Adoption Fee $300
A little bit about me...
Ahoy, I'm the great Captain Hook otherwise known as Killian. I'm a rowdy pup looking for a good time with a new family. My siblings and I came to the shelter after we were found on the side of the road. We have had so much fun at Sun Valley making lots of new furry friends of all ages and sizes and have grown into pretty awesome young pups. I will be a big boy by evidence of my supersized paws, so expect me to get a lot bigger and stronger. Since I am a young pup, I will require all potty training and obedience training to become a well-mannered dog, so you would be getting a blank slate eager to soak up all that you will teach me. May ye anchor be ever tight, and may we see you soon.
The highlights...
I am very energetic and clumsy.
I'm a rambunctious puppy, so all training will be needed I need routine and structure to be successful.
I like playing with friendly dogs
My ideal home would include...
A family that has time, patience, and a plan for potty training. Any dog that's introduced to a new environment is bound to have accidents, whether they're an adult dog or a puppy. I will need my humans to have a plan for potty training and show me where and when I'm expected to go potty.

I am young and still trying to figure out where I belong in the world, and I need help from my human companions to guide me in the right direction. I am a smart dog that is capable of learning so much on top of what I've already learned during my stay at the shelter already.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Please be advised we only adopt to AZ residents. We make a commitment to all of our animals. So while we appreciate your interest, we ask that you be a local resident to adopt. We do not always know the full background of each animal and sometimes personalities are not fully shown until a few days in the home. If for whatever reason you cannot keep the animal, we appreciate the animal being returned to our facility. It is costly and time consuming to return an animal from out of state. Please check your local animal shelter to find a forever friend near your area.
We do have adoption fees that are reflective to our adoptable cats and dogs. They will slightly vary depending on the cat or dog. However most of the adoptable pets have the same adoptable fee. We ask that any prospective adopter to come to our location and complete an adoption application. This will be reviewed by a qualified adoption counselor who will sit and visit to interview the adopter on what they are looking for to place the adoptable pet in a forever home. Once approved for adoption, there is paperwork to complete and the adoptable cat or dog will be able to go home that day

More about this shelter

Sun Valley Animal Shelter, Inc., is an Arizona nonprofit corporation with 501(c)3 status which operates a No-Kill shelter in Glendale, Arizona, generally serving the western portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The organization was founded in 1991 by a group of Sun City area residents as a foster-based program to provide adoption opportunities for homeless and abandoned dogs and cats. The current facility was built in 1995 and can house 100+ dogs and 100+ cats. The organization receives no government funding and is supported by income from our thrift store profits, adoption fees, membership dues, donations and bequests. We recently received a grant to assist in the construction of a new medical/surgical center at the facility.

The animals taken into our care are housed in a clean, secure environment and are spayed/neutered, microchipped, given all necessary shots and a physical exam. Dedicated volunteers are invaluable in assisting with the daily care and nurturing of our dogs and cats prior to finding a loving home. We are proud to note that in the last several years we have increased adoptions from approximately 300 animals per year to over 1000 animals per year.
