Peach

Hi… my name is Peach,

Adopted 9-7-24

Maybe you can tell at a glance that I’m a hound dog mix. The deep brown eyes, floppy ears, and rust-colored coat. But it will take a little longer to get to know me because I’m shy around people I don’t know. Sweet but shy. Happily, I’ve made friends with some of the volunteers, who have told me more than once that I’m super smart. Thanks to them, I’m learning basic commands, proper leash walking, and other things good dogs know. For company, I share my run with another dog, and my siblings and I are very good at energetic, fun-filled times in the play yard. Sounds good, right? But one thing is missing. I long to be someone’s dog, in a forever home where love abides. Could you give this shy dog a chance?

Nectarine

Hi… my name is Nectarine,

Adopted 8-24-24

In my young dog world, it’s always a good time for fun, or food, or a cozy nap. Do I hear you ask about learning time? Well, sometimes the TALGV trainers think they’re sneaking it in, but my siblings and I are wise to that. And happy about it. We like to learn! Leash walking, basic commands, proper dog manners—it’s all good. And since we’re “super smart hound dogs” (to quote several observant volunteers), we’re up for the challenge of learning more. For me, my natural self-confidence can be another plus. I can be the energetic leader among shyer dogs and have also made friends among TALGV humans. Could you and I be friends, too…maybe even best friends? I’m willing! Let’s meet and see if we could share a happy, active life together.

Apple

Hi… my name is Apple,

Adopted 9-14-24

I started life as a baby sister in a litter of hound dog mixes, and it’s been great to have familiar, playful siblings. We still resemble each other—floppy ears, deep brown eyes, rust-colored coats—but now we have individual personalities. Of course, we all like to have fun, even adventures, and we’ve learned lots of good dog things, like leash walking and basic commands. And while TALGV friends say I’m super smart and sweet, I admit to being shy, content with those I know but needing reassurance around strangers. Maybe it takes an extra supply of patience and understanding to adopt a shy dog, but please know that I, too, dream of my very own happy home with someone to love forever. I hesitate to ask but I’m wondering…could you be my someone?

Samantha

Hi… my name is Samantha (aka Sasha),

What do you call a one-year-old shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging? Furry Flirtypants? Cuddle Commander? Supreme Snuggler? Any and all of them would fit. I may be young, but I’m in the process of learning good manners, both in a home and out on walks with my human friends. I’m an adventurous and active girl who loves exploring the world around me with my favorite people. I dream of finding a forever home where I can share my boundless affection and bring joy to everyone I meet. With my loyal spirit I know I’ll make the perfect addition to a loving family. Are you the one who will help me on my journey to become the BEST girl I can possibly be?

Lucky

Hi… my name is Lucky,

Adopted 1–20-24

“He truly has been an amazing dog!” That’s a quote from my foster mom. I got along well with the resident dogs, but unfortunately, not the cat! Otherwise, I might have made a good addition to the family. During meals I showed no food aggression and politely “sit” when served. I love playing a game of tug-of-war and with my chew toys. I have also been willing to share. I’m potty trained, use a doggy door, and sleep all night in my bed. Barking is not something I do a lot, unless I’m invited to join a “canine chorus,” then my bark would make any watch dog proud. I’m still a sweet, easy-going puppy at heart. I know you’ve heard the phrase, “get lucky,” well this Lucky is ready to get a new home, and if you’re ready to get lucky, I’m ready to go home!

Captain

Hi… my name is Captain,

Adopted 6-10-24

Ahoy! I’m Captain, your next adventure buddy and forever friend! I’m a hound mix who was found alone in Green Valley and brought to TALGV where I quickly became buddies with two- and four-legged friends. My zest for life is infectious; I’m a quick learner and am ready to master new tricks or commands to impress you. I also have a calm and loving side, relishing in cuddles and quiet moments with my human. I’m looking for a family that can provide me with the love, attention, and exercise I crave. If you’re ready for a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and unconditional love, I’m the first mate you’ve been searching for. Make me a part of your crew today, and together, we’ll sail through life’s journey with joy and companionship.

Crosby

Hi… my name is Crosby,

Adopted 12-28-23

People tend to notice my merle and white coat first because, they say, it’s unusually handsome. They often comment on my eyes—one is blue, the other brown. I enjoy the compliments, of course, but my favorite part is when we get acquainted because I’m a friendly, sweet guy who loves being with people. Some say I make them happy just by being me! The kind fellow who rescued me couldn’t keep me forever, but in our two days together he wished he could. He said my good qualities included being “a great dog, lots of love, very sweet, and sensitive.” My friends here agree! Affectionate and active, I’m a young guy, about 2 years old, so we could share lots of good times ahead. Please stop by. I’d love to meet you today!

Herbie

Hi… my name is Herbie,

adopted 4-7-24

I’ve been asked to tell you my story and I’m glad to do it. I’m a dog. I like having a job. There’s just one problem. I was found running down a busy road and I don’t remember much before that. For now, I’ll just say a big thank you to the kind woman who stopped for me and brought me safely here. Since then, I’ve made lots of new Animal League friends. One of them taught me how to “sit” on my first day! Another time, I solved a dog puzzle and was told that I’m as smart as I am handsome! Did I mention I’m just 1 year old? Fun-loving and fun to have around, I’d like to make friends with you, too. Who knows? We might start our own story together!

Midnight

Hi… my name is Midnight,

Adopted 4-7-24

Elvis got it wrong. While I’m thought to be a hound-mix, I certainly don’t go “crying all the time.” I prefer to go on sniffaris to inspect the wonderful scents. I was found without any ID and started hanging around a nice lady’s home where lots of other dogs lived. She kindly fed me while looking for my people. Unfortunately, nobody came for me, so now I’m with my new friends at the Animal League where I’m safe and cared for. I do get scared if other dogs bark at me; however, I’m building up my bravery. What I’d like more than anything is to get out of this place and find my own family, but I’m told I need to wait for people to come to me. Darn! Will you please show up soon!
