Australian Shepherd and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

At West Valley Animal Rescue, we do things a bit differently. While many rescues take days to respond or never reply at all, we move fast. The application (link below) is the first step and helps us confirm that you and your household are a great fit. Once you submit it, text us right away. We’ll review it quickly, and if approved, we can often schedule a same-day adoption appointment so dogs spend less time waiting and more time loved.

💙 Meet Snorlax 💙 The ultimate snuggle buddy with a heart of gold. Snorlax is a soft, cuddly sweetheart whose favorite place in the world is right next to his people. He absolutely lives for affection and will happily lean in, curl up, and soak up every bit of love you give him. When he’s not snuggling, he enjoys gentle play with toys and cozy naps in the comfiest spots he can find. He has a calm, affectionate nature and the kind of easygoing presence that makes a house feel instantly warmer. Snorlax has been wonderful with children, enjoys other dogs, and has been introduced to a cat in his foster home and done beautifully. He is the definition of comfort, companionship, and unconditional love all wrapped up in one very good boy.
