Hi… my name is Lionel,

Adopted 5-11-18

When my person moved into assisted living, I was so worried about leaving home that I was described as “scared to death.” Once here, despite gentle reassurances from understanding people, I trembled so hard the toys in my room were shaking, too. Today, if you look in my eyes, you’ll see I’m still worried about strangers, but I also can’t help but be interested in them. Is that one friendly? Does she have any of those tiny biscuits in her pocket? Right now, I’m more comfortable with men, but that doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. Very slowly, I’ve become acquainted with women here and turns out they can be nice, too. I’m a 4-year-old blonde Chihuahua mix male, and if you’re a patient, kind person, I’d love to feel safe again with you.

Hi… my name is Leon,

Adopted 4-25-18

I can safely say that whoever you are, you’re bigger than me. A 1-year-old Chihuahua male, I’m just 6.2 pounds, so you can imagine how scared I was to be lost—and how grateful I was to be rescued. Unfortunately, my finder’s other dogs didn’t like me, but that’s okay. I’m here now, where I’m discovering that new friends can be wonderful. Oh, I’m still timid; when someone makes me feel secure, I like to stay with them, but I’m also venturing out—stepping forward in my fenced-in patio in TALGV’s Den, hoping to meet a patient, understanding someone who’ll teach me things, introduce me to fun, and share a big love with sweet, tiny me. If you could be my someone, please let me suggest that we start our happy life together today!

Hi… my name is Mader,

Adopted 10-14-18

Mader has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us—two other dogs and I were found near the interstate. When we arrived here, being together gave each of us the added confidence needed to meet new people, and that’s sure been worth it. My new friends have shown me that people can be as much fun as dogs! I’m a Lab/Staffie mix male, mainly black with touches of white, and about 57 pounds. As a 1-year-old, I’m looking forward to lots of fun, happy times, and I bet you can teach me how to be the best dog I can be. Here’s hoping we can start real soon, because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Hi… my name is Nala,

Adopted 5-24-18

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us— a male dog, another female and I were found near the interstate. Being together here has been helpful, too, because although I’m calm and sweet natured, I was timid around people at first and did the get-acquainted dance—two steps forward and one step back. It sure was worth it! My new friends stroke my short tan coat, and they’re showing me that people can be as much fun as dogs! A nice size at 49 pounds, I’m a 1-year-old female who’s still learning, and you’ll hear my unusual bark when we meet, which I hope is real soon because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Hi… my name is Foxy,

Adopted by The Humane Society 11-25-18

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us—a male dog, another female and I were found near the interstate. Now, being together here has been helpful, too, because it’s given each of us the added confidence needed to meet new people. Happily, I’ve been the friendliest of our little trio and it’s sure been worth it! My new friends have shown me that people can be as much fun as dogs! A nice size at 47 pounds, I’m a 2-year-old Lab/Staffie mix female, black with touches of white, a couple of almost-hidden scars from the past, and, best of all, an eagerness to get to know you because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Hi… my name is Bailey,

Adopted 7-30-18

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

Even though I’m 9 years old, I’m sure some of my happiest trails are still ahead of me. Here’s one way I know: I recently had great fun with a family including five children (age 10 and older). We played fetch, the kids liked it when I’d sit, stay and come on their say-so, and I loved it when they kept saying, “Bailey is awesome!” At 75 pounds, I’ve been called a shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix, but you can just call me a big loveable guy. I need a new home because my person became seriously ill and couldn’t keep me. I hope it helps that I come with Free Vet Care for Life, and I also come ready to relax, have fun, and be your faithful companion. Will you give me that chance?

Tiz

Hi… my name is Tiz,

Adopted 4-15-18

I shared wonderful times with my special person, but when she went to hospice care, I came back here. (She adopted me 4 years ago.) Our life was quiet, just the two of us, and we enjoyed daily walks, which I especially loved in wide-open spaces although neighborhood strolls are fine, too. Beautiful on a leash, I admit to a playful streak—love my hedgehog, other squeaky toys and balls—and while I deeply feel that one-to-one connection with my person, I like it when other people visit, too. “A real love,” they call me; “so sweet.” An American Bulldog mix female, housebroken, 64 pounds, I’m now 12 years old and come with Free Vet Care for Life, along with a dear heart that will be all yours if you will love me, too.

Hi… my name is Bella Ann,

Adopted 4-11-18

“Sweetness on four legs,” my friends call me, enjoying my happy wiggle, doggie smile and gentle manner. They understand that for me, being brought to this safe place with its kind people feels like a sort of miracle. I’d known much harder times, having been abandoned as a very young dog, left chained in a yard. Fortunately, a neighbor took care of me for a while, noted I was good with kids, but then she moved and couldn’t take me. That’s when I came here, and I was grateful from the get-go! Medical attention came first, along with routine exercise, and now training class (I’m good on a leash). I’m a 1-year-old, tan and white, adorable female, and I’ll be sweet on you forever. Isn’t that the perfect reason to make me yours today!
