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?

Hi… my name is Fred,

Adopted 9-24-17

I was found near a river—perhaps a wise place for a lost dog who must find his own water, but the best solution was being rescued! Thereafter, I spent time with some very kind people who think I have what it takes to make someone happy. Like these two popular traits: I’m housebroken and have been “perfect” with cats (“no reaction,” they said). What’s more, I’m great on a leash and ride well in a vehicle. Granted, I find new situations stressful (I’ll let you know by whining, not barking), and have been uncomfortable when left alone in a crate. All things considered, if you find me lovable—a sweet 3-year-old, 74 pound, tan Lab mix male—I think we could be perfect together forever. Please say you’ll let me make you happy.

Hi… my name is Blondie,

Adopted 5-5-18

Blondie has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I’ll tell you how I was found if you promise to remember that I’m a happy, thriving puppy and everything’s fine with me now. Here goes: A man was driving down Pima Mine Road when he saw me being thrown out of the car ahead of him. That was awful, but it’s over. Today, I’m a puppy with a bright future because I’m here, ready to meet you and fall in love. Oh, I admit I need someone to guide me—a patient person who’ll teach me good manners, good leash walking, and all those important good-dog things. I have webbed feet so we think I’m part Lab, and part Staffie; a cute, friendly, fun-loving, tan female. Won’t you please show me how wonderful a loving, forever home can be?

Adopted 7-28-17

KOLOHE is a smart and energetic 5-year-old, 52-pound mix of Shepherd, golden lab, and black mouth cur male who needs a new home because people who have owned him for 3 years have to be away long hours and don’t have much time for him. They would like to give Kolohe the opportunity to be in a home where he can have more attention and possibly a dog buddy. He is neutered, in good health, and is up to date with his shots (medical records are available). He loves rides and is obedience trained – knows many commands in both English and Hawaiian. He is leash trained and needs outdoor exercise, play time, and companionship to keep him content. He is very quiet and will hide to escape thunderstorms. Kolohe gets along with female dogs and most male dogs unless they are large and dominant; tolerates owner’s cat; kids are unknown. He does not get on furniture; he sleeps on floor in owner’s bedroom. There is no adoption fee. If you will welcome Kolohe into a loving home as part of your family, please call Pamela between 12 and 6 PM at 520-631-1863.
