Lola

Hi… my name is Lola.

Adopted October 8, 2014.

It’s true what they say — blondes really DO have more fun! And that’s what you’ll have when you take me home! An older couple adopted me as an 8-week-old puppy, but as those things go, I got to be a bit too much for them to handle — especially since my dad had some health problems. I lived with an older dog and two cats, and we all got along fine, so I’m sure I’d love to have another doggie friend to romp with. I’m a small young heeler mix and all I need to make my life complete is someone who has just a few months of consistent training to turn me into “Patty Perfect.” I know I’ve got the smarts if you have the time!

Sammi

Hi… my name is Sammi.

Adopted October 23, 2014.

The first thing that you might notice when you meet me is an urge for some butterscotch/vanilla swirl ice cream! The second will be how outgoing, happy, and dynamic I am! My mom adopted me when I was 8 weeks old, but she didn’t have enough time to devote to my energetic lifestyle. Here’s what she said: “Sammi is highly intelligent, high energy, high drive, affectionate, and a quick learner. She needs an ACTIVE family! She’s perfectly house- and crate-trained, knows heel, come, sit, stay, wait, quiet, off, give, and bring it (she’s still working on “leave it” and “down”). She responds to firm, consistent, and loving leadership and would enjoy a active life running and hiking with her person.” If that sounds like you, let’s chat!

Crystal

Hi… my name is Crystal.

Adopted December 2, 2014.

I can tell you I am one happy camper to be here! A kindhearted woman found me in Elephant Head eating plastic and cardboard. It was obvious that I’d recently had puppies, and since I had severe bite marks they assumed I gotten them defending them from predators (sadly my babies were nowhere to be seen). I was so exhausted when I arrived, that I slept for two days! Well, my wounds have been treated and I’m on my way to healing, so I can rest easy now knowing that the volunteers will make sure I find a family that can shower me with affection to help me forget my ordeal. I’m a sweet hound/heeler mix, and I sure am looking forward to my new lease on life!

Winkie

Hi… my name is Winkie.

Adopted November 9, 2014.

I’m sure you can guess how I got my name! A gentleman dropping off his trash found me “dumpster diving” and, smarty-pants that I am, I followed him home. I had a badly infected eye, so the vet removed it and gave me medicine to clear up some health problems (dumpster food isn’t the most nutritious in the world!). My foster mom says that I’m “getting the gist” of potty training, am “eating like a pig,” and having a blast playing with her other dogs and kids. I adore attention, being cuddled, sleeping with the kids, and am learning leash manners. I’m a sweet Lab mix girl about 3 months old and “all puppy,” so my dreams are filled with thoughts of having my own family, a yard, and maybe another canine playmate to share life’s joys.

Arrived September 7, 2014.

Pinta

Hi… my name is Pinta.

Adopted February 27, 2015

It’s been an exciting few months for me I can tell you! When I first arrived at TALGV I was frightened, hungry, and had several wounds that needed tending, so I’ve spent my time recovering from all that distress. Well, now I’m happy to say I’ve been living with a foster family for a while, and they say that although I’m still a bit shy, I’m very friendly, love affection (and attention!), and love playing with their two dogs. They think that I’ve probably lived in a home once, as I’m totally housebroken and take a shot at the sofa once in a while (didn’t work, but I got a cushy dog bed instead!). I’m a svelte young heeler/shepherd mix who yearns for a settled home where I can feel secure. Pinta passed her American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification test with flying colors on February 16, 2015. Many thanks to her foster parent for assisting with this important training.

Cinnamon

Hi… my name is Cinnamon.

Adopted September 27, 2014.

Arrived August 23, 2014.

Cuca

Hi… my name is Cuca.

I was adopted August 16, 2014.

It seems like everyone is moving these days! There must be a dozen denizens here that got left behind when their families moved on — and we’re all a bit dazed by the abrupt change in our lives. I lived with my people most of my life, and they said that I’m gentle and tolerant of kids and other animals, am well behaved on leash, have perfect house manners, am not afraid of thunderstorms, and love to play catch. So with those credentials, you’ll know a good thing when you meet me! I’m an unusual liver-colored, heeler mix girl with a delightful “Zorro-like” mask, and although you might not know it yet, once we get together you’ll find that I’m going to be an essential addition to your life!

Ginger

Hi… my name is Ginger.

Adopted October 6, 2014.

You’ve got to give my rescuers credit — they found me lying in a ditch six months ago when I was all banged up, VERY thin, and afraid of everything. During the ensuing months, I’ve been patched (and fattened) up, gotten to know and enjoy their cat, dog, and kids, and now I love everyone! Just goes to show you what a little patience, love, and TLC will do! I know quite a few commands, love to play ball, fetch, and spend lots of time outside and to follow everyone around when they’re doing their chores. I’m a sweet, medium-sized, red heeler mix lady, and since my people just couldn’t keep me forever, I’m now hoping I can find another active family that will make my life complete.

Teddy

Hi… my name is Teddy.

I was adopted August 2, 2014.

So you’re looking for a puppy, but maybe one that’s a bit more mature than those balls of fluff everyone falls for? Well, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a charming 5-month-old black Lab (and maybe heeler) mix boy, who was found way out on El Toro Road and have that typical “on the way to growing up” personality. I’m very comfortable with the other dogs I’ve been “matched” with here at TALGV, and the volunteers say that I’m a very tolerant, “low-drama” pup who just needs normal supervision. I’m absolutely sure that once I’m comfortable in my new home and understand that I’ll never have to face the great outdoors alone again, I’ll be one doggone grateful fellow who’ll show you the real meaning of “puppy love”!

Sugar

Hi… my name is Sugar.

Adopted October 25, 2014.

Here’s my one wish in the world: when I “grow up” I want to be a lap dog! I’m only a pup but have led a pretty hard life, so I have a lot of catching up to do! I came to TALGV with a terribly infected eye (as you can see, it’s gone now, thank goodness) and two days later presented them with my (last!) brood of babies. I’m a whip-smart, medium-to-high energy, heeler/Lab mix girl (who prefers “the ladies” to the male of the species — something from my past, they think). I have nice leash manners and will bond very quickly with my new person, so if I can find someone who can spend lots of one-on-one of time with me, my life will be complete!

Riley

Hi… my name is Riley.

Adopted January 16, 2015.

The first thing you’ll probably notice about me is that I only have three legs. The second thing will be that it doesn’t make one bit of difference to me! No one knows why I lost my leg, but I adjusted to the loss a long time ago so I’ve pretty much forgotten that I ever had four! I lived with a little family for two months after a friend gave me to them, but they had another small dog and two young kids (all of whom I got along splendidly with), and they really couldn’t devote the time needed for my education. I’m a lovely (and loving!) brindle-colored Lab/heeler mix lady who’s yearning for a family and place of my own to make my life compete.

Arrived June 6, 2014.

Blaze

Hi… my name is Blaze.

I was adopted July 7, 2014.
