Hi… my name is Firecracker,

Adopted 10-23-17

My happy little life had a dramatic and dangerous beginning. When we were just days old, my brothers and I were part of a remarkable rescue—twelve dogs (including six newborns) found in a vacant house without food or water in triple-digit heat. Our TALGV friends worked frantically to save us all and they succeeded! Of course, our mom was helping the whole time, and she will always be our number one hero. When rescued, I weighed about 1 pound. Today, I’ve grown to 6.8 pounds, part of which is my curly blond-and-white coat (Mom was a Poodle mix). I’m now a playful, energetic, 4-month-old male puppy with lots to learn, so some patience and training required, but if I promise to stay adorable forever (and I do), may my happily-ever-after-home be with you?

Hi… my name is Kimber,

Adopted 8-2-18

Kimber has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

Once a lost dog wandering the streets of Chicago, I was rescued and moved to Arizona. (Pleasant surprise: There are lots of Chicago Cubs fans here.) When my person couldn’t keep me anymore, I came to TALGV, glad to be making new friends while looking for that special someone who’ll be my lifelong friend. Maybe you can see the hope in my big brown eyes. If we become acquainted, you’ll know I’m affectionate and sweet with my person, love bath time, and like to snuggle under a soft blanket. I also know some commands and will usually quiet down when you say, “shhh.” A tan, 9-1/2-year-old Staffie mix female, about 40 pounds, I’d love to be your lap dog, but will be forever happy just being by your side as your loyal, loving companion.

Hi… my name is Wesson,

Adopted 9-29-18

Wesson has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Your attention and affection make me so happy, sometimes you’ll see me give you my best doggie smile. I love belly rubs, being petted, and—full disclosure—I’ll sleep right beside you given the chance. (It’s okay to put my cushion on the floor so there’s room for you in the bed.) I also love to learn, which is how I earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, awarded for excellence in the behavior department! I’m a 4-year-old Staffie mix male, down to 75 pounds on a nutritious diet and still strong. I wasn’t raised around children, but when I met two young boys here, my behavior with them was “wonderful.” I’m best as your only dog, and if you let that dream come true, I’ll try to make you smile every day, too.

Hi… my name is Lucky,

Adopted 1-13-18

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

It’s tempting to be philosophical about my name. Was I terribly unlucky to have been abandoned with my son, Buddy, and not found until we were malnourished? Or was I lucky to have been found in time? I opt for lucky because we’re here now, where friends will help each of us find a comfy home with caring, loving people. I’ve been shy with strangers, but a gentle, quiet manner wins me over, (treats help, too), and once we’re okay with each other, I love your soft touch under my chin or petting my head. Easy, slow walks together are wonderful, too. I’m an 11-year-old Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix female with a gorgeous face and golden brown coat, 58 pounds, who comes with FREE Vet Care for Life and a heart yearning to be yours.

Hi… my name is Rascal,

Adopted 10-24-17

Note: Bio needs update. I was a lost dog, without a human to call my own and that’s just no way to live. It’s dangerous and lonely. So I was very grateful when a wonderful lady took me home, but her landlord does not allow animals, so we had to part ways. I was shy with her and felt the same way here at first, but now I’m meeting lots of people and enjoying the company. Once comfortable, I’m a lively guy and would make a great companion for someone with an active lifestyle. I know “sit,” and will greatly appreciate a patient someone who’ll teach me things a good dog knows. At two years old, I’m a handsome, tricolored Shepherd mix male, about 58 pounds, who’s hoping you’ll come see me real soon and make me yours.

Hi… my name is Gorda,

Adopted 1-15-18

When my former people moved to an apartment, my buddy Chubbs and I couldn’t go along. Disappointing? Sure. But I’m just 1 year old—I can deal with the change. Besides, I’m friendly by nature (my people said they didn’t know any person or animal I didn’t get along with), so meeting someone new who could take me home and spend time with me is an opportunity I welcome! At my former home I lived outside and enjoyed sitting in my doggy pool, but moving indoors sounds real comfy. I’m getting some training here, including how to walk on a leash, and I already know how to be playful and loving. At 57 pounds, I’m probably a Hound/Lab mix, definitely a female, with a beautiful brown coat and a genuine yearning to be yours.

Hi… my name is Chubbs,

Adopted 11-17-17

When our people moved to an apartment, my pal Gorda and I couldn’t go along. But there was good news: We came here, where lots of people like me just for being a good dog. And I like them right back! Indeed, I’m always ready for your attention. If you’re busy, I also love chew toys and balls, especially the ones that squeak. My former family said I was gentle and tolerant with their 1-year-old, got along with other animals, and described me as “really kind.” And, by the way, Chubbs must have been my puppy name because now I’m 42 pounds—a very nice size for a 2-year-old Lab/Hound mix male. My coat is tan with a little white, and my sweet brown eyes tell you how much I want to be yours.
