Ever been the new kid at school who doesn’t know where the lockers are or why everyone else has friends? That was me when I first arrived at TALGV. One minute I was alone in the desert, and the next I was in a big, busy place with walls, people, and routines. I was terrified and needed a few days to realize I was safe. I soon realized everyone here was nice. Volunteers showed up with patience and treats, and a friendly dog “classmate” moved in with me. I started to relax and show my real self—an eager-to-learn Shepherd who loves recess (playtime!). I am a strong walker on leash, and I appear to be housetrained. I’d love a home with another playful dog. I’m a gentle big boy… just hoping for my forever homeroom.
