Hi… my name is Bubba (aka Marmaduke),

Adopted 1-14-18

Bubba has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Here at TALGV, I’ve been dubbed “The Poster Boy for Big Dogs!” That’s because I’m so well behaved and fun at community events—friendly, responsive, calm amid the excitement, walk well in my harness and ride well in the car. All 90 pounds of me! At home, my former people said, I was housebroken, cuddly, obedient, and got along with their cat. I do guard food and toys from other dogs and even cats, so please be aware of that. But I’m very people friendly, always delighted to see my human friends, and as further proof of my excellent manners, I’ve earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate. So that’s me, a big guy trying his best to be loveable, so that maybe you’ll say the happiest thing ever—that I can be yours!

Hi… my name is Curtis,

Adopted 9-24-17

One hot August day, I was running down I-19, lost and very much in need of a safe place and some water. Then something wonderful happened. A gentleman stopped and rescued me from that dangerous situation. He brought me here, where the volunteers immediately said I’m what they call “a very nice dog.” (They didn’t mind at all when I immediately put my hot paws in a bucket of cool water.) Oh, I’m still playful—just 2 years old, so I’m lively and energetic, but also mature enough to sometimes just settle and enjoy the relaxing company of my person. I’m a 59-pound Shepherd mix male, handsome with interesting ears, and I’m lucky to be here. I’ll be even luckier, and forever happier, if I get to go one more place—home with you.

Hi… my name is Mack,

Adopted with Jack 9-27-17

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

“Mack is a loving, gentle dog, who needs a new home.” That’s how Dad described me, explaining that he and Mom gave me up only due to their own health and housing situation (assisted living). I had happy years with them, along with Jack, my Poodle/Bichon buddy, and Dad called me “a wonderful dog—a great companion,” adding that I’m very comfortable in most situations, love attention, and like to eat most things (including Jack’s food, given the chance!). I’m a 20-pound Maltese mix male, almost 11 years old and so I have free vet care for life. I walk well on a leash, behave well off leash, and enjoy my walks here, but having known the joys of home, that’s where I’m hoping to go soon and forever. Could it be with you?

Hi… my name is Jack,

Adopted with Mack 9-26-17

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

“Jack is a wonderful little companion.” Among the good things people say about me, that sweet statement may say it best, and it’s extra meaningful because it comes from my owners of 11 years. We’d still be together if it weren’t for their own health issues; they love me and want me to have the good home they can no longer provide. A 13-year-old, 16-pound Poodle/Bichon mix, I’m not terribly active, but enjoy my walks and still like to play; my appetite is good (I’ll let you know when it’s time to eat), and I come with free vet care for life. My people said I was “wonderful” around adults and bigger kids (no experience around smaller children), and simply a guy who’s very good at being a good friend. May I be yours?

Hi… my name is Robby,

Adopted 3-2-18

Robby has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I’m such a happy, always-glad-to-see-you kind of guy that you may be pleasantly surprised by my seriously excellent credentials. For instance, I’ve earned my Canine Good Citizen certificate for an outstanding performance in the behavior department. I know “sit,” “stay,” and “down,” how to behave well at home and in public, and I’m leash trained. Asked to list my strengths, my former owner started with “he minds.” Now, the fun stuff: I play ball, like car rides, and my former family said I was great with kids. They’re moving and couldn’t take me with them, which is disappointing, but friends say my future is bright. I’m a friendly black and white 5-year-old male, currently 53 pounds, and I’m so ready to be somebody’s best buddy forever that all you need to add is love.

Hi… my name is Patty (aka Dot),

Adopted 2-23-18

Patty comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

My door sign could read “Visitors Welcome” because I’m a friendly dog who loves the attention of people. As a grown-up, an 8-1/2-year-old, I can be gentle and calm, walk by your side, nicely leash trained. But also, just being me, I’m outgoing and fun-loving, too. At my former home, a gate or door was too often left open and I’d wander out, looking for friends—fun, but not safe. A new home will be best, and I’m excited about finding someone new who cares about me. I’m a 54-pound female, a brindle and white sweetie who has free vet care for life, dreaming of my forever home—that place where we’re happy just being together, having fun and taking care of each other. If that’s “home” for you, too, I’d love to be yours!

Hi… my name is Magic,

Adopted 10-11-17

A stroke of luck—perhaps a magic moment—made me a TALGV dog. A volunteer was walking between the buildings when, out of the corner of her eye, she spied me running loose in a neighbor’s parking lot. She called and I happily ran to her. I’d probably been out in the hot weather for some time because my paw pads were swollen and peeling, so you can imagine how great these cool floors felt to me. And as glad as I am to be here, my new friends seem just as glad to have me! They say I’m adorable, calm, and attentive to my person. Just 5 months old, I’m a sweet tan and white female, about 35 pounds, who is ready for that best magic moment of all—when you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Boom Boom,

Adopted with Firecracker 8-17-17

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 and they succeeded! Of course, Mom was with us the whole time—doing what she could to keep us going—and she will always be our number one hero. When rescued, I weighed less than 1 pound. Today I’m a growing, adorable male puppy with a black coat (Mom is a Poodle mix), lots to learn (I’m already really good at the nap-and-play-whenever-you-can thing), and irresistibly cute. When I’m ready, will you give me my new beginning in a happily-ever-after home with you?
