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!

Lucie Lu

Hi… my name is Lucie Lu.

I was adopted July 20, 2014.
Thank goodness for Good Samaritans! I was just about to be taken to “the pound” by my owner (because he was unable to walk me any longer!), when a TALGV volunteer overheard the conversation and convinced him to relinquish me to him. That was MY lucky day, I can tell you! I’m a healthy, happy, smart, and affectionate yellow Lab mix lady (with endearing Shar Pei-like ears!), and everyone agrees that I’ll be a wonderfully loving companion who will adapt beautifully to an active family. I don’t bark (at least no one has heard me yet!), am good with kids, and other dogs, so what’s stopping you? I know that if you come down to meet me you’ll be able to see all my sterling attributes for yourself!

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.

Bear

Hi… my name is Bear.

Adopted April 18, 2015/

Six years ago, my dad rescued me from a home in a trailer park when the family was being evicted and planned to leave me in the desert. Thank heavens for him! Unfortunately, his circumstances have changed and he can no longer keep me, so he prevailed on TALGV to find me one last, big-black-Lab-loving home. The folks here say that although I’ve got a way to go in the formal training department, I yearn to spend my time having lots of “people contact.” I walk well on a leash (with anyone who’ll take me for a spin!), and get along okay with other dogs (there were five of them in my other home), so if you want a guy who craves attention and to join you in your daily activities, I’d be the perfect fit!

Bear comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

Arrived April 29, 2014.

Raven

Hi… my name is Raven.

Adopted Deceber 24, 2014.

Not to toot my own horn, but here’s what the volunteers are saying about me: “Raven is one of the best dogs we’ve had in a while. Besides being a wonderful mom, she’s house trained, loves people, walks well on leash, and wants to be a big lap dog.” The police and firemen rescued me when they responded to a call about Africanized bees and found me (and my nine puppies!) in a wire enclosure, so you know that I’m really happy to be here! My babies are all adopted now, so I’m free to get on with my life. I’m a striking, 60-pound black Lab mix lady who will undoubtedly make any Lab lover’s heart go pitty-pat, so come on down and visit me and see for yourself!

Budger

Hi… my name is Budger.

Adopted April 18, 2016

After being rescued from a motel room (it’s a long story), I’m super grateful to those helping me find my forever home. One is my wonderful foster mom. She understands I’m so shy that sometimes I can’t be friendly with new people. But once I get to know you, she says, I’m a “Major Snuggle Bunny!” She’s shown me the joys of living in a home, and praised me for learning house manners so quickly. I’m getting REAL good at meeting new dogs, being sociable, and learning to become comfortable with new people. I don’t “do” cats well, but with people I know, I’m a lovable, sweet boy; a 70-pound, yellow Lab/Staffie mix who’d love to get to know you. If you feel the same, TALGV will call Foster Mom and we’ll meet soon!

Arrived April 3, 2014.

Madi

Hi… my name is Madi.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Shelby who was recently adopted) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful (albeit a bit shy), black Lab/shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “sweetheart” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!

Shannon

Hi… my name is Shannon.

I was adopted on April 25, 2014.

Kobe

Hi… my name is Kobe.

If you’re a “big dog” person, have I got a deal for you! My little family had to relinquish me because their landlord said I was too big (I started out life with them as a puppy, but, like Topsy, I “just growed” I guess!). They had so many good things to say about me — I’m calm, good with other dogs, great with kids of any age, not toy or food dominant, respond to whistles, and like to give hugs (if you don’t mind a 73-pound hugger!). I’m perfectly house and crate trained, walk well on or off leash, know “sit, lay, shake” and the ever popular “hug” when you pat your upper chest. I’m an impressive brindle-colored Labrador mix boy who wants so badly to be part of an active family. Maybe if I can find that, I’ll be able to stop missing everyone I had to leave behind. Can you help with that?

Sage

Hi… my name is Sage.

When you have shepherd, Lab, and a touch of “something else” in your genes, you know that you’ve got the possibility of great things going on! An older gentleman adopted me after I’d been at TALGV for a while, and my life was wonderful until he died unexpectedly. A friend took care of me for two months and would have kept me forever, but he already had four rescue dogs and didn’t have the resources to keep a big, active 3-year-old as well. He said I’m crate trained, walk well on a leash (and even off leash in safe places), and stay close to my people. He said, “Sage will be a great pet for an individual or family. She likes exercise and can be trusted to stop and obey commands off leash. She accepts authority from those who are handling her.” With those bona fides, I know you’ll fall in love with me in no time!

Sparky

Hi… my name is Sparky.

Adopted 10-6-18

Nature gave me the gift of energy! Even as I’ve grown up and now have some years under my belt, I’m still an extraordinarily lively, exuberant guy. I did have a happy home once—a mom, dad, two small kids, but when their living situation changed, no one had time for me anymore. They felt I deserved more attention than they could provide—especially from someone who could give me training and guidance. Okay, I’ve had some extra training now. And the good things my people said about me are true to this day: I’m a loving, playful guy who’s good on a leash, and loves walks and runs. (I also have a HUGE bark for my size; think “great watchdog.”) So if you’re active and energetic, too, we could be so great together!

Arrived November 17, 2013. Photos updated July 11, 2014.

Chess

Hi… my name is Chess.

My little family is moving out of the country, and with all the rules and regulations (and quarantine) involved in bringing an animal with them, they felt that it would be easier on me if I found a new home. I’m a beautiful black Lab mix girl who has lived with three kids ages 7, 8, and 9 months (so you know I’ll be good around children) and I get along fine with other animals, too. My dad said that I LOVE walks (they’re good for the physique, you know — both mine and yours!), and also like to play fetch, although I haven’t gotten the “bring it back” part down pat yet. I’m perfectly housebroken (I use a doggie door or “ask”), am crate trained, and walk like a lady on a leash. So all you need to do now is make room for me in your life, and we’ll all be happy!
