Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Sumantra is a friendly and resilient pup who was found as a stray and is ready to start his next chapter in a loving home. Despite his uncertain past, he has shown himself to be social and people-oriented, happily engaging with those he meets. He was seen with another dog. Sumantra is still learning his leash manners and can pull strongly, so he’ll benefit from continued training and guidance. He also showed some restlessness in the car, but with patience and structure, he has great potential to settle in. With his sweet nature and eagerness to connect, Sumantra is looking for a family who will provide him with stability, enrichment, and the love he deserves.

Story
Java is a friendly, outgoing pup who is ready to turn his next adventure into a forever home! Found at a park alongside another dog and has shown himself to be social with people and comfortable around older kids. He’s still learning his manners—especially on leash, where his enthusiasm means he pulls quite strongly—and will benefit from continued training and guidance. Java rides with lots of excitement in the car and is always ready to be part of the action. This energetic boy is looking for a patient and active family who can help him channel his energy, build his skills, and give him the love and structure he deserves.

Story
Marley is a good boy.He knows sit and sometimes paw for treats. I’m moving to another state and just can’t take him with me. He has had the parvo vaccine from the breeder but not sure on any other vaccines. He would do best with a fenced yard cause he is full of energy and loves to run.

Story
We adopted Kobe as a puppy from a breeder before having children. He doesn't like the loud chaos our house has become. He is 8 years old and in good health. His shots are up to date and he get's groomed regularly. He's a sweet guy he just cannot go to a home with children. He also has a very dominate personality and needs to be the only animal in the house. We are looking to rehome him because we are moving and my mom's cat will be joining us.

Story
Wolfie is a sociable, energetic boy who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be intimidating at first and may need a confident introduction before he settles in. He’s eager to play and he has a playful streak with water hoses that never fails to bring a smile. He weighs 89 pounds and is approximately 3-4 years old.??Wolfie is still learning the leash. He is learning to come when called and sits nicely when prompted. He is a homebody at heart, but he still needs plenty of exercise to burn off his occasional bursts of energy. He also enjoys walks with his humans.??Located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant. NOTE- ISABELLE IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR ANOTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW Valley View Animal Rescue  email: amybennettwashburn@hotmail.com Phone: (540) 862-1756Isabelle is our oldest rescue and has been waiting for a home since 5/20/2025. In puppyhood, she was transferred into our care from another shelter and was adopted quite early. She was returned as a 1 year old, and after months of waiting, was adopted out again. In her last home, she served as protector of her female owner while her male owner was away on business, and got lots of TLC and training. While she was such a good girl at that home, her owners went through a divorce, and she was returned back to us last May at no fault of her own. Isabelle misses having a big yard to play in and a family to snuggle. She is a very good girl with manners and obedience and while she is near and dear to our hearts, the kennel life is not what's best for her. She would do best in a home with older children as she does not like her belly or booty touched (unless she gets booty scratches- she LOVES those), and does well with young, submissive canine companions (or as an only dog). She would benefit from a large yard to run in as she has loads of energy. We recommend a fenced in yard or a training collar, as that is what her previous owner used. Isabelle loves all people, but is especially a girl's girl. For more information, you may call our office at the number listed, or to apply for adoption, our online link is: https://forms.office.com/r/qpqJJH6CD2 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 10, 2026, 9:35 pm

She hails from the streets of Houston, TX, where she was found wandering, an unfortunately common scenario in that area. Agnes is a truly special pup in need of a fresh start with defined boundaries so that she can enjoy the world of meeting new dogs again. Aggie is sweet, silky soft, and relishes in snuggles and being close to people in general. She is very food motivated (albiet a sensitive tummy to chicken & abrupt changes in diet) and has decent recall skills (fears missing out so she always came right back whenever she had snuck out). We are confident that with consistent training, leadership and continued love, Aggie can be an excellent addition to your 'ohana' (family). Agnes is currently living in Baltimore. Her DNA report is attached. If you are interested in adopting Agnes, please contact:Jessica Cooper, email: jncooper892@gmail.com410-652-6011Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 10, 2026, 9:35 pm
