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
Gene is a purebred American Akita we purchased about a year ago. She’s just over one year old and due to new work schedules we don’t have the time to tend to her needs. She hasn’t been around other dogs very often, but she has never bit any people. She doesn’t bark much and is potty trained. We are hoping to find a new great home for her.

Story
Hope is a happy, pup who radiates sunshine and brings light wherever she goes. Once found on the streets, scared and alone, she has blossomed into a playful, loving girl who treasures the comfort of home. She adores playing with other dogs, chasing toys, and then curling up for snuggles with her humans. Hope may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, she gives her whole heart. With her joyful spirit and silly antics, Hope finds happiness in everything life has to offer—and she’s ready to share that happiness with a family of her very own.
