Hi… my name is Bentley B (aka Tim),

Adopted with Bailey 12-22-17

I grew up with two other shepherds in outdoor kennels. Then Bailey and I were adopted together, and we learned how wonderful living indoors with people can be! But a human roommate became allergic to us and so we’re back, hoping for one more chance to belong to someone. I still take a little time to warm up to people I don’t know, but once acquainted, my sweet nature shines through; I love attention and will be very loyal to my person. Walks are great—I’m good on a leash, know some commands including sit and come, and was gentle and tolerant with three children in my former home. I’m a handsome 3-1/2-year-old male with a brown, black and white coat, about 71 pounds, and I bet we could be great together forever!

Hi… my name is Bailey (aka Lady),

Adopted with Bentley B 12-22-17

I grew up with two other shepherds in outdoor kennels. Then Bentley and I were adopted together, and we soon learned how wonderful living indoors with people can be! But a human roommate became allergic to us and so now we’re back, hoping for one more chance to share a happy home with caring loved ones. I still take time to warm up to people I don’t know, but once acquainted, my sweet nature shines through; I can be a great cuddler and thrive on your attention. I was gentle and tolerant with three children in my former home, know a few commands and how to walk on a leash. A beautiful tan, black and white 3-1/2-year-old female Shepherd mix, I’m shy but am hopeful that you’ll see how great we can be together.

Hi… my name is Charlie,

Adopted 11-3-17

A short time ago, I was a lost little puppy. But then I was rescued and, needless to say, that day changed the path of my life entirely. Now I’m free to be happy—eager for each new day of play and having fun. At just 4 months of age, I still have things to learn; the volunteers report I “correct easily,” so that will be helpful as I become the best little dog I can be. A Terrier mix male, I’m now 14.8 pounds with a short white coat and sweet brown eyes. I’m energetic, but also can be easy-going—a friendly dog who enjoys company and wants you to be happy, too. So let’s meet! If we find each other irresistible (paws crossed we do), we could be happy together forever!

Hi… my name is Rusty,

Adopted 12-23-17

Rusty has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

“Sweet, wonderful dog.” Big life changes (job and school) resulted in my person returning me to TALGV, but not before she wrote that nice description about me, and much more: “He let my young son crawl all over him. I’ve never seen him be aggressive.” And this: “Always friendly. Loves to go on runs/walks.” She said I barked when new people came onto the property, which can be good—especially because she added that I was “never aggressive.” Plus, she said I was housebroken. (One accident during the scary part of monsoon season.) Full disclosure: I’m a 2-1/2-year-old Heeler/Hound mix male and big favorite here because I’m such a loveable guy, albeit somewhat shy at first. And for me, it’s most important what you think. How about we meet and see if we match?

Hi… my name is Roseanne,

Adopted 1-1-18

Child abuse doesn’t just happen to humans. I arrived at TALGV with a massive wound on my head and taken to the vet where they discovered that I’d also had a recently broken jaw. After months of treatment and recovery, I’m living with a foster mom (who thinks my injuries were inflicted with a shovel), and she says that despite everything, I’m a sweet, happy girl. I have sight and hearing loss on my left side and have some neurological damage (mom says that I’ll be “locked forever in a puppy world” as my learning curve is a bit slow), but I love people, get along fine with the resident dogs and cats, am housebroken, and am learning to walk on a leash, so everyone is hoping that I can find a super special person to give me lots of love and consistency in my life. If you consider me when you’re ready to “pay it forward,” you won’t be sorry!

 P.S. Things you should know about me (from my foster mom): I’m hearing and sight-impaired on my left side. I have permanent neurological damage (sort of like a Down Syndrome child). My tail wags almost all the time. I didn’t used to know what toys were, but I’m learning. I’m learning to trust people, too. I go into my crate (my “safe place”) if I’m frightened. I’m housebroken (I go to the door). I like dogs and cats (especially dogs!). I’m a sweet, happy girl who gets along with all people and kids. I am getting better and better with leash training every day. I need patience and consistency and a “pattern” to my life.

And most of all: I need time and understanding and guidance and love.

Hi… my name is Ghost,

Adopted 10-15-17

Our happy home included people, dogs and a cat, until a problem arose. Due to her health issues, our person could no longer take care of us. The great news is that my best dog buddy has already been adopted, which gives me high hopes that I’ll be next. I’m a 16-month-old white Chihuahua/Poodle mix male, 15-1/2 pounds—a nice size for cuddling, which is one of my favorite things. I also enjoy playing with other dogs, love my chew toys, and know the commands “sit,” “shake,” “high five,” “kiss,” and “come here.” My former person said someone had been unkind to me previously, which may be why I’m so shy at first, but please don’t let that keep us apart. I’m truly eager to share love and happiness again—this time with you!

Hi… my name is Stella,

Adopted 10-24-17

Friendly and sweet, active and adventurous—I hope you like that combination because those words describe me! After my buddy Lobo (a Husky/Shepherd mix) and I escaped from their place, our people decided to bring us here so we could find a home where we’d be more likely to happily stay put. My former people said I was gentle and tolerant with children (ages 9 to 16)—indeed, they said I “love children”—and got along with other animals. I’m friendly here, too, playful, and enjoying the attention. They call me a Rottie mix female, but I have a slender build and weigh just 53 pounds at 10 months. These days, true to my sweet nature, I’m eager to be someone’s loyal and loving companion forever. Could you and I be the perfect combination?

Hi… my name is Lobo,

Adopted 11-24-17

After my buddy Stella (a Rottie mix) and I escaped from their place, our people brought us here so we could find a home where we’d be more likely to happily stay put. I arrived with a significantly injured toe, which has been treated and I’ve been a brave and good patient. That’s not a big surprise—although relatively young and active, I’m a sweet guy by nature. My former people called me “a loving dog,” and said I was gentle and tolerant with children (ages 9 to 16)—indeed, they said I was “great with kids”—and got along with other dogs. I’m a Husky/Shepherd mix male, 63 pounds, with blue eyes, a gorgeous white coat, and a great big heart. I’m going to be someone’s loving companion forever—could it be you?
