Hi… my name is Gunther,

Adopted 8-13-17

Gunther has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Last fall, I arrived as a thin little puppy with scrapes and scratches on my face. Happily, I was soon adopted and my people said I was great with kids, but they brought me back for doing some puppy chewing at home. My TALGV friends have lots of good training ideas to get me through that stage and I’m doing so well, I’ve now earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate—proof of my excellent manners! I make great eye contact with my person, can chill out pretty easily, and I’m very responsive to affection. Indeed, I’m so friendly, I can wag my whole body just to show how happy I am to see you! A 1-year-old male, 62 pounds, I’m ready to be your partner in fun for a long time to come.

Hi… my name is Gypsy,

Adopted 9-2-17

I was adopted as a sweet little puppy and today I’m a sweet 2-1/2-year old, but my people can’t keep me anymore. Their new Florida landlord says I can’t live with them there. So I’m going to give my heart to someone new and hope this time it’s forever! I’m a playful, loving, tan and white Staffie mix female, 27 pounds. I’ve not lived with children, but my former people said I was gentle and tolerant. I can jump high and do not get along with cats, but I love playing with my toys and sleeping with my blankie. I’m crate-trained, “ask” to go outside, behave well in the house, and do many other things just to please you. Give me the chance and I’ll be the best dog I can be for you.

Hi… my name is Ellie,

Adopted 7-1-17

A lady arrived to clean what she thought was a vacant house, but guess who was there? Two little dogs—Bernie and me! After that, we lived in a home with eight children and I was well behaved with those kids, but the landlord said it was too crowded. (Also, there was some trouble with dogs getting along, although we can’t say who instigated it.) In any event, this winding road brought me here and I’m pretty excited because friends say the next step is a forever home—a place full of love and happiness! Sounds perfect to me! I’m a tan 1-year-old female, 25 pounds, probably a Hound mix and definitely adorable. My legs are short, my body is long, and my biggest dream is a loving home with someone wonderful like you.

Hi… my name is Bernie,

Adopted 1-12-18

Give me a little time to get to know you and we could both be making a new friend. I’m a guy who was left abandoned in an empty rental home, and that rough beginning took its toll on my self-confidence. As a result, I may be “a lot of bark” when we first meet, but that’s all bluff and bluster. In a home environment, I can become my true self—relaxed, quiet, more than willing to share your couch. Shelter friends say I appear to be housebroken and definitely enjoy car rides. As for other dogs, I prefer females—they just bring out the best in me. I’m a slender, young adult Hound mix male, small to medium size, and if you give me a chance, I’ll be your happy, loyal companion forever!

Hi… my name is Mickey,

Adopted 7-20-17

Mom was expecting when she was found (thank goodness!) and I was one of her five babies. The family that cared for us included 4 children, ages 1 through 10, with whom I was gentle and tolerant. But after six months, the time came for us to find our own homes. I especially loved my sister and it was hard saying goodbye to her, plus I was shy with strangers, so even though I looked good—a handsome male with a shiny black coat, 17 pounds at 7 months old—I was scared at first. Fortunately, I’m now coming into my own, learning to walk on a leash and how to do the things good dogs do! If you’ll kindly help me grow and learn, I’ll happily be your loyal and loving companion forever!

Hi… my name is Ruby,

Adopted 7-11-17

“Very friendly.” That’s just one of the compliments given to me by the kind stranger who found me in the parking lot of a local store. I was lost, wandering among the cars and people, and it was scary! Fortunately, although my rescuers knew they couldn’t keep me, they took me home for a day and discovered how truly friendly I am. I was very sweet with children and other dogs, they said, and love to cuddle (oh, so true!). I’m a 1-1/2-year-old Staffie mix female, about 47 pounds with a sleek black and white coat, who’s lively and playful. When the volunteers arrive to take me for a walk, I’m so excited I sometimes jump for joy! Can you imagine how happy I’ll be if you say to me, “Sweetie, let’s go home!”
