Queenie Sue

Hi… my name is Queenie Sue,

Adopted 9-16-17

Queenie Sue has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Running free can be glorious if you’re safe—like when you’re at home or out running with your person. But I was found running loose and not safe at all because I was near a highway, without a collar or tag, and without a friend until a gentleman stopped, picked me up and brought me here. People say I’m stunningly beautiful—a blonde and white Husky mix female with a good-looking physique at 61 pounds—and those kind words are sweet, but I’m way more interested in how we feel about each other. Come visit and you’ll see that I’m looking for a friend. I’m 4 years old and still energetic, so we could exercise and then relax together the way old buddies do. How about it? Could we be friends for life?

Calvin

Hi… my name is Calvin,

Adopted 7-26-17

Calvin has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When I was found in a grocery store parking lot, folks weren’t sure what to call me. So a DNA test was done, which showed I’m part Bullmastiff, Chow Chow, Staffordshire Terrier, Samoyed, and other mixed breeds. TALGV volunteers say I’m also part angel because I’m a loving, good sport, who walks well on a leash, likes to play, cuddle, just hang out with good people, or do whatever you ask (especially if you have cheese or a hotdog to share). To demonstrate my good manners, I earned the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen certificate, the gold standard for behavior programs; my vocabulary includes words like sit, down, stay, and more. I’m an easygoing, handsome (one blue eye, one brown), 3-year-old male, 72 pounds, ready to be someone’s loyal best buddy. Are you ready, too?

Jude

Hi… my name is Jude,

Adopted October 12, 2016

Before becoming a TALGV dog, I was a stray, taken care of at a truck yard. It wasn’t a home, but at least I had human contact there; although careful about human friends, I like people in general and back at the truck yard enjoyed greeting everyone who came to work. One special friend (who already has five dogs) appreciated my good dog manners, said I had “the sweetest disposition,” and brought dogs to visit me. How I loved playing with those dogs! Then I was brought here, so life has continued to get better for me. I’m a 2-year-old male with a beautiful tan, black and rust coat, about 55 pounds, who dares to dream that the best is yet to come—a home with a person to love. Could that be you?

Honey

Hi… my name is Honey,

Adopted April 10, 2016

Our people had good things to say about my Rottie friend Nemo and me, but they had to keep us tied up and knew that wasn’t good for us. (They’re raising farm animals and had to keep us away from the chickens and turkeys.) We were both “found” dogs, so we’re grateful for the years they took care of us and appreciate their good reports, like when they said I’m loving to people, gentle and tolerant with children. I’m leash trained, so walks are excellent exercise, and I love kids. Honestly, I’m happy to have fun with any good person who’ll play with me! I’m a 9-year-old red Chow mix, a beautiful female who knows what wonderful friends people can be. Visit me today, and let’s see if we can be happy together forever!

Piper

Hi… my name is Piper.

Adopted September 19, 2015

In the distant past, I had to resort to begging hot dogs at a convenience store. Then I was adopted and that went well for a few years, until some other dogs came on the scene and we didn’t get along. Now I’m here again and I don’t mind telling you I have my hopes up for a truly forever home. I’m a 5-1/2-year-old Chow/Shepherd mix with a luxurious tan coat, you might call golden, and my triangle-shaped ears are adorable, don’t you think? I’m leash trained and well behaved off leash, too. Belly rubs and toys are among my favorite things, but my most favorite thing in the world would be a home where I’ll be loved forever. Imagine how I’ll love you back if that can be with you!

Paco

Hi… my name is Paco.

Adopted August 15, 2015

When my people moved and couldn’t take me with them, I was pretty disappointed. But now things are looking up! I’ve made lots of new friends here at the Animal League; it’s fun spending time with people I like. I was shy at first, but now they say I’m more like a real-live teddy bear—loveable, can be good company, and very cute in my beautiful red blend coat. I’m a little over 1-year-old and didn’t have much human attention before coming here, so I do need some help in learning good doggie behavior. I’ve already learned how to walk on a leash. I’m a male, Chow/Shepherd mix, and hoping for a new friend who can help me reach by best doggie potential.

Buddy Bear

Hi… my name is Buddy Bear.

I was adopted on August 27, 2014.

Luna

Hi… my name is Luna.

I was adopted on August 20, 2014.

My mom said, “Luna is a great dog. She’s been there for us during good times and bad. She loves our cats and kids and we are all going to miss her so much.” Sadly, my family lost their home and had to move in with relatives. Since they had a big female dog who didn’t appreciate my presence one bit, my people reluctantly had to relinquish me. I’m a beautiful shepherd/Chow mix girl, am leash trained, know “sit” and “shake,” love to play with ropes and balls, and am a superb “family caretaker” (I’ll be sure to let you know when a stranger is near!). I’m a bit at sixes and sevens at the moment, but I know once I’m in a new, settled home, I’ll be my old “take care of everybody” self!

Lacey

Hi… my name is Lacey.

Adopted October 8, 2014.

My family made a commitment to move to Colorado, and since they didn’t yet have a place to live, my “boyfriend,” Weezy, and I couldn’t go along. Mom said I’m a super happy lady who loves to go for walks, know a few basic commands (sit, shake, and slow), and am very tolerant of kids of all ages. She said I’m not fond of strange dogs (although I got along with Weezy just fine), and am very protective of my person and home. I’m a golden Chow/Retriever mix, and if you’d like a settled companion (who also comes with TALGV’s Free Vet Care for Life!), I’d be a perfect fit.

Dolly

Hi… my name is Dolly.

Adopted November 23, 2014.

I arrived with my sister, Polly, in 2007 after we’d been found abandoned. It wasn’t long before we went to live with our mom and life was glorious until she died unexpectedly. A neighbor took us in, but when our relationship with her dogs declined, we came back one more time. Polly has found a home of her own, so now it’s just me, dreaming of a family that will bring joy to my life, too. I’m approximately 8½ years old (so I come with TALGV’s “Free Vet Care for Live Program”), am perfectly trained and as is characteristic of my breed, I’ll be the most loyal and protective of companions. I’m a black, 55-pound, Chow mix and have great expectations that I’ll be able to brighten someone else’s life for the holidays.

Dolly comes with TALGV’s FREE “Vet Care for Life” Program.

Harley

Hi… my name is Harley.

I was adopted June 14, 2014.

You know siblings don’t always get along (I guess sometimes the human ones don’t either!), and that’s why I ended back at TALGV where I started out. My family adopted my brother and me together when we were puppies, figuring we’d be great pals. Sadly, as we aged, dominant personalities emerged in us both so life was not exactly serene for the family. I love people though, am a great watchdog, and have had obedience and crate training, so I really am a pretty well behaved guy when my brother isn’t around. I don’t do well with little kids (they are a bit too “grabby” sometimes), and I am definitely not a “water dog” (swimming pools and all that running around make me a bit jumpy), but with a calm (but active) family, I’ll be a model companion. Why not give me the chance to prove myself?

Dawn

Hi… my name is Dawn.

My pal, Dusk, and I were abandoned in early February so my origin is a mystery, but now that I’m here the volunteers are discovering more about my personality every day. I’m still a little shy (I had to board at a local kennel for a while, so didn’t get a lot of one-on-one time), but I’m basically a friendly gal who walks “pretty well” on a leash (the more often I go out, the better I get!), and I really like people a lot when I get to know them. I’m a fluffy, mahogany-colored, Retriever/Chow mix girl, and I’m sure if I had a nice big yard and kids (or another dog pal) to play with, I’d become the loving companion I was meant to be. If you’d give me a chance, I’d be forever grateful.
