Hi… my name is Fred.
I was adopted July 16, 2014.
Okay, they say I’m rambunctious. Well, at only 6 months old I’m a big guy already, so between the exuberance of youth and a bit of heft, I must admit I am a handful. But oh what a happy, people-loving handful! My dad adopted me when I was an 8-week-old and he was working on my training, but sadly he developed an illness that severely limited his physical abilities. I stayed with his brother for a while, but he had small kids and although I enjoyed them, my enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming. I’m an imposing black Lab/Mastiff mix boy who knows a few commands, walks well on leash, and am “easily trainable,” so I’ve got a good start on the basics already. Won’t you help me round them out in my own home?

Hi… my name is Princess.
I was adopted July 25, 2014.
You know when you meet me and I immediately roll over on my back to get belly rubs that I’m going to be one sweet and loving companion! A lady from Green Valley saw me pushed from a car in near I-19 in Tucson, and happily for me, she stopped, scooped me up, and brought me here. Whew! Without her that could have been a REALLY bad outcome for me! As a waif, there’s not too much I can tell you about my former life, but suffice it to say I’m outgoing and ever so eager to find a safe, lively home. I’m a young and a charming, 31-pound black Lab “in a smaller package” who promises to be the Velcro dog of your dreams. Just give me a chance!

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!

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!

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.
Arrived June 6, 2014.

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.

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!

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.

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!
