Animal League News

Hi… my name is Johnny,

Adopted by Soldier’s Best Friend 11-27-17

I was found on Duval Mine Road, so maybe I was trying to find the Animal League. Fortunately, my rescuer brought me here and I’ve been making new friends ever since. The volunteer who did my intake physical exam described me as “adorable.” (High praise from the person who took my temperature!) “Soft, and easy,” she added. One of the walkers described me as “peaceful,” and when you visit, you might say good things about my calm, friendly nature. I do enjoy activity and since I’m a social guy, sharing that activity with my people is top of my list. At 84 pounds, I’m a big Chocolate Lab mix male with a big heart to match. And since I’m just 2 years old, we could go down many happy trails in our future together.

Hi… my name is Gorda,

Adopted 1-15-18

When my former people moved to an apartment, my buddy Chubbs and I couldn’t go along. Disappointing? Sure. But I’m just 1 year old—I can deal with the change. Besides, I’m friendly by nature (my people said they didn’t know any person or animal I didn’t get along with), so meeting someone new who could take me home and spend time with me is an opportunity I welcome! At my former home I lived outside and enjoyed sitting in my doggy pool, but moving indoors sounds real comfy. I’m getting some training here, including how to walk on a leash, and I already know how to be playful and loving. At 57 pounds, I’m probably a Hound/Lab mix, definitely a female, with a beautiful brown coat and a genuine yearning to be yours.

Hi… my name is Chubbs,

Adopted 11-17-17

When our people moved to an apartment, my pal Gorda and I couldn’t go along. But there was good news: We came here, where lots of people like me just for being a good dog. And I like them right back! Indeed, I’m always ready for your attention. If you’re busy, I also love chew toys and balls, especially the ones that squeak. My former family said I was gentle and tolerant with their 1-year-old, got along with other animals, and described me as “really kind.” And, by the way, Chubbs must have been my puppy name because now I’m 42 pounds—a very nice size for a 2-year-old Lab/Hound mix male. My coat is tan with a little white, and my sweet brown eyes tell you how much I want to be yours.

Hi… my name is Luke,

Adopted 10-11-17

Luke comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

If you’ve ever wondered why people love their Labs so much, my buddy Bo and I will be happy to show you. (If you already know lovable Labs, that’s even better!) We’re friendly, intelligent, eager to please, trusting and loyal companions. As for me in particular, at age 13, I truly enjoy the good life—daily exercise, play time, nap time, and someone to share it all with. Plus, I have Free Vet Care for Life! For years, I lived with Bo, a yellow Lab, (together except when eating), and Dad was very sad to leave us, but his new home already has as many dogs as allowed. So here I am—a calm, sweet, 62-pound black Lab male, ready to be your partner in the good life if you just say the word.

Hi… my name is Bubba (aka Marmaduke),

Adopted 1-14-18

Bubba has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Here at TALGV, I’ve been dubbed “The Poster Boy for Big Dogs!” That’s because I’m so well behaved and fun at community events—friendly, responsive, calm amid the excitement, walk well in my harness and ride well in the car. All 90 pounds of me! At home, my former people said, I was housebroken, cuddly, obedient, and got along with their cat. I do guard food and toys from other dogs and even cats, so please be aware of that. But I’m very people friendly, always delighted to see my human friends, and as further proof of my excellent manners, I’ve earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate. So that’s me, a big guy trying his best to be loveable, so that maybe you’ll say the happiest thing ever—that I can be yours!

Hi… my name is Bella Sue,

Adopted 9-2-17

Mom and Dad adopted me three years ago, back when I was just a pup. Since then I’ve learned some important things—how to walk on a leash, “ask” to go outside, follow commands—and recently I learned another lesson: Life can change suddenly. My dad died, and now mom is moving and can’t take care of me anymore. So I came here a little lonely and bashful, but kindness has really brightened my days. The volunteers say I’m elegant with lots of charm (sometimes they let me give them kisses), and although I’m tall (about 64 pounds), my former owner said I wasn’t a jumper, and can be good with kids. I’m a sweet and beautiful black Lab/Heeler/Greyhound mix female, who’d love to go home with you and be happy together forever.

Hi… my name is Yogi,

Adopted 9-10-18

I used to live outside all the time. Oh, I learned to cope, but the comforts and company of living inside are truly appealing. (I do love a pool, so some outside time can be fun.) I’m 7 years old—lots of living still to do—but my people are moving and can’t take me along. We’ve been together since I was a puppy, so it’s a big change, but there’s a bright side: I know how to be a loving companion and I certainly love receiving attention, so this is my big chance for more of that! I’m an Akita/Lab mix male, about 65 pounds, with a beautiful rust and white coat. I’m leash-trained, have lived with other dogs, know some commands, and will live happily ever after if you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Lucy,

Adopted 9-2-17

“There are so many wonderful and good things about this dog.” That’s what my former people said about me, and they elaborated: “Great on a leash, easily treat motivated…smart, good looking…active…wants to please …learns quickly.” So why did we part? Cats. I cannot live with cats. Also, after we moved, I had some separation anxiety when left alone in the new house. Back here, the volunteers agree with all the good things said about me, especially the observation that I’ll “warm your heart.” I’m a gentle, sweet, beautiful red 4-1/2-year-old female, 76 pounds (need to lose a few), and although I can be shy at first, you’ll see that I love the company of people. I’m sure there are many wonderful and good things about you, too, so won’t we make a perfect match?
