Hi… my name is Panini,

Adopted 11-30-16

I arrived at TALGV with a badly matted coat, so I was really happy to get my hair cut! I’d also faced being dropped off at a farm where I couldn’t stay permanently. (The word “dumped” was used, but that’s so harsh, it made me feel almost as uncomfortable as those miserable tangles.) At the farm, there were 3 other dogs and 3 cats, and we all got along. There were some little kids who scared me; I’d shake when they came around, but, nevertheless, the people there said I was “very loving” and “very playful.” The volunteers here add that I’m also “very dear.” Won’t you tell them that we need to meet? I’m a 7-year-old beige Shih-Tzu male, a little guy (12 pounds) who’ll bring a lot of joy to your days!

Hi… my name is Sissy,

Adopted 12-3-16

I was rescued from a homeless shelter, and I’m thankful for the happy turn my life has taken. My rescuer kept me at her place for a month, where I lived with 8 other animals—small dogs, cats, and a parrot—and she said I was friendly with them all. I was still learning (she said I’d flinch when objects came toward me), but proved to be leashed trained, smart, and teachable… kind of the perfect dog guest! Now I’m friends with the volunteers here, and they give me high marks for lovability, too. I’m 1-1/2 years old, about 56 pounds; a sweetheart in a brindle coat. If you look in my soft brown eyes and can see the love and loyalty I have to give, won’t you agree we’re made for each other!

Hi… my name is Harper,

Adopted 12-29-16

One day a woman looked up and there was a black Lab puppy in her garden! It was me, happy to be in a safe, friendly place. The people there were very kind to me, but as much as we liked each other—I even got along with their cat—it just wasn’t the right time for a dog in their lives. So now I’m here, looking for love on a permanent basis. Of course, I’m mainly interested in you, but the volunteers say I should tell you about me, so here goes: I’m about 8 months old, 48 pounds, a sweet, playful guy, always eager to please. I even like training time! Plus walks, car rides, and—most of all—being the loyal, good-natured dog my person deserves. Could that person be you?

Hi… my name is Sassy,

Adopted 10-30-16

My motto is “let’s have fun every day!” The woman who found me said that at her house I loved to play with other dogs, loved chew toys, loved treats, and I agree—play, toys, treats, they’re all good! But my finder has 10 other dogs and cats, so she sadly let me come to TALGV. Happily, the volunteers here like me, too; they say I’m “very, very sweet,” (and you know they extra-super mean it when they say “very” twice). At just 5 months old, I’m continuing to learn things good dogs know, and my training should go well since I’m what people call “real smart.” Can’t hurt that I’m real loveable, too! I’m a slender, 27 pound brindle and white beauty, whose happiest day yet will be when you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Shadow,

Adopted 11-11-16

When our dear person died, no one in her family could adopt us—that is, her other dog, Chabella, and me. Guess I should call that her human family because Chabella and I were definitely part of her whole family. Then, good news came fast: I’m thrilled to say that someone wonderful adopted Chabella, and now we hope I’m going to be next! I’m little—an adorable 3-year-old white Terrier mix female who weighs just 10 pounds, so yes, you could say I’m pint-size, but please know my heart is big enough for full-size love. TALGV has helped me get ready for a happy future and you can imagine how excited I am to think my magical day could be here soon — the day my wonderful someone takes me home forever!

Hi… my name is Calvin,

Adopted 7-26-17

Calvin has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When I was found in a grocery store parking lot, folks weren’t sure what to call me. So a DNA test was done, which showed I’m part Bullmastiff, Chow Chow, Staffordshire Terrier, Samoyed, and other mixed breeds. TALGV volunteers say I’m also part angel because I’m a loving, good sport, who walks well on a leash, likes to play, cuddle, just hang out with good people, or do whatever you ask (especially if you have cheese or a hotdog to share). To demonstrate my good manners, I earned the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen certificate, the gold standard for behavior programs; my vocabulary includes words like sit, down, stay, and more. I’m an easygoing, handsome (one blue eye, one brown), 3-year-old male, 72 pounds, ready to be someone’s loyal best buddy. Are you ready, too?

Hi… my name is Rocky,

Adopted 11-12-16

My name is Rocky, but friends say I could also be called Sweetie, thanks to my charming personality. I like that, and I like them! I’m a happy guy, especially in the company of good people. That’s kind of how I was rescued. Some people were hanging out in front of their friend’s house when I just walked up and joined them. They couldn’t keep me forever, but in the three days we were together, I was gentle with the children, ages 8 through 16, showed them I was leash-trained, and obeyed “sit,” “stay,” and “come here.” They described me as “sweet, loving, and well mannered.” I’m a 3-year-old Staffie mix male, about 73 pounds, strong and super nice. How about you let me make you happy, too, by being your ever-loving sweet companion.
