Bud

Hi… my name is Bud.

Adopted July 31, 2015

If I had to choose one word to introduce myself, it would be playful! I just love to play and I’m real good at it. I spent a week with the person who found me running in The Villages of Green Valley and she described me as friendly, eager to learn and please. It helps that I already know “sit,” “come,” and “no.” With some of my human friends, I’ll hold up my paw to “shake,” and sometimes when you talk to me, my ears perk up to make me just a little handsomer. I get along well with some other dogs, but I am not used to cats. And did I mention that I like to play? I’m an exceptionally friendly, brindle Boxer mix boy.

Hi… my name is Roxy.

Adopted July 18, 2015

Roxy comes with Free Vet Care for Life program.

The nice people who found me in Rancho Sahuarita described me as “friendly and mellow,” something they seemed to really like. Just makes for a good life, right? I liked them, too, including the kids—2, 10 and 13 years old—and other cats and dogs. I’m a beautiful 69-pound Boxer/hound mix lady. I have learned “sit,” “stay,” “out,” know good house manners, how to walk on a leash, ride quietly in a car, and I generally don’t find much to bark about. Oh, and I don’t jump on furniture or people—something else people seem to like. Unfortunately, those nice people had a lease that could not include me. So now I’m hoping you will find me here and take me home to stay. We can be mellow together!

Hi… my name is Star,

Adopted August 4, 2016

Star has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

My brother and I were puppies found in the desert. We stayed with our rescuers for several months, living outside until we moved here, where the volunteers have taught me so much! Now I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and even earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate! I’m a young Boxer/Lab/Staffie mix male, 52 pounds, and my friends call me handsome—in part because of my sleek black coat with the white star on my neck—and a fun companion for walks, playing ball, and belly rubs. (I’ll try to make those belly rubs fun for you, too, okay?) I’m super grateful to those who helped me become the terrific dog I am today, and all I ask from you is a chance to show you how great we could be together.

Hi… my name is Cloud,

Adopted August 4, 2016

Cloud has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

My brother and I were found in the desert when we were just puppies. We stayed with our rescuers for several months, living outside until we moved here, where the volunteers have taught me so much! Now I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and even earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate! I’m a young Boxer/Lab/Staffie mix male, 47 pounds, and my friends call me handsome—thanks to my sleek black coat with snowy white markings—and a fun companion for walks, playing ball, and receiving belly rubs. (I’ll try to make those belly rubs fun for you, too, okay?) I’m super grateful to those who helped me become the terrific dog I am today, and all I ask from you is a chance to show you how great we could be together.

Hi… my name is Isabella.

Adopted December 26, 2015

OK, I know that there are dogs who are perfectly content being “outdoor only” critters, but even after living with my family for 5½ years (all my life), I still wanted to be inside with them! My people (a senior couple) said that I’d recently started getting into mischief out there, so since they had four other outside dogs and couldn’t bring just me in, they felt I needed a place and home to call my own. They said I’m a gentle lady who is very submissive, so I’ll bet with just a bit of explanation on the finer points of indoor living, I’ll be a great companion. I’m a Boxer (my dad) and Australian Cattle Dog (my mom) mix, and I’d love the opportunity to show you just how endearing I can be!

Hi… my name is Bubba.

Adopted July 5, 2015

When I started to hear the dreaded “D” word, I had a feeling my life was going to change. My mom and dad got a divorce, and mom and the kids couldn’t keep me, so I went to live with dad, but I just couldn’t adjust without the security and comfort of my little family, since they really were all I knew and loved in life. That said, given my personality, everyone agrees that once I get into a new active, loving home with lots of attention, all my good qualities will shine through again. My people said I was wonderful with the kids, got along well with my Lab housemate, and was a “great family dog,” so won’t you please give me that one more chance to “just be me”?

Adopted September 27, 2015

BEAUTY is a sweet and friendly brindle and white female Boxer mix that needs a good home. Fosters rescued her recently when renters moved away and Beauty was left behind. They already have a dog so they would like her to be with a family that has more space and time for her. Beauty is a social girl and is good with kids; cats are unknown. She knows sit, down, and shake. She likes to play with toys and going to the dog park to be with other dogs her size. She is estimated to be about 2 1/2-years-old. She is spayed and is in good health. She always uses the doggy door and is leash trained but would probably benefit from use of gentle leader.

There is no adoption fee for Beauty. If you would welcome her into a loving home, please call Marilyn from 8 AM to 8 PM at 520-247-4315.

Hi… my name is Maddie,

Adopted 10/21/17

I’ve known tough times, but I’m a dog who chooses to live in a happy today! Part of my past story (not even the worst part) was spending all day alone in a crate. But then, one lucky day, I moved to my foster home. My foster family gave me gentle reassurance until I got comfortable. They soon discovered I love going for walks, and now we share time in the yard, too, where I sniff and explore, free and relaxed, happy just to be with them. Plus, sometimes I get to have fun playtime with a visiting dog friend. All I need now is a happy ending: A forever home! If you can share the good life with me—a beautiful female Brindle Boxer/Hound mix —please call my friends at TALGV today.

Hi… my name is Cheyenne.

Adopted August 30, 2015

After being rescued six months ago, I lived with a family that included five kids (ranging in age from 12 down to 4), two male dogs, and a bearded dragon! Now that’s an active combination if ever there was one! My people said, “Cheyenne is very gentle with the kids and will make a great walker and lap dog (if you have a big lap!). She is a very well- rounded girl and we all loved the chance to help her. She will make her new family very happy.” Well, now! What more do you need to know (except that I sometimes don’t like female dogs — my only shortcoming apparently). I’m a striking, brindle Lab/Boxer mix who would love the chance to show you just what a fantastic companion I can be!

Hi… my name is Opie.

Adopted April 3, 2015

My foster mom took me in when my family divorced because she’d known me for two years and said I was a “great dog.” During my stay with her, I lived in a large outside “pen” but I still had a fair bit of interaction with everyone. At a local “outing” at the Pecan Festival, I was a big hit with everyone — people, kids, and other dogs — and I had more fun than I’ve had in ages, so I sure would love to do that more often with YOU! I’ve learned basic commands, am very smart, loving, playful, and simply adore going for car rides. If you’re a “Boxer person” you’ll know what my potential for being the perfect companion is, so come meet me and see my attributes for yourself!

PRECIOUS is a beautiful and sweet 2-year-old boxer who was found in the desert with her 5 puppies. New family is unable to keep her, but recommend her to a family since she loves children. She knows sit, come, stay and fetch. She is housebroken but spends her time outside now because of finder’s unwelcoming dog. Her shots are up to date, and she will have a certificate for spay courtesy of TALGV. She seems healthy but needs to add weight because of her puppies (3 of which have already found homes). Precious is leash trained, loves car rides, and would love to share your company and the warmth of your home on these cold winter days and nights. There is no adoption fee for Precious.

If you would welcome Precious into a loving home as part of your family, please call Donna between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-484-3844.
