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
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
DOB: 5/6/2025 Breed: Husky/Pitbull mix-Spayed female 26lbs-Microchipped & fully vaccinated-Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $350*A little bit about me… Hi there, I’m Anaise! Just like my cartoon namesake, I’m the smart and gentle one of the bunch. I came here with my two silly brothers, Gumball and Darwin. We have already faced one of our toughest challenges together, we’re proud Parvo survivors! I’ll admit, I’m a little on the shy side. New people and loud places can make me nervous, so I take my time to feel safe. But once I know I can trust you, my sweet and loving side truly shines. I’ll be happiest in a home where patience and kindness are part of the daily routine. I love playing with other pups in playgroups, and I’m starting to learn that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. With a gentle hand and a big heart guiding me, I just know I’ll grow into the most loyal and affectionate companion ever. If you’re ready for a gentle soul who just needs a little time to bloom, pick me!The highlights…-I get spooked easily-Very sweet once comfortable -I take time to warm up to new people-I will need all basic trainingKey points to know…-Patience and gentle confidence are key: She will need time and consistency to feel safe in her new home. Avoid forcing interactions. Instead, let her approach at her own pace. Use calm voices, slow movements, and positive reinforcement so she learns that new experiences can be good ones.-Structure will help her feel secure: Establish a predictable routine for meals, walks, and quiet time. This consistency helps her understand what to expect each day, which reduces anxiety and builds trust. A stable environment will help her confidence grow over time,-Socialization should be slow and positive: Introduce her to new people, places, and other pets gradually, always pairing new experiences with treats and praise. Avoid crowded or loud settings until she’s ready.

Story
He is a beautiful husky/german shepherd mix about 11 months old. He has all his shots and has been chipped and neutered. He is very good on walks and responds to most common commands (ie. sit, down, off, leave it, wait, stay, come, shake, settle, place, no, and his name). He is very friendly and loving, plays well with other dogs and is house trained. He sleeps well through the night, staying off the furniture. He loves a good rawhide bone and puzzle toys. I am rehoming him due to my work schedule. I am gone Monday to Friday and work typically an 8 to 9 hour day. I feel bad for him to be home alone all that time. I feel he needs a home with multiple owners to be loved and cared for.
