Winston

Hi… my name is Winston,

Adopted 6-23-25

While I don’t wish to dwell on scandal, I was, rather unceremoniously, found behind a Walmart. Why I was there is a mystery, even to me. I hadn’t planned on shopping, I lacked both a list and a wallet, and truly, where would I even put a wallet? At a distinguished 8 years of age, I am a proper Heeler mix with impeccable leash manners and a gentle soul. Walks? Divine. Conversation? Delightful. Recently, I’ve completed the procedure that renders one a “responsible canine,” and the volunteers say I’m quite ready to mingle in Play Group—how festive! I enjoy the simple pleasures: companionship, a good breeze, and a quiet spot to observe the world. If you’re seeking a dignified gent with charm and a touch of mystery, I daresay we might be a perfect match.

Dolly

Hi… my name is Dolly,

For seven years, it was just me and my dad, and I loved him deeply. When I lost him, my world felt very scary, but I’m learning, thanks to my foster home, that safe, quiet homes exist again. I’m a sensitive girl whose confidence grows a little more each day. I love lying beside my people on the couch (please don’t move too much), sleeping on the bed, and inching closer as the night goes on. I prefer to choose when I’m touched, but I’m learning that gentle hands can be kind. Walks are short but improving, and sometimes I even prance with my tail held high. I enjoy routine, slow meals, and silly games at treat time. I’m housebroken, leash-trained, and worth the patience it takes to earn my trust.

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Alex

Hi… my name is Alex,

I’m feeling pretty lost right now. My family had to move and couldn’t take me, so I’m here—heartbroken, confused, and waiting for a second chance. I’m a big boy at 76 pounds, but I walk gently on leash and just want someone to help me feel safe again. I’m shy with new people, but if you sit quietly and speak softly, you’ll see it in my eyes: “I want to trust you—I’m just scared.” I don’t like being shut in my kennel, and I probably lived mostly outside before coming to TALGV. But deep down, I dream of being part of a real family—inside and loved, forever. Could you help me believe in “happily ever after” and show me what it means to be someone’s Prince? I’ve already got the handsome part handled.

Aries

Hi… my name is Aries,

ARIES IS CONSIDERED A LARGE DOG AND COMES WITH VET CARE SUPPORT FOR LIFE.

I’m baffled and bewildered! I got returned like an Amazon package, although I’m the TOTAL package: I come with Vet Care Support for Life, I’m house-trained, leash-savvy, know my manners (“sit,” “lay,” “heel”), and I’m happy to alert you when nature calls. I don’t do chicken or grain, but I’m not picky—just a little allergy-prone. Now here are my non-negotiable “pawlicies”: 1. I’m strong on a leash if we encounter other animals. My adopter needs to know how to redirect me. 2. There can be no other animals in the home. Nope. Nothing furry, feathered or otherwise. Just humans. I love people. I’ll be your shadow, your fan club, your couch buddy for life. All I ask is to be your one and only. I’ll give you 100% of my heart—no sharing required. Sound good?

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Poppy

Hi… my name is Poppy,

Adopted 3-23-25

Here’s the first thing I learned at The Animal League: Puppies need love. When my siblings and I arrived as six little pups without a home, TALGV volunteers made us feel loved right away by giving us food, water, and a cozy, safe place to be. We received careful, individual attention, and soon had our own collars, toys to share, and lots of volunteers for friends. These days, we’re learning things good dogs know in fun, one-on-one times volunteers call “training.” Plus, we’re becoming explorers, going for walks outside on our own leashes with a TALGV person for each of us. I’m Poppy, one of the girls, with a black and tan coat, deep brown eyes, and this big promise: If you choose to take me home, I’m ready to love you back forever.

Tulip

Hi… my name is Tulip,

Adopted 3-23-25

My siblings and I arrived here as very young puppies in desperate need of a safe place to be. Our mom was adopted after our person died, but no one wanted us. Until we came here. The TALGV volunteers became our best friends, giving us food, water, cozy sleep spots, and lots of caring attention. We’ve had fun playing puppy games, learning to go on walks, and even participating in “training,” a treat-earning activity that people seem to think is important. And now, we’re told, the best is yet to come. It’s called adoption, which happens when someone wonderful chooses you to love. I’m Tulip, a female puppy whose coat is black and tan with a touch of white, who’s eager to play, learn and love you back forever. Will you please choose me?

Pansy

Hi… my name is Pansy,

Adopted 3-22-25

My siblings and I are so busy these days—growing and learning—that I don’t even think about that time when we were scared little puppies in a box. Our person had died, our mom was adopted, and no one wanted us. But then we met the TALGV volunteers! They gave us food, water, cozy sleep spots, and lots of caring attention. And now, each of us is growing, having fun, and learning good-dog lessons every day. I’m Pansy, a black and tan female, and I’m enjoying training time. Yes, it takes lots of patience from the person who’s teaching me, but I say just being together makes it a happy time. And when will I have my best day ever? When someone wonderful like you chooses me to love, and we go home together!

Bud

Hi… my name is Bud,

Adopted 3-12-25

When we arrived at TALGV, my sisters and I huddled together in a corner of our run, with me in front. I’m Bud, and although I was called “the brave boy,” all of us were scared. Our person had died, then our mom was adopted, and no one wanted us. But we quickly realized that TALGV was full of our new best friends! On top of the essentials—food, water, shelter—TALGV volunteers gave us lots of caring attention. And now they’re teaching us important good-dog lessons. I’ve also made friends with a bigger, more grown-up dog, and the two of us can play for hours! One day he explained that adoption is when someone chooses you to love. Sounds like the best thing ever to me. Could you and I choose each other?
