Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact Carrie, 413-949-1872, charleme3@gmail.com:   MEET TITAN #2!! Titan is super lovey once he gets to know you. He listens well unless he is busy barking and chasing the chickens behind a fence. He is very food motivated which would help with training. He is eager to please and would thrive with a strong leader to help work with him and show him the way. He does not chew on random things or try to escape. He loves walks and is good  on a harness. But, to be honest, he would rather sniff than walk. He is house trained and sleeps in his kennel at night. Titan does not do well with other dogs, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. He is food aggressive and will only eat his food off the floor. Currently, he is in a home with his doggie siblings but he wants all the attention and fights have occurred. Are you looking for a laid back, big boy to hang out with? Meet Titan today!

Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact (Current Owner of Dog):  Robert Wiedmaier; 480-748-8906; bob.f.wiedmaier@gmail.com MEET NALA #13!! Nala is a sweet, affectionate, and intelligent dog who loves her people and enjoys being part of the family. She is leash trained, rides well in the car, and has a playful side that comes out when she's spending time with those she trusts. Nala is obedient, eager to please, and naturally protective of her home, while also being gentle and loving with both adults and children. Because she has a very strong prey drive, she needs a home without cats or other small animals, and she is not a good match for homes with small dogs. She can be cautious and reactive when meeting unfamiliar dogs, but with slow, controlled introductions and experienced handling, she has successfully learned to coexist with some dogs her size or larger. Nala will do best with a securely fenced yard and an owner who understands the importance of proper management and continued structure. In the right home where her needs are understood, Nala is a loyal, devoted companion who will reward her family with endless love, companionship, and a playful spirit. Complete an application and meet Nala.

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
Hawk and his big personality join us all the way from Casa Grande. We saw his sweet and goofy personality and knew that all he needs is a chance to be seen to finally find a place to call home. Hawk is friendly and affectionate when meeting new people. He’s a young dog with a love for life, but definitely has some learning to do. Hawk has youthful energy that loves to play, splash in the water and come in for pets. Hawk most likely hasn’t had someone to help guide and provide him structure in the past, so he’s currently fine tuning his leash manners and overall obedience skills to prepare him to move into his forever home. Each day he’s making improvements and building his confidence. Hawk is known to be dog-friendly with proper introductions and is a rough and rowdy player. Hawk will thrive in a confident home that can help guide him with structure, routine and boundaries to assure that he settles in nicely. Apply to meet Hawk!

Story
Teddy is a 3 year old husky/pitbull/maltese mix. We adopted him from the Arizona Humane Society back when he was a puppy. He is an energetic dog that loves to play fetch and chew on toys but he also loves to cuddle with us at the end of the day on the couch. He is house trained and crate trained (although he prefers to be out of his crate at night to sleep besides our bed). He knows a few tricks like sit, down, shake, and bang! He is a great family dog, but will probably do better with older children because his excitement can sometimes come off a bit rough for young children. Although he is a husky mix, he sheds minimally and is not a double coated dog (more like a Maltese in terms of his fur). He is allergic to beef and chicken so will benefit with a salmon based kibble/treats.

Story
Gerald’s mom is a 20 lb Shiba Inu, dad is a 75 lb Husky. My ex and I own them and they had babies about 2 years ago. I had homes all picked out for the puppies when they were all born but my ex didn’t think anyone had the proper space for him. We did raise him since he was a puppy! I’m not sure about cats and other dogs not within his family but he got along with his siblings and parents. Temperament wise, he’s a very chill cuddly boy. No bite history. He grew up with 2 kids crawling all over him, a baby and toddler who are now toddler and big kid. My toddler will put him in his place and tell him “no” or to move and he shows zero interest or care to her doing that. No medical history to report, I will get him fixed prior if you decide to take him. Doesn’t seem to have allergies at all. He used to use a kennel but would break out all the time so we just ended up leaving him in our living room with a baby gate and he stayed in there fine. Sits at door to be let out to potty.
