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 Arrow! I’m a 2.5-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a little spark of mischief. After surviving life on the streets of Phoenix, I’m finally safe and learning what it means to be part of a family—and let me tell you, I’m all in. I’m playful, curious, and always up for a good time. I’ll chase the hose like it’s my job, tug-of-war is my sport of choice, and yes—I try to catch bees (don’t worry, I’m working on better hobbies!). I’m also incredibly smart and thrive with routine. I stick close on walks, follow direction well, and love having a confident person to guide me. I’ve been working hard in training—and look how smart I am! Check out my video to see me in action and just how far I’ve come. I’m proud of my progress and know I’ll continue to thrive with a consistent, encouraging hand. I’ll do best with a strong (not physically, but mentally) leader who can provide clear structure and reassurance as I continue to grow. I’m still learning to trust new people and dogs, so I’ll need slow, gentle introductions to new canine friends. Honestly, I’d be happiest as the only dog in the home—it gives me space to settle in and bond deeply with my humans. Because I can be a bit sensitive, a calm home with kids 12 and up would be best. What I really need is someone steady and patient, who can help me continue to grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be. Once I trust you, I’m all about snuggles, loyalty, and soaking up every bit of affection you’re willing to give. Think we could be a perfect match? 💙 Email ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG to meet me!

Story
Meet Max! This 1.5-old Labrador/English Foxhound mix is as sweet as he is handsome—with big floppy ears, a heart full of love, and a tail that never stops wagging. Max is a playful goofball who’s always up for an adventure—whether it’s chasing a ball, going for a stroll around the neighborhood, or sniffing out new trails. He’s got energy to spare and a true zest for life! But don’t let his sporty side fool you—Max is also a major snuggler. After a day of fun, he loves curling up next to his humans for some serious cuddle time. He’s gentle, affectionate, and happiest when he’s part of the action, especially with kids. Max is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He’s crate trained, knows some basic commands, and with a little continued guidance, he’s well on his way to becoming the perfect pup. He needs a home with a yard to run in and someone who can keep up with his playful spirit and return all the love he so freely gives. Ready to meet this lovable goof? Contact Paula at SPWHEEELS1@GMAIL.COM —Max can’t wait to meet his forever family!
