Hi… my name is Koda,

Adopted October 1, 2016

People tell me my looks could stop traffic—my striking blue eyes and beautiful black/white/tan coat—and that’s kind of what happened. My rescuer was driving down a Sahuarita street, saw me and stopped to help. Since I had no tags, he used social media to try to find my people, but when no one came for me, he brought me here. He said I was an energetic dog who got along with other dogs at his house, not so much with his cats, and had lots of fun chasing balls. I can jump, too, so need supervision and a high fence when off-leash outside. I’m a 2-year-old Husky mix male, a slender 43 pounds, and through my bright blue eyes I see you and me in our exciting, fun future together.

Hi… my name is Bach,

August 30, 2016

My siblings and I already feel like little champs because we survived one mean experience. We were abandoned in a box—all five of us—and left next to a commercial dumpster. But before you even think about the bad things that might have happened, let’s move on to the important next chapter: We were rescued and brought to TALGV. Timid at first, we were unsure about the big wide world, and then they turned us loose in our run. Yahoo! We started running, wrestling, rolling around; most puppies know how to play, but I like to think we do it with style! I’m one of the boys, tan with a brindle back, 22 pounds and growing, and ready for the gloriously happy experience of meeting you! Won’t you please come see me today!

Jet

Hi… my name is Jet,

Adopted October 8, 2016

Do you know the best part of being a stray dog? It’s when you stop being a stray because people become your friends and they say, “Hey buddy, can I help you out?” Wow! I was so happy when that happened to me! My rescuer found me on the streets of Green Valley, where I’d been scrounging for food and not always coming up with anything; I was hungry and too thin. And I’ll readily admit that I was awfully lonely, especially because by nature I’m a sweet, friendly guy who likes hanging out with people. Now I’m okay, safe and cared for, but I’m watching for you and hoping you’re looking for me, too. I’m the 9-month-old black Lab pup who’s ready to follow your lead down lots of happy trails ahead.

Hi… my name is Daisy,

Adopted August 27, 2016

The place I came from didn’t have electricity or running water, so the first thing I noticed at TALGV was the comfort of air conditioning. Before long, I received something called a bath—the raining indoors thing was weird, but ended up making me feel really good. Since then, I’ve received lots of compliments on my soft brindle coat and I love the attention. Please know that even when I’m feeling shy, your affection is always welcome! Knowing that someone cares makes every day better; it helps with my training as I learn things that good dogs know, and just makes me happy.   I’m a sweet Boxer/Hound mix female, about 48 pounds and 4 years old, and if you could find it in your heart to take me home, I’ll love you back forever!

Hi… my name is Xavier,

Adopted September 23, 2016

When I take a quiet moment to reflect, I appreciate how blessed I am to be here. I was a lost dog, found under some bleachers, so I’m grateful for the food, shelter, and, most of all, the friendly people who take care of me now. And then in some other quiet moments, I’m snoozing, because I’m a lively young guy who expends lots of energy at play and needs his nap time, too! When you come for a visit, you might see me lounging on my bed, but I’ll definitely perk up to meet you. I’m an active 1-year-old Heeler mix male, black and white, kind of little at just under 24 pounds, but full of life. Could you be the one to give me the best gift of all—a loving home!

Hi… my name is Summer,

Adopted September 12, 2016

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Hi… my name is Angel,

Adopted September 24, 2016

Here at TALGV, my roommate has been my mom, Blondie, and that’s been so cool for me. I’m just 5 months old and still little—about 17 pounds (and growing), so being with mom has been very reassuring. Plus, she teaches by example. If you come visit, you’ll see that I already know a lot about eating, drinking, playing, napping, and trotting out in the sunshine to watch the world go by. The volunteers say I’m very cute and smart, too, making great progress on leash training, but I think my strong suit is something I’ve always known—how to love. I’ve loved my mom, my siblings, and chances are very good that I’ll love you, too. So what do you say? Could I be your adorable puppy today and your devoted companion forever?

Hi… my name is Winston,

Adopted August 28, 2016

To stay calm on busy days at the shelter, it helps to be a pretty easygoing guy. The volunteers credit me with just that, saying that even when there’s lots going on around me here, I keep my cool. Granted, I’m a little scared, too, but my rescuer said I was the same at his house; “doesn’t bark,” he noted, and that was in a home with three other dogs. I did my best to be a good guest—being friendly, following basic commands—and after my home wasn’t found and my rescuer brought me to TALGV, I’ve tried to just keep being a friendly, good dog. I’m 17 pounds, a tan Wire Haired Terrier mix male, who may be calm, but you’ll make my heart pound with happiness if you make me yours.

Red

Hi… my name is Red,

Adopted September 21, 2016

I love making that special human-dog connection! We just look at each other and it’s like we’re having a conversation. There’s one question I can’t answer, though, and that’s how did I get lost? Guess the important thing is that I was found and now I’m here, hoping to meet you! The volunteers named me Red due to my extraordinarily handsome red coat (they flatter me), and weighed me in at just under 60 pounds. I’m a young Lab mix male, and my rescuer said I was good with kids. I’m a playful guy who knows how to have fun, plus I’m practicing “sit,” and other such things because I’m eager to please my human companions. How about we meet today, and see if we can make a happy connection of the forever kind!
