Story
At West Valley Animal Rescue, we do things a bit differently. While many rescues take days to respond or never reply at all, we move fast. The application (link below) is the first step and helps us confirm that you and your household are a great fit. Once you submit it, text us right away. We’ll review it quickly, and if approved, we can often schedule a same-day adoption appointment so dogs spend less time waiting and more time loved. https://www.westvalleyanimalrescue.com/app 💙 Meet Rhombus 💙 Tiny body, huge heart, and one very brave little soul. Rhombus is a super sweet and loving Shih Tzu who weighs just 6 pounds but carries a whole lot of personality. He was found as a stray and came to us badly matted, so he needed a very short haircut, and now he proudly rocks a mohawk because he earned it. This little guy absolutely adores people and follows his foster mom and dad everywhere they go. He loves kids, rides exceptionally well in the car, and fits right into family life. Rhombus uses the dog door at his foster home, is kennel trained, and does not need to be crated when the family is away. He is happiest being close to his people and soaking up affection. Because of his tiny size, he needs a home that will respect just how small and delicate he is while still letting his big personality shine. Rhombus’s adoption donation includes his age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, groom, neuter, microchip, collar and leash. Apply below to adopt Rhombus. We are a foster-based rescue with homes mainly in Goodyear and Buckeye. If approved, you’ll meet a volunteer or foster family at a local pet store we partner with or at a foster home for adoption. The address will be shared once your appointment is scheduled. Breed and age are estimated and not guaranteed. Please see our website’s FAQs for more information. Please note: Breed and age are our best estimates and not guaranteed. For more details, visit the FAQ section on our website.

Story
Say hello to Henry! Henry is an approximately seven-year-old, 16-pound male Shih-Tzu mix, available for adoption in Phoenix Az at Chi Town Rescue. Sadly, this is not Henry's first go-round with looking for a forever family. Henry was adopted quite a few years ago from us, but recently turned up as a matted and dirty stray near a homeless shelter in Bisbee. We contacted his owner who said that she had given him to her brother and could not care for him anymore. One of our amazing volunteers took a road trip to Bisbee and brought Henry back to Chi Town Rescue, safe and ready to find a true forever this time around. Henry is a happy, fun, and friendly adult/senior dog. He is social with people and loves cuddle time and hugs. He is also social with other dogs and enjoys play-prancing and a little wrestle-time; bring your dog from home in to see if they will be buddies! Henry also enjoys squeaky toys, fetch, and walks (he walks great on leash). You may have noticed Henry's adorable underbite. We want to mention that per our clinic, Henry does not need a dental at this time; the coloring on his teeth is staining and not tartar. Henry is a great dog who has had the misfortune of finding himself without a home, through no fault of his own. If you've been looking for a mature but fun little dog and can commit to Henry forever, why not come meet him?! Henry's adoption fee includes vaccinations up to date including Rabies certificate, prior neuter surgery, and microchip. Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment.  December 24, 2025, 10:33 pm
