Story
⚓ All Aboard! Meet First Mate Aleks! ⚓ Every great yacht needs a steady first mate, and Aleks is ready to find the crew he's been waiting for! This 2-year-old, 60-pound Pit Bull mix may seem a little cautious when you first come aboard, but give him a little time and you'll discover a sweet dog who's ready to chart a new course. Aleks is undersocialized, so new people and situations can feel like rough seas. He can be a bit dodgy at first, but with patience, kindness, and a calm environment, his confidence starts to come ashore. Because he's looking for the right crew, we recommend a home with older, calmer kids, 10 years and older, and everyone in the household should meet Aleks before adoption to make sure it's a perfect fit. Before setting sail for his forever home, Aleks will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. So if you're ready to captain a journey filled with patience, trust, and plenty of happy moments, Aleks is ready to come aboard and become your most loyal crewmate! 🛥️🐾

Story
🧸 Meet Teddy! 🐾 Teddy is a 2-year-old, 83-pound Beauceron mix who may be a big guy, but he's still learning that the world isn't such a scary place. He'll be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines before going home. Teddy is undersocialized and head shy, especially when it comes to having a leash placed over his head. He'll do best with a patient family who will go at his pace and use positive reinforcement to help build his confidence. His previous owner says Teddy is housetrained and knows basic commands. He's recommended for kids 10+ and is not a good fit for a home with toddlers. With patience, consistency, and plenty of kindness, Teddy has lots of potential to become a wonderful companion. 🧸💙

Story
Rockruff is ready to find his Trainer! 🐾⛰️ Meet Rockruff, a 1-year-old, 65-pound Pit Bull mix with a heart full of love and enough enthusiasm to keep life exciting! Like his Pokémon namesake, this handsome guy is full of energy and always ready for his next adventure. Rockruff is still a young dog learning his manners and can get a little overexcited, sometimes using his mouth to grab onto clothing during play. With positive training, consistency, and plenty of outlets for his energy, he'll have all the tools he needs to shine. Because of his energetic play style and mouthy puppy habits, we recommend a home with children ages 12 and up who can help him continue learning good dog manners. Before heading home, Rockruff will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who's equal parts cuddle bug and adventure buddy, Rockruff is ready to level up with his forever family!

Story
🐾 Meet Jethro – The Enthusiastic Sidekick! 🐾 Every adventure needs someone who's all in—and that's Jethro! This 1½-year-old, 71-pound Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler) mix believes life is best lived with happy feet, wagging tails, and plenty of excitement. Jethro came to the shelter as a stray alongside his friend Ida, and he's been winning hearts ever since with his sweet personality. Walks are one of his favorite activities... although he sometimes gets so excited that he forgets you're attached to the other end of the leash! With a little training and consistency, he'll be ready to turn those enthusiastic strolls into smooth adventures. Like his friend Ida, Jethro can be reactive around other dogs, so a mandatory meet and greet is required before adoption to make sure everyone starts off on the right paw. We also recommend kids 10+ to keep everyone safe. Jethro will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations before heading home. If you're looking for a fun-loving partner who's always ready to say "Let's go!", Jethro is packed and waiting!

🎤 THE FRECKLES INTERVIEW 🐾 🎤 How long have you been at West Valley Humane Society? 🐾 I have been here for about 6 months. As much as I enjoy spending time with them, I really would like to find my forever home. 🎤 What is your favorite season? 🐾 Summer so I can jump around and play in the water. 🎤 What is your favorite thing to eat? 🐾 Everything, including unattended toys and unsupervised bags of treats. 🎤 What do you enjoy doing in your free time? 🐾 I really like playing with rope toys and playing fetch. 🎤 What does your ideal family look like? 🐾 I prefer a home with adults and older children. I have a lot of energy and don’t do well around small children. 🎤 Would you like to be the only pet in the family or are you okay with sharing the attention? 🐾 I would prefer to do a meet and greet with other dogs that live in the current home so I can decide if I am able to get along with them. 🎤 What is something important people should know about you? 🐾 I get overstimulated easily, so I would do best with a family who can give me exercise, structure, and continued training. Come meet Freckles! This handsome red/white merle Pit Bull mix is only 1 years old and weighs 61 pounds. He is already neutered, has a microchip, and is up to date on vaccines. He is ready to move on to his forever family.

Story
Meet Ghost! 🐾 Ghost is a big, kind, lovable, and loyal shepherd who is 10 years young. Ghost came to us as a stray with an injury to his front right leg from too many years spent laying on hard floors. Despite his injury, he has been the bestest and kindest boy as he recovers from his injury and is a staff favorite. Some things to know about Ghost: 🏡 - He is currently living in a foster home and is available to see by appointment. 🐕 - When it comes to other dogs, he's picky about his K9 friends and can be defensive of his "person", toys, and food. 🐈‍⬛ - As for felines, he would do best in a home without cats. 🚫 - He is afraid of stairs and would do best in a home where he can be with his humans on a single level. 💊 - While he would claim otherwise, he has some moderate arthritis that is well treated with inexpensive medicine. He loves short walks and is more than capable of jumping into bed for nighttime cuddles. 🧬 - His fosters got curious and had him DNA tested: https://www.wisdompanel.com/app/s/kbg4p6v Ghost is neutered, microchipped, and will be up to date on vaccines before heading home, so he'll be ready for his fresh start. Ghost is looking for a soft place to land where he can spend his golden years close to his people. Give this sweet, loyal old gentleman a little patience, a comfy bed, and plenty of love, and he’ll give you a devoted companion who still has plenty of life—and cuddles—left to share. ❤️ If you are interested in meeting Ghost, please reach out to his foster, Chris, at chrish@westvalleyhumanesociety.org
