Story
Barley is an 11-year-old Shih Tzu from Tucson, Arizona. He has travelled across the country and has been the little brother for his now-passed Shih Tzu brother named Riley from a different origin family. Barley may be getting up there in age, but he still has plenty of personality. Despite significant vision challenges — his right eye barely functions and his left eye mainly detects shapes — Barley gets around remarkably well. He confidently navigates the house and steers clear of most obstacles, showing just how adaptable and resilient he is. He remains fully continent, potty trained, and enjoys the simple comforts of home life. Unfortunately, Barley’s current family is struggling to give him the attention he deserves. With a new baby and small children in the house, he often ends up spending too much time alone. They love him dearly and want what’s best for him: a peaceful environment where someone has the time to keep him company, offer gentle pets, and enjoy quiet moments.

Story
Meet Teddy! Sweet Teddy is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. He is a sweet, affectionate little guy looking for a loving home to call his own. This wonderful little guy wants nothing more than to be loved and included in your daily life. Whether he's gazing up at you for a little attention or curled up peacefully beside you for a nap, Teddy finds his greatest happiness simply being near his people. At around 7 years old (per his previous owner), Teddy has a calm, easygoing personality. He isn't overly energetic, but he enjoys a leisurely stroll a couple of times a day to see what's happening around the neighborhood. Once he's had his outing, he's content to relax and spend time with his people and enjoy the comfort and security of home. Teddy has done well with the other foster dogs in his home and has shown himself to be a pleasant companion. While we are not aware of any experience with children, Teddy's gentle nature suggests he would be most comfortable in a quiet, low-key home where he can settle in and enjoy a peaceful routine, relaxing and feeling safe and loved. Teddy isn't asking for much, just a loving home, a soft place to rest, and someone to share his days with. In return, he'll offer loyal companionship, a warm presence by your side, and the kind of unconditional love that makes a house feel like home. If you're looking for a devoted friend to cherish, Teddy may be waiting just for you.  Please contact ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG for an adoption application.

Story
Meet Bentley! 11-year-old 25lb Shih Tzu Lhasa Apso Mix This 11-year-young fluff gentleman is a ball guy through and through. His avorite toy? The ball. His hobby? Fetch. His personality? Fetch. (We think you get it.) Bentley is happy, sweet, and a total rockstar with potty training and walks. He loves rubs, cozy sleep time, and car rides — just don’t expect him to be a lap dog. He prefers affection on his terms (very “I love you, but please respect my personal bubble, thank you”). He’s great with people, but dogs? Hard pass. Bentley would like to be your one and only. He’s also a bit of a foodie critic — kibble is not on his approved list — but ground turkey? Five stars. If you’re looking for a delightful, easy companion who’s playful, polite, and perfectly quirky, Bentley is your boy. Grab a ball and let the friendship begin. Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix Small/Med Male Good with People, walks, cars
