 A commitment to training so I can grow into the very best companion you’ve ever had I’m neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and ready to go home right now. My adoption fee is $400, and I come with lots of goodies: ✔️ Collar ✔️ Leash ✔️ Harness ✔️ Toys ✔️ Blankets ✔️ Bowls ✔️ My very own kennel If you have room in your heart and home, please reach out to ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG. I can’t wait to meet you and start our new life together. 🧡🐾
