Story
Meet Arrow! I’m a 2.5-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a little spark of mischief. After surviving life on the streets of Phoenix, I’m finally safe and learning what it means to be part of a family—and let me tell you, I’m all in. I’m playful, curious, and always up for a good time. I’ll chase the hose like it’s my job, tug-of-war is my sport of choice, and yes—I try to catch bees (don’t worry, I’m working on better hobbies!). I’m also incredibly smart and thrive with routine. I stick close on walks, follow direction well, and love having a confident person to guide me. I’ve been working hard in training—and look how smart I am! Check out my video to see me in action and just how far I’ve come. I’m proud of my progress and know I’ll continue to thrive with a consistent, encouraging hand. I’ll do best with a strong (not physically, but mentally) leader who can provide clear structure and reassurance as I continue to grow. I’m still learning to trust new people and dogs, so I’ll need slow, gentle introductions to new canine friends. Honestly, I’d be happiest as the only dog in the home—it gives me space to settle in and bond deeply with my humans. Because I can be a bit sensitive, a calm home with kids 12 and up would be best. What I really need is someone steady and patient, who can help me continue to grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be. Once I trust you, I’m all about snuggles, loyalty, and soaking up every bit of affection you’re willing to give. Think we could be a perfect match? 💙 Email ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG to meet me!

Story
Meet the great Raja! What is Raj great at you ask? Well, he’s the best couch potato in the house. He also loves to snuggle, cuddle, or just be near his humans. He listens well and just wants to love and be loved. He’s a medium-sized 50lb goofball with a sweet and gentle personality. We are unsure of his age as he was a stray when he came to us, but we guess he's between 3 and 5 years old. He likes short to medium-length walks but would need more cardio for longer walks or for hikes. Raj appears to be good with adults and children over 8 yrs old however we have not seen him interact with toddlers. He is also good with other medium size or above dogs but will avoid overly excited dogs. Unfortunately, he does like to chase cats. We do not recommend him for a home that has toddlers, small dogs, or cats. Raj is housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and knows basic commands like sit, down and stay. Raj is currently being cared for in central Phoenix but they are willing to travel for meet and greets anywhere in the greater Phoenix area. If you would like to meet this sweet boy, please email BICKLEKT@GMAIL.COM or DAVEPROCHAZKA@GMAIL.COM Raja is a courtesy post through Valley Dogs Rescue.

Story
Bella Roe is a sweet, 9-month-old Pitbull mix puppy who was rescued from the county shelter and is now ready to find her forever family. She’s been fully vet-checked, spayed, current on all her vaccines, licensed, and microchipped. Bella Rose also had an echocardiogram to ensure her heart murmur is being monitored, though it’s not causing any issues at this time. She’s a very happy pup who is eager to start her new life with a loving family. This little cutie is incredibly smart, playful, and full of love. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is already making great strides with house and crate training. Bella Rose loves to be around people and is sure to bring endless joy and affection to her new home. As with all puppies, she will need to continue her doggie training, but she’s a quick learner and will thrive with positive reinforcement. Bella Rose is looking for a family where someone is home a lot to shower her with love and attention. She’d also thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where she can safely play and burn off her puppy energy. Her adoption fee is $480, which helps cover some of her vet care and other expenses. If you’re looking for a fun, loving, and playful puppy to add to your family, Bella Rose might be the perfect fit! Come meet this sweet girl and see if she’s the right companion for you! Please contact Carrie On Rescue at carrieonrescuers@hotmail.com or call or text us at (480) 603-7680 if you have any questions about Bella Rose and to request an application. We do not adopt our dogs outside of Arizona.

Story
Choco came into our lives in the sweetest, most unexpected way. We found him at a small neighborhood yard sale as a tiny puppy, and he quickly became part of our family. We’ve had him for about two years now, and in that time he’s grown into a very friendly, loving dog with tons of playful energy. Choco absolutely loves being outdoors, going on long walks, exploring, and being around people. He’s used to being kenneled while we’re at work, and he does well with that routine, but our schedules have gotten so tight that we aren’t able to give him the time, attention, and activity he truly deserves. He would be perfect for someone who enjoys being outside, going on walks or even little adventures, and who wants a loyal companion to pour love into. Our hope is to find him a home where he can thrive, stay active, and be as adored as he deserves. If you think you could be that person or family, Choco would love to meet you.

Story
Meet Eagle — Your Future Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Champion! Hi there! My name is Eagle, and I’m a sweet, wiggly Staffie mix looking for my forever family. My story started in October 2024 when a kind human saw me get thrown from a moving truck. She immediately stopped, scooped me up, and brought me to a safe foster home so I could heal and learn what love really feels like. Not long after arriving, I was diagnosed with parvo and hookworms, but I fought hard, spent a few days in the hospital, and made a full recovery. Now I’m healthy, happy, and SO ready to meet my forever people! * Age: 14 months * Weight: ~70 lbs * Kennel trained & housebroken (dog door or a polite bark!) * Great with other dogs — I love to play! Sometimes I bark when I first see new humans, but it’s just my way of saying “Hey! Notice me so I can get pets!” 🎉 My Personality * I’m a fun, energetic pup who loves: * Zoomies (I’m really good at them!) * Car rides * Walks and adventures * Playing fetch (…okay, you throw it and I chase it, but you might need to go pick it up again 😄) * Snuggling on the couch and napping with my foster gramma 🏡 My Ideal Home I’d do best in a home with older children (I don’t want to accidentally knock a tiny human over during zoomie time!) and an active family who enjoys having a playful companion. Another friendly dog would be a huge bonus! I do need to have alpha/strong humans to help keep me in check so I can remember my manners. ❤️ Ready to Love Me Forever? If you have room in your home and your heart, please contact ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG.for an adoption application. ***With tail wags and kisses,

Story
Hi, I’m Frankie (Francis is my name when I am feeling fancy). I’m a 5-year-old Tri Colored English Bulldog and have the heart of a puppy. When you first meet me, my nubby tail will be wiggling and I will let you fall in love with me. But when you take me home, I will be reserved and shy at first. I will slowly open up and show you my silly side. I will be your shadow so you no longer have to go to the bathroom alone. I am super smart and food motivated. I know how to sit, high five, down, and stay/wait. I’m working on leave it, drop it, and answering to my name (to be honest, I know my name, I just really like the treats). I would do best as an only dog or with a dog that is submissive, and with a family who will set firm and consistent boundaries. I’ve been living with a 5 year old child, and while I do LOVE HER, I have jumped at her when we all are excited, so I might be better suited with a family with children no younger than 5. (By the way, I can jump super high). I absolutely love my toys and food, but I can get a little protective of them. Since I spent some time living on the streets, I learned to guard what was mine to stay safe. Because of that, it’s best if other pets give me space during mealtime or when I have a toy. With love, patience, and consistency, I know I can learn to relax and share more easily. I walk very well on a leash, and like to stop to look at other dogs. I go potty outside (I use a doggie door at my foster’s house), and I enjoy baths and playing in the kiddie pool. I do worry when you are away, but if you promise to always come back, I can handle you leaving from time to time. I love my ears and butt scratches, and apparently my eyebrows are good luck so don’t forget to rub those. I will be your best friend, if you’ll be mine. So let’s be roommates and I will promise to be a good loyal boy. ****Please email ADOPT@VALLEYDOGS.ORG to meet me!

Update: Metal has started showing aggression, unprovoked toward my son. I can not have a dog that will hurt a child in my home. Needing to rehome our 7yr old pitbull terrier. We have had her for two months and my son has started having breathing issues related to her specific pet dander. We are also in a rental that just updated policy of breed restriction no exception (even if an emotional support animal) Metal is house trained, crate trained and good with some humans. She can be calm but also has a silly side. She loves stuffed animals and treats them like her babies. She is dog reactive while walking which we are trying to improve. Does have pulling and spinning when seeing other dogs. Needs to have someone with good control and discipline.
