Corky

Hi… my name is Corky,

Adopted 2-24-20

Comes with Vet Care Support for Life

I might be shy when we first meet, but don’t doubt my sweet and gentle personality. I had a rough beginning in life, but after I met my mom (who moved to an assisted living facility), she transformed me into a real “mama’s girl,” and all the love she showered on me made the bad memories disappear. At almost 11 years old (and with vet support for life), I’m “well aged” like fine wine, and looking forward to my golden years. I’m not fond of car rides, but I’m great on a leash, love long walks (they’ll help me shed a few pounds, too!), so won’t you be the second mom I fall in love with?

Chloe

Hi… my name is Chloe.

I was adopted on April 12, 2014.

After my senior mom’s husband died, her kids kindheartedly gave me to her for company. I began life with her as a fairly small puppy, but, as these things go, I quickly developed into an 18-month-old, high-spirited teenager, got a lot bigger (well only 30 pounds!), and became “too much” for her. She taught me lots of commands though, and being an Australian cattle dog, it took no time at all to learn them, so for you people out there who think my breed is just the best there is (I certainly think so!), I promise that I’m going to be the dog of your dreams. I love people, am GREAT with kids, well behaved, and am a happy-go-lucky gal who wants to share all the joie de vivre I have with you!

Lila

Hi… my name is Lila.

I was adopted May 19, 2014.

My “probably” sister, Leala, and I glommed on to a house in Sahuarita Heights at the end of September, and after the owner fed us for a few weeks and no one showed up looking for us, he brought us here to TALGV. He might have kept us forever, but he already had two other dogs (along with horses, which we never bothered!), so he figured he had a full complement of “dependents.” I’m a lovely young 50 pound Australian heeler mix girl. The volunteers said that I walk “pretty well” on a leash, am friendly with people, seem okay with other dogs (I’ve really bonded with Leala, so it would be great if we could go to a home together!), and am a very sociable girl. I’m “double-dog sure” that with just a bit of education I’ll be a grand addition to your life!

Rusty

Hi… my name is Rusty.

Adopted December 3, 2014.

When I was a barely-weaned puppy, a wonderful family took me in after I was found discarded in a box. I would be with them still, but their neighbors had outdoor cats, and not being a great feline fan, I barked at them a lot, so the HOA asked to have me removed (I guess keeping the cats inside wasn’t an option!). I’m an Australian Cattle Dog and have been at TALGV about two years now looking for my dream home. The volunteers say that once I get to know you I’m a genuinely affectionate guy who loves to play fetch with my Kong (I’m ecstatic when you throw it and will even jump up to catch it before it hits the ground!) and other toys. Like all cattle dogs, I’m eager to please and to learn, so won’t you give me the chance to prove what a wonderful addition I can be to your life?
