Hi… my name is Daisy,

Adopted August 27, 2016

The place I came from didn’t have electricity or running water, so the first thing I noticed at TALGV was the comfort of air conditioning. Before long, I received something called a bath—the raining indoors thing was weird, but ended up making me feel really good. Since then, I’ve received lots of compliments on my soft brindle coat and I love the attention. Please know that even when I’m feeling shy, your affection is always welcome! Knowing that someone cares makes every day better; it helps with my training as I learn things that good dogs know, and just makes me happy.   I’m a sweet Boxer/Hound mix female, about 48 pounds and 4 years old, and if you could find it in your heart to take me home, I’ll love you back forever!

Hi… my name is Marcus,

Adopted September 30, 2016

I was out for my morning jog when a woman ran up to me… Okay, I’m kidding. My rescuer was the one jogging, and I ran up to her because I was lost. Fortunately, she liked me right away and agreed to help me out. She took me home for a week, where I enjoyed spending time with her three children and four dogs. After no one claimed me, she brought me here, telling volunteers that I know the commands “sit” and “stay,” and like to play soccer and baseball! I’m also leash trained, so we can have all kinds of fun together—hiking, sports, or just hanging out. I’m an active young Boxer mix male who’d make a great addition to lots of households and has a heart full of love to give.

Hi… my name is Pasha,

Adopted 11-27-16

I was found in a dangerous position—walking down the middle of Sahuarita Road! (The pecan fields can be tempting if you’re hungry.) After rescuing me from that peril, my finder let me spend two weeks with him, but he couldn’t keep me forever, so I’m still looking for my special someone. I’m a 2-year-old Boxer mix, a nice medium size female with a beautiful brindle and white coat. My finder said I used their doggy door, would get down when told to, and got along well with other dogs. I’d say my best feature is my super sweet nature, but please don’t take my word for it! Tell my TALGV friends you’d like to meet me and let me show you up close and personal what a great dog I’ll be for you.

Hi… my name is Cecil,

Adopted September 2, 2016

Ordinary things mean a lot. Like regular meals. I get nutritious food every day at TALGV, but before coming here, I was a stray for months, always hungry. Maybe that’s why I was found at Circle K, waiting for someone to drop something edible. Exercise is great, too—getting to share time with a volunteer on a walk. The best part is when they talk to me; I love being somebody’s friend. And, of course, shelter is important. I know what it is to be outside when it rains, or gets dark and scary. I’m a young Boxer male, who appreciates that it’s all good here, but one thing is missing. I want to belong to someone, to have a home and be loved. That’s my dream, and maybe you’ll make it come true!

Hi… my name is Fred,

Adopted May 18, 2016

I was found with my mom and sister at a busy place here in Green Valley. Were we lost or left behind? I don’t know; I’m just grateful we’re okay! Sorry to say, Mom ran away before we were rescued, but she must have taken good care of us because my sister and I look great. We’re each ready to start a new life as someone’s adorable pup! I’m a Boxer mix male, 15 pounds and growing, tan and white, and cute as can be. When I look at you and my little brow wrinkles, I’m asking, “Are you my person? Will you take care of me and teach me what I need to know?” If your answer is yes, I’ll do my best to make you proud and be your best Boxer companion ever!

Hi… my name is Toby Boy,

Adopted May 7, 2016

After I went on an unscheduled jaunt away from home (sometimes called an “escape”), my people decided I should find a new place to live—especially because they want to raise rabbits, and I was not good with that. I do have lots of great qualities—I’m leash trained, know “sit,” love to go on car rides, and thoroughly enjoy just being with my person. Your attention means the world to me, so I can be your good dog and also your fun guy because I’m playful, bright and brave. I’m a very handsome (so they tell me) in my soft brown and tan coat with white markings, I’m a 3-year-old Boxer mix male, about 63 pounds, who’s dreaming of another trip—this time to a place called home with a wonderful someone like you!

Hi… my name is Lexi,

Adopted April 10, 2016

I loved the quiet, peaceful life I shared with my owner. Thanks to her kindness, I put a history of abuse behind me. But on a very sad day, I lost her. After my owner’s death, I lived with her daughter’s family, including 6 children, 4 dogs, 2 goats, a pig, a mule, and 5 caged rabbits. Honestly, I was overwhelmed. We’ve all agreed I should find a more calm and stable home, one where a mild-mannered, gentle soul like me fits in naturally. I’m a 5-year-old female, a beautiful brindle Boxer/Greyhound mix, about 57 pounds, who walks nicely on leash and knows “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and how to give kisses. My favorite things include playing in water and cuddling. Please say today we’ll start sharing the good life—contented, loving, and together forever.

Hi… my name is Mario,

Adopted April 23, 2016

The AKC describes Boxers as “fun-loving, bright, active and loyal.” If you come for a visit, I’ll try to show you I’m all those good things and more! I’m a handsome 9-month-old Boxer male, just shy of 70 pounds, with a short, fawn-colored coat. I was given to my previous owner by a coworker, but then he found out he can’t have dogs where he lives. The good news is that there are lots of people who love Boxers or would love one given the chance. Of course, I’m hoping to meet someone who wants me especially and will welcome me with open arms. I’m a playful, happy guy who’s eager and quick to learn, and will bring a lot of Boxer fun to your life. I say the sooner we meet, the better!

Hi… my name is Tiger,

Adopted 11-21-17

Tiger has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate!

When my previous owner and I parted due to her health concerns, we’d been good friends for 6 years. I think that’s just my nature because being a loyal, devoted companion is what I do best. Oh, you could say I’m “handsome” thanks to my distinctive brindle coat and healthy physique (57 pounds). Also, “single-and-loving-it;” I really prefer to be your only canine. And definitely “well-trained”—I walk beautifully on a leash, and have earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate for my outstanding performance on behavior tests! But the best word for me is friend. I’m up for exercise and play, and for quiet times, too. I’ll be thrilled when you’re happy and understand when you’re sad because that’s what true-blue friends do, and that’s what you’ll get when you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Garfunkel,

Adopted March 13, 2016

I was very happy with my family and got along great with the young kids, a teenager, and a young Spaniel, but had trouble with the senior Shepherd. We just couldn’t stay together, so I had to go, which broke my heart. But the TALGV volunteers assure me I have a bright future, thanks to all my great qualities. I’m friendly and fun-loving, leash trained and energetic, and could be a super buddy for someone active. I have a sweet side, too, and love gentle touches from my human friends. A young guy, 50 pounds, I’m a handsome Boxer/Dalmatian mix, white with some black spots. Already I know “sit” and “shake,” and am eager to learn more. Please come for a visit and let me show you what a great companion I will be.

Hi… my name is Allie,

Adopted March 2, 2016

My brother, Argo, and I were found wandering together, starving, each with evidence of having been hit with pellets. Imagine how grateful we were to the woman who took us in, and how happy she was to discover that despite our past troubles, we are both great dogs. With 7 animals already, she couldn’t keep us, and so our journey brought us to TALGV. I’m a 2-year-old Boxer mix female, black and tan, about 44 pounds. I’m timid, I think you can understand why, but also very friendly in my own way. Since I’m eager to be your friend, you could have fun teaching me what I need to know to be even better. Please let me show you how good it could be to have me in your safe and loving home.
