Hi… my name is Bailey,

Adopted with Marley 1-8-17

Can you picture my sister Marley and me as puppies, running the streets? That’s where we were found about 1-1/2 years ago. Now our rescuer is moving and cannot take us along, so today we’re 3-year-olds, still happy together and looking for home. Although Marley says I’m a little braver, we’re both shy at first, but once we warm up—well, to quote our former person, “They’re very friendly, loving, and well behaved.” She also said we love kids, are good with cats, leash trained, and know “sit,” “stay,” and “no.” We’re females, each about 50 pounds; I’m the brindle and white one, playful and happy, and Marley especially loves to cuddle. We’re devoted sisters who want to stay together, and will bring love and happiness with us. How about we give it all to you?

Hi… my name is Hope,

Adopted 12-9-16

My name says a lot, doesn’t it? Indeed, my finders felt I’d reached my last hope when I showed up at their door in what they described as “very bad shape.” But they also recognized something else in me—a sweetness that was stronger than the tough times I’d obviously been through. So they brought me here, where the volunteers welcomed me with open arms. “A gentle spirit,” they call me, and they’ve seen how I respond wholeheartedly to their loving touches. I think those who need love the most can be the ones who are best at giving love, too, and giving love is another one my strengths. I’m a 3-year-old Boxer female, rust in color, and I expect we’ll see the best in each other every day once you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Sissy,

Adopted 12-3-16

I was rescued from a homeless shelter, and I’m thankful for the happy turn my life has taken. My rescuer kept me at her place for a month, where I lived with 8 other animals—small dogs, cats, and a parrot—and she said I was friendly with them all. I was still learning (she said I’d flinch when objects came toward me), but proved to be leashed trained, smart, and teachable… kind of the perfect dog guest! Now I’m friends with the volunteers here, and they give me high marks for lovability, too. I’m 1-1/2 years old, about 56 pounds; a sweetheart in a brindle coat. If you look in my soft brown eyes and can see the love and loyalty I have to give, won’t you agree we’re made for each other!

Hi… my name is Pi,

Adopted 12-3-16

Pi has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Dogs love human companionship. Trust me, I know! So, when I was found wandering alone and my former owners said they didn’t have time for me anymore, well, we agreed it’s best I find a new home. They said I was gentle and tolerant with children, and the volunteers here will tell you about my other good behavior—on a leash, in the car. Indeed, I performed so well on some behavior tests that I’ve earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate! Does that make me special? Yeah, they say so, but you know what I say would be even better? Earning my place in your heart. I’m a 3-1/2-year-old Boxer/Heeler mix, a handsome brindle male, about 60 pounds, who’d like to be your one and only canine—your well-behaved, loving, faithful companion forever!

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!
