Microchips save lives and reunite pets with their owners! Please get your furry family members microchipped and keep your contact info current. Your best friend is depending on you!

“Microchips are a waste of time.”

Not for Koda. Koda's owner lost his brother 3 years ago. During the chaos of that tragedy, Koda ran away from home. For many dogs, that's normally the last time we hear about them.

Last week, someone found Koda on the street and brought him in, a miraculous 3 years later. Thanks to a microchip, we were able to contact the owner, who came right away to come pick him up.

Koda recognized him instantly. His eyes lit up, his tail started wagging, and he started rearing up on his back legs, anxious to get to his owner as fast as possible.

Some people think their pet would never run away from home. But the truth is that anything can happen. Sometimes you're in a rush to leave and forget to close a gate. Doors can be left cracked open. But a microchip may be the key to saving you a world of heartbreak.

We offer microchipping services for dogs for just $25, no appointment necessary. Find our locations and hours at Maricopa.gov/Pets.

Meet Nebo!

Nebo is a sweet, playful young boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves people, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is always ready for fun, cuddles, or a tasty treat! He hasn’t met any cats yet, so his feline compatibility is still unknown.

Born into Valley Dogs Rescue on March 6, 2026, to his Rottweiler mom, Nebo has been a little fighter from the very beginning. He was bottle-fed starting at just two days old after his mom was unable to care for the litter. As a tiny puppy, Nebo suffered an injury that left him with droopy eyes, but it doesn’t affect his health, happiness, or playful spirit one bit. In fact, it only adds to his unique charm and makes him even more special.

Nebo is a smart puppy who is eager to learn and highly food-motivated, making training both fun and rewarding. He already knows “sit,” is making great progress with “stay,” and is excited to continue learning with his forever family.

He is dog-door trained and kennel trained, sleeping comfortably in his kennel at night and relaxing calmly while his family is away. Nebo loves playing with his foster siblings and has a wonderful ability to adjust his play style to match the dogs around him. Whether it’s energetic wrestling with playful pups or gentle interactions with more sensitive companions, he knows how to fit right in. He does well with both large and small dogs.

This happy, active boy would thrive in a family that will continue his training, provide plenty of exercise, and include him in everyday adventures. He is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home.

To help make his transition easy, Nebo will go home with a collar, leash, harness, bowls, bedding, and toys. His foster mom is also happy to lend a kennel for the first two weeks if needed.

If you're looking for a resilient, loving, intelligent, and playful companion who will fill your days with joy, laughter, and unconditional love, Nebo may be the perfect addition to your family! ❤️🐾
