Ralphie

Hi… my name is Ralphie,

Adopted 2-25-18

Please let me show you—up close and personal—why people say that “dog is man and woman’s best friend.” (Cats have their meaningful proverbs, too, but I’ll let them speak for themselves.) I was a stray dog, covered in cactus needles, and that only made me happy to be found. My rescuer said I love people, which leads to the top reason a dog could be your best friend—we love unconditionally. At just 18-months old, I’m active but can be mellow, too, and, as your friend, affectionate when you want me to be. Already good on a leash, I’m a red and white Boxer/Staffie mix male, 58 pounds, who’s eager to learn more good-dog things to please you. And if you say the word, I’ll be the loyal, loving companion you deserve forever.

Robby

Hi… my name is Robby,

Adopted 3-2-18

Robby has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I’m such a happy, always-glad-to-see-you kind of guy that you may be pleasantly surprised by my seriously excellent credentials. For instance, I’ve earned my Canine Good Citizen certificate for an outstanding performance in the behavior department. I know “sit,” “stay,” and “down,” how to behave well at home and in public, and I’m leash trained. Asked to list my strengths, my former owner started with “he minds.” Now, the fun stuff: I play ball, like car rides, and my former family said I was great with kids. They’re moving and couldn’t take me with them, which is disappointing, but friends say my future is bright. I’m a friendly black and white 5-year-old male, currently 53 pounds, and I’m so ready to be somebody’s best buddy forever that all you need to add is love.

Lily

Hi… my name is Lily,

Adopted 7-30-17

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Chance

Hi… my name is Chance,

Adopted 12-3-17

Chance has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Lots of people tell me they like my name because it reminds them of lucky chances and second chances, and I always enjoy the conversation. It’s good to have friends, especially when you need a lucky second chance like I do now. After living happily with my family for years, I had to go when we found out the new baby was allergic to me. Of course, they gladly shared my strong points: Good with their former dog, I’m also housebroken, playful, energetic, and leash-trained, and TALGV volunteers concur. They especially appreciate my friendly nature and how great I am on leash. I’m an 8-year-old male, 62 pounds, and if you like the Boxer look, you’ll probably agree I’m handsome. As for names, that’s up to you. I just want to be called yours.

Caroline

Hi… my name is Caroline,

Adopted 6-27-17

My finder (the woman who very kindly rescued me when I was a stray on the street) said I was good with her kids and her cats! I’m living peacefully with another dog here at TALGV, so you could say I’m an all-around sociable kind of dog who likes all kinds of friends. A nice size at 33 pounds, I’m 18 months old, alert, playful, and good on a leash. Plus, being affectionate comes naturally to me. Oh, I don’t overdo it—I just like to be by your side and know that we can feel free to cuddle if the mood strikes. (I’m pretty much always available for back rubs, ear scratches and the like.) I’ll do my best to make you smile every day if you let me be your dog forever.

Sherlock

Hi… my name is Sherlock,

Adopted with Bubbles 6-29-17

Our family moved far, far away—overseas—so both Bubbles, my Terrier buddy, and I need a new home. We’re different sizes—I’m 92 pounds, she’s 23—but have gotten along with each other and were both gentle and tolerant with kids ages 4 and 6. I’m a 4-year-old Boxer male, calm and patient; I loved those kids and their parents, too. Plus, I’m okay with cats! My family described me as “an amazing dog, the sweetest Boxer you’ll ever meet.” As for specific good qualities, I’m leash-trained, crate-trained, and housebroken; a well-behaved companion at home, on walks and car rides. My former people said anyone would be lucky to have me. I say I’ll be lucky to find a wonderful someone who’ll love me forever. And now I’m wondering, could it be you?

Jax

Hi… my name is Jax,

Adopted 7-29-17

Recently I spent a week with people who loved me but couldn’t keep me. The family included a teenager, a St. Bernard, and two cats. I got along with all of them—dog, cats, and people—so I could fit into any one of many different households. Those friends also said I know lots of commands, come when called, am housebroken and leash trained. Now, those are my official qualifications and they’re important, but I’m hoping you see lots more in me—the loving, playful guy who could quickly become your loyal, lifelong companion. I’m a sweet 8-month-old Shepherd/Boxer mix male, tan and white (including “white socks” paws), and I’d love to meet you up close and personal. If you’re the one who could love me forever—believe me, the feeling will be mutual!

Butkus

Hi… my name is Butkus,

Adopted 6-14-17

When I was lost, wandering on my own, the street looked like a great big sidewalk to me. That’s where I was found—in the very dangerous middle of a road. (Due to the emergency situation, I arrived at TALGV wearing a pair of pajama trousers as a leash—that was apparently a first.) Today, I know how good it feels to be safe. Come visit and you’ll find me easy-going, well mannered, and interested in the world around me. The volunteers like to take me on walks and when asked to describe me, they almost all use the same word first: Sweet. “He’s such a sweet guy,” they say. I’m an 8-year-old, 55-pound Boxer male, grateful to be safe but dreaming of being loved. Could I be the wonderful companion you’re looking for?

Dudley

Hi… my name is Dudley,

Adopted with Jacob 6-17-17

My former family and I loved each other very much, but when one of the children developed an allergy to me, we had to part. We were all sad, but today I’m a great dog thanks in part to my great start with them. When I was a puppy, they taught me commands including sit, down, stay, leave it and shake. They also found I have Valley Fever, and started my treatment. Due to my naturally good disposition, I was gentle and tolerant with the children (ages 1 to 16), got along very well with the other dogs and ignored the cat. Housebroken, leash-trained and friendly, I’m an 8-month-old tan and white 63-pound male who’ll be a great companion for a family, a couple, or one loving person. Please let it be with you!

Happy

Hi… my name is Happy,

Adopted 8-9-17

I was an easy dog to name because—as you’ll see if you visit me—I’m a happy dog. Oh sure, I’ve known some sadness. I was a stray when my finder spotted me on the road by his parents’ house. He said he rescued me so I wouldn’t get hit, and I say bless him for that! While waiting to come here, he kept me for 1-1/2 weeks and during that time, he said, I was gentle and tolerant with kids (ages 13 and 15) and okay with other dogs. I’m a brindle and white female, about 2-1/2-years-old, and such a friendly dog that you’ll probably see my happy smile. Of course, you can change my name if you want—I’ll be happy with whatever you choose as long as I’m called yours!

Luke

Hi… my name is Luke,

Adopted 4-9-17

I was found near a railroad track, a lost dog who’s apparently known tough times in the past because my smooth brown coat bears some scars. Am I still a handsome guy? Absolutely yes, say my dear friends. Moreover, they say my good looks are from my true nature shining through because I’m a remarkably sweet, gentle, and very loving dog. My finder kept me for ten days and said I was gentle with their teenager and got along with their other dogs. Here at TALGV, I’m delighted when people visit me and when we go for walks, I’m great on the leash. A 6-1/2-year-old Boxer mix male, medium size at 49 pounds, I’m confident the best times of my life are right up ahead, especially if I get to share them with you!
