Dog of the Week

Martin
Martin was found as a stray almost a year ago. This poor boy has been in rescue far too long and needs a loving family of his own. Martin is great with older kids. He gets along good with other dogs his size and does do well with cats, with proper introduction. He gets along fine with horses and other small animals. He has had some basic obedience and knows how to sit, stay, walk well on a leash and down. He is such a puppy at heart and is a clown to watch him play. He loves to lie around and chew a bone, but he does have some bursts of energy if he is crated when he first comes out. He is crate trained and house broken. This boy has a lot of love to give and he is beautiful too. He rides very good in a car and seems to enjoy it. He loves being with his people.

Special Needs

Singe is a young adult pit bull that was dropped off at Yuma Humane Society. A car was seen pulling away and this poor guy was left tied to a fence. He has horrific burns to his back, neck, shoulders and hind leg. We immediately took him to Prestige Animal Clinic for Dr. Alber to evaluate his wounds.
Singe was set on FIRE… over a week ago!! This poor boy has been suffering unbearable pain from these burns and infection for over week however he has offered nothing but kisses and a wag of his tail for everyone that has crossed his path.
He underwent sedation so that Dr. Alber could clean all his many deep wounds, having to open some up to avoid infection. He is currently under medical foster as he needs 24 hour care for his burns to ensure that he heals which will take no less than 3 weeks.
Please help him...he deserves a fair chance at a good life. You can make donations via PayPal at www.valleyofthesundogrescue.com or Directly to Prestige Animal Clinic at 700 W Ray Gilbert AZ 480-792-0185 if you cannot donate PLEASE SHARE! We have seen a huge increase in abuse and neglect recently. We could not do this without all of you!!!

Special Need

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to rescue abandoned, injured or abused dogs, rehabilitate them, have them vaccinated, spayed or neutered and help them find their forever home. We also strive to increase public awareness about the gentler, humane side of a "Bully" breed.

Our Adoption Process

We hold adoption clinics weekly at various PetSmart pet centers in the area. Although we specialize in American Pitbull and American Staffordshire Terriers, all dog breeds in need are accepted with open arms, evaluated and treated as necessary and adopted to private homes. Our prospective adopters are required to fill out an in depth adoption contract, submit to home checks for a period of one year, as well as pay an adoption fee for the animal. Additionally, there are monetary penalties that must be agreed to for any mistreatment of the adopted animal. We also reserve the right to reclaim the animal in the event of mistreatment. Further, we reserve the right to pursue any individuals for mistreatment or neglect of the adopted animal through the court system or law enforcement agencies. All of the above must be read, initialed and the entire document signed prior to any adoption. We also have additional and specific requirements of the prospective adopters and their families to adopt a “bully” breed that must be met.
