Story
Hello! My name is Oso, which means “bear” in Spanish—but don’t let the name fool you! I’m a gentle giant with a heart full of love. I was saved just three hours before my time was up at the county shelter, and even though I’m a senior, I have so much life and love left to give! I’m all about people—I love them, like really, really love them. After spending my whole life outdoors, I’m absolutely thrilled by the comfort of indoor air conditioning and a doggy door that lets me wander into the yard whenever I want. Life is good! One of my favorite things is carrying around my stuffed toys, especially the small ones—they make me so happy! I also love chasing a ball and am the best boy when it’s time for a bath. Treats are my weakness, especially chicken tacos (yum!). I’m looking for a home where I can be the only dog because I just want to soak up all the love for myself. I’m easygoing, never bark, and my tail wiggles with joy when I meet new friends. I’m dreaming of a forever home where I can give lots of kisses, enjoy scratchies, and just be your loyal companion for the rest of my days. If you can offer me a place to call home, please reach out to my foster mom, Jenn, at 602-710-4143. I can’t wait to meet you! ❤️ I’m a courtesy post for Valley Dogs Rescue.

Story
Taeo is my father's dog. My father passed away in October. I live in Colorado, and have been temporarily living in Arizona to care for my father, and now Taeo. I need to get back home and cannot bring him with me. Taeo is 13 years old. He is on fluconazole for valley fever and probably does not have much time left. He still goes on daily walks, eats regularly, and likes being outside. He is very mild mannered/mellow, friendly, and loyal. I work full time and am typically out of the house a lot. I hope that someone can give him a better end of life than I can.

Story
PLEASE NOTE: This dog is courtesy posted for another individual or Rescue. Different policies and fees may apply.  Meet Bear! This fluffy, cuddly sweetheart has been waiting for his forever home for over two years after being abandoned at a boarding facility in April 2022. Bear is as loving and loyal as they come—his tail is always wagging, and he thrives on being around his people. Bear is great on a leash, making him the perfect hiking or walking buddy. He loves car rides, especially feeling the wind in his face, and enjoys splashing in the water on warm days. Well-mannered in public, Bear adores pets and quality time with his family. While he’s non-reactive to other dogs on walks and hikes, he’ll need a proper introduction to any potential fur siblings, which the rescue will facilitate. Bear would do best in a home without kids or cats. This happy, soft, and affectionate boy is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. After such a long wait, Bear is ready for a loving home where he can finally relax and enjoy life. Could that be with you?

Story
Luna is the sweetest silliest husky. We got her in 2/2020. She was born 11/22/2019. She is great with other dogs and good with kids. She has basic training and knows some fun tricks. She is sassy and talkative and still enjoys playing in her older years. She loves going outside and exploring and napping the day away. I am heart broken at the thought of rehoming her but we have run into financial hardship and are having a hard time keeping up with ongoing expenses. My hope is to find someone who can help her and give her the financial care that I cannot. She deserves more than we can give her.

Story
Wild at heart coming through! Kane here would appreciate a home that has lots of space to just go crazy.His favorite part of the day is going outside and just zooming around, he even makes some of the funniest faces when he just whizzes on past you. He loves any toy that can jump up and bounce in the direction one least expects. Please ask to meet him or even see if staff have any zoomie face photos, I promise you will not be disappointed.
