Age: 3.5 years Sex: Female Breed: manxAbout me: I’m a petite little girl who enjoys getting all the attention! You will fall in love with my dainy features and my adorable mew! My ideal home would be with someone who is with me most of the time, especially if I don’t have to share your affection!
Age: 5 years Sex: male Breed: Domestic short-hairAbout me: I am a very friendly boy who has been here since I was a kitten, overlooked because of my color. My favorite thing to do is follow around visitors in the hopes of being petted! I’m still looking for the right match. I just need someone to look past my coat to my loving PURR- sonality!
Age: 6.5 years Sex: Female Breed: Border Collie mixAbout me: I might be a little older, but I still have plenty of spunk! I enjoy going for walks and exploring with my shelter friends! I am very excited about the new dog park, because I can have the room to run and play until I find my forever home!
Age: 1.5 years Sex: Female Breed: American Pit BullAbout me: I’m one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs to ever enter the shelter! I love to give hugs and wag my tail. Unfortunately, I was also one of the skinniest to enter the shelter, too. After intensive treatment by my friends at the Valley Animal Center’s clinic and tender love and care from my foster mom, I’m finally back to a normal weight and ready to find my forever home at last!

Have you met dallas and His seeing eye dog, lily?This special pair of dogs came to our shelter together recently from Clovis Animal Services, and have quickly captured our hearts! Lily is a 10 month old female Australian Cattledog mix (the blue merle dog) and Dallas is a 9 month old male Australian Cattledog mix (the white dog). Dallas is almost completely blind, but his wonderful friend Lily acts as his eyes. She shows him around their shared kennel, helps him navigate while on walks together, and even pushes him to their food and water bowls so that he can find them easier!
Dallas is a sweet, loving, active boy who is still very much a puppy, and Lily is a gentle, sweet girl who loves to be petted and give hugs. because of their special bond, these two amazing dogs will need to be adopted together. They will be available for adoption very soon, and will no doubt be a joy to their new adoptive family!
