Story
Meet Dharma! ❤️ Dharma is a beautiful brown and black Pug mix who is about 2 years old and weighs approximately 25–30 pounds. At the heart of everything she does, Dharma simply wants to be loved. She has a fun, playful side and especially enjoys romping around with her buddy, Pixel. The two of them can keep each other entertained for hours! Once playtime is over, though, Dharma settles down quickly and is perfectly happy relaxing beside her favorite people. Dharma is an endlessly curious girl who likes to investigate everything around her. Sometimes she approaches new things with a little caution—a toy she hasn't seen before in the yard or an unfamiliar object in the house might seem suspicious at first. But once she has a chance to check it out, she quickly realizes there's nothing to worry about and happily moves on. She loves people and gets along well with cats. She's also good with most dogs after a slow introduction, although larger dogs can make her a little nervous. She's never aggressive—just a sensitive girl who appreciates a little patience while she builds confidence. Dharma also does well with calm, respectful children. Dharma has made great progress with her house training. Crate training has helped her develop a good routine, and she keeps her kennel clean while waiting to go outside. With continued consistency, she'll continue to thrive. When it's time to cuddle, Dharma is all in! She loves curling up with her people and occasionally forgets she's a little bigger than the average lap dog. If you don't mind sharing your lap with a sweet girl who thinks she fits perfectly, Dharma will happily soak up every bit of affection. With her playful spirit, gentle heart, growing confidence, and endless love to give, Dharma is ready to find a patient, loving family who will help her continue to blossom into the amazing companion she's meant to be. ***PLEASE EMAIL ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG for an adoption application.

Story
Graham is a charming 3-year-old Pug mix weighing 16 pounds who is ready to bring fun, laughter, and plenty of personality to his forever home! Having recently arrived from a county shelter, this happy little guy is excited to start his next chapter with a family of his own.Graham is an active, playful pup who absolutely loves toys—especially squeaky ones! He can happily entertain himself with a toy but would much rather have a person join in on the fun. When playtime gets especially exciting, Graham can get a little carried away and may become mouthy, though he does so gently and without pressure. Like many enthusiastic young dogs, he's still learning how to channel all that excitement appropriately.This busy boy enjoys staying engaged and would thrive in a home that can provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. He may need a refresher on housetraining, so a consistent schedule and routine will help set him up for success.When meeting other dogs, Graham can be a bit cautious at first, preferring to take his time before deciding if he'd like to make a new friend.If you're looking for a playful, entertaining companion with a big personality packed into a small package, Graham may be the perfect fit. Come meet this lovable little guy and see if he's the missing piece of your family!To get started in the process of meeting Graham, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then come by the Adoption Center to meet with one of our adoption counselors. No appointments are necessary and you can come and see us any time we are open. Please go to our website (www.azfriends.org) to fill out a consultation form then come and see us! We do require any family interested in meeting our dogs or cats to fill out a consultation form – this form helps us determine if the dog/cat and the home are a good match, since it is so easy to fall in love with a photo, without knowing the personality of the animal. Once you have filled out the online Adoption Consultation Form, just come in and see us (or come and see us and fill out the consultation form upon arrival)!Please note that ALL dogs and cats are available to the first home that meets the dog or cat that we feel is a good match. In order to help make the best match, we do want all family members (dogs and humans) to meet any potential new family member. Our adoption center hours are: Closed Sunday/Monday; Tuesday 10a-2p, Wednesday 3p-7p, Thursday 3p-7p, Friday 10a-2p, Saturday 10a-4p. We are located at 952 W Melody Avenue in Gilbert (zip code 85233).All animals are altered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, licensed (dogs). Cats tested for FELV/FIV. Dogs tested for Heartworm. All animals are available to the first family that is a good match, and if we have more than one animal who is a good match, there will be a lottery for all matches. Note that families must have come in to our adoption center and spoken with an adoption counselor prior to any lottery (when we have lotteries, they usually occur on Saturday mornings).

Story
Meet Sonic 🐾Sonic is a sweet, gentle pug looking for a new home. We got him at 9 months old during the pandemic and he’s been a great dog, but life circumstances mean it’s time to find him his next family.He’s incredibly gentle with kids and other dogs, and he listens well. He truly just wants to be near his people.Honest stuff: Sonic was never fully potty trained and will mark if not supervised, so he needs someone who can keep an eye on him or use tools like a belly band/crate training. He’s also a moderate shedder — we recently learned our son has a significant dog allergy, which is a big part of why we’re rehoming him.This is a hard goodbye. We just want Sonic in a home ready for his quirks, where he can thrive. Reach out with any questions!
