Hi… my name is Sammie.

Adopted July 24, 2015

Other dogs have lost their homes due to the dreaded D word, and now me, too. My parents divorced and so I’m looking for my new home. I’ve got great qualifications – I like being with other friendly dogs and have lived with cats; I’m gentle with kids, have good house manners, not a big barking gal, leash trained, and have what humans call “an even temperament.” Sound good? Well, here’s what I really want to tell you: I like companionship and, if I do say so myself, I’m good at it. I like to hike, run, go for car rides, and, most of all, I love having a home. I’m a 45-pound black lab mix female, sometimes a little shy at first, but I just know we could be friends…and maybe family!

Hi… my name is Austin.

Adopted October 19, 2015

I’m a happy guy who’s looking for someone to share the good times. People say I’m smart and that’s great, but it turned out I was “too much” for the senior community where I was living and so now I’m here, ready to make new friends. I’m a 4-year-old male, warm tan with white markings, and one look in my big brown eyes will tell you that I’ve got lots of love to give. As a Lab/Shepherd mix, I have good qualities from both breeds—I’m a loyal, playful fellow who really enjoys the company of people. Thanks to my smarts, I know how to be a good dog, and thanks to my personality, I know how to have fun! Let’s have a meet and greet, and see how happy we can be together!

Hi… my name is Star,

Adopted August 4, 2016

Star has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

My brother and I were puppies found in the desert. We stayed with our rescuers for several months, living outside until we moved here, where the volunteers have taught me so much! Now I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and even earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate! I’m a young Boxer/Lab/Staffie mix male, 52 pounds, and my friends call me handsome—in part because of my sleek black coat with the white star on my neck—and a fun companion for walks, playing ball, and belly rubs. (I’ll try to make those belly rubs fun for you, too, okay?) I’m super grateful to those who helped me become the terrific dog I am today, and all I ask from you is a chance to show you how great we could be together.

Hi… my name is Cloud,

Adopted August 4, 2016

Cloud has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

My brother and I were found in the desert when we were just puppies. We stayed with our rescuers for several months, living outside until we moved here, where the volunteers have taught me so much! Now I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and even earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate! I’m a young Boxer/Lab/Staffie mix male, 47 pounds, and my friends call me handsome—thanks to my sleek black coat with snowy white markings—and a fun companion for walks, playing ball, and receiving belly rubs. (I’ll try to make those belly rubs fun for you, too, okay?) I’m super grateful to those who helped me become the terrific dog I am today, and all I ask from you is a chance to show you how great we could be together.

Hi… my name is Miss Bella.

Adopted October 28, 2015

Most canines (especially youngsters like me) need to have some kind of entertainment or a job to do. Boredom can lead to things not popular with our people. My mom and dad said I was a sweet, passive girl, but I did “get into things” when left alone, so they decided I’d do better with a family that was home more and could give me the attention I deserve. I love to play with (unstuffed) squeaky toys, ropes, and know all my basic commands; I just need someone who can direct my energies toward doggie things. (Long walks or agility would be wonderful.) Here at TALGV, I’m learning to use a lot of energy in playing with my new doggie friend. I’m a young Border Collie/Lab mix, who’ll make a great addition to your family.

Hi… my name is Buck.

Adopted July 18, 2015

I guess some people just forget how much attention and energy are necessary to really bring out a young puppy’s finest qualities. My dad tried, but he just didn’t have enough time, so I’m back at my alma mater and getting lots of encouragement and instruction from the volunteers so I’ll be ready for my next family. They say that I’m a wonderful 7-month-old lab/Shar Pei mix pup who just needs to understand what’s expected of me to be the best dog ever.  I’m extremely affectionate and gentle (although I’m a bit of a puller on a walk, but that’s just because no one had shown me how that process is supposed to work!). So now that you know a little about my background, how about letting my future be your call?

Hi… my name is Marley.

Adopted September 30, 2015

The man who found me in the Safeway parking lot on Duval Mine Road said that he would have kept me in a minute, but he didn’t have a fenced yard for me to stretch my legs, so decided I’d do better with another family. I got along fine with his kids and the other animals I met, but since I arrived here I’ve been a little shy (but not “fearful” if that makes sense!), and am giving more tail wags and asking for affection with each passing day. The volunteers say I’m curious about toys (I may never have had the opportunity to play with them, who knows?), and they’re certain that I’ll be worth the investment in helping me understand that good things are in store for me with a new family.

Hi… my name is Truffle.

Adopted January 28,2016

My siblings, Oatmeal, Gingersnap, Shortbread, and my mom, Cookie (see a “theme” here?), were living outdoors in very poor conditions when TALGV’s Outreach Program rescued us. In addition to being malnourished, we had a lot of other issues, but with the TLC (and medical attention) we’ve been getting, we’re soon to be “up and running.” The volunteers say that I’m the shyest of my siblings and need a quiet environment with a kind soul who can show me patience and affection to help me come out of my shell. I’m actually an “easy keeper” when it comes to feeding and exercise, but I just need to learn the social skills that I missed out on in early life. With your help, I know I can reach my full potential and make you proud!
