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.

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!

Hi… my name is Marcus,

Adopted September 30, 2016

I was out for my morning jog when a woman ran up to me… Okay, I’m kidding. My rescuer was the one jogging, and I ran up to her because I was lost. Fortunately, she liked me right away and agreed to help me out. She took me home for a week, where I enjoyed spending time with her three children and four dogs. After no one claimed me, she brought me here, telling volunteers that I know the commands “sit” and “stay,” and like to play soccer and baseball! I’m also leash trained, so we can have all kinds of fun together—hiking, sports, or just hanging out. I’m an active young Boxer mix male who’d make a great addition to lots of households and has a heart full of love to give.

Hi… my name is Pasha,

Adopted 11-27-16

I was found in a dangerous position—walking down the middle of Sahuarita Road! (The pecan fields can be tempting if you’re hungry.) After rescuing me from that peril, my finder let me spend two weeks with him, but he couldn’t keep me forever, so I’m still looking for my special someone. I’m a 2-year-old Boxer mix, a nice medium size female with a beautiful brindle and white coat. My finder said I used their doggy door, would get down when told to, and got along well with other dogs. I’d say my best feature is my super sweet nature, but please don’t take my word for it! Tell my TALGV friends you’d like to meet me and let me show you up close and personal what a great dog I’ll be for you.

Adopted August 13, 2016

Sancho is a handsome 50-pound, 10-year-old, neutered male collie/staffie mix. He loves other dogs and is lonely without his recently lost companion. Sancho was adopted as a puppy from the Sedona Humane Society. He is neutered and in good health but owners are no longer able to keep him due to personal circumstances and want him to have a new loving home. Sancho is sweet and affectionate and prefers being indoors. He loves to play and take walks. He does well with kids over 5. All of his gear will go with him. There is no adoption fee.

If you would welcome Sancho into your home and heart, please call Katie between 8 AM and 8 PM at 928-607-9814.

Hi… my name is Jose,

Adopted August 20, 2016

I was a lost little dog, depending on the kindness of strangers, when I wandered into a yard I’d never seen before. Luckily, the people there were very kind indeed. They took me in and kept me for a month, but since they’re gone to work all day, there just wasn’t enough time for me. So they brought me here, where I can meet someone who’ll want me forever! I’m a sweet Rat Terrier mix male, tan and white; a great size for cuddling and playing at just 9+ pounds. Plus, I’m friendly—I’ve been very happy to meet children here at the Animal League. Won’t you please stop by today, even if it’s just to say “hi.” Who knows—we might become instant friends and you’ll be the one to welcome me home.

Hi… my name is Randi,

Adopted September 29, 2016

When we meet, you’ll see why the volunteers call me “sweet and petite.”   I’m a slender Shepherd mix female, only about 29 pounds, a little bashful but so delighted to see you that I’ll greet you with my bright-eyed happy look. You’ll probably notice my left rear leg isn’t exactly normal, and that’s when my story gets serious. I was found dragging my legs. Who knows what had happened, but x-rays demonstrated both back legs were fractured. I bravely faced the required orthopedic work, recovered nicely, and now I’m leash trained and love to play catch! I’ve learned commands including “sit” and “go outside,” and my rescuer said I was good with people and animals. These days, I’m a happy puppy with a long life ahead, and I’d love to share it with you!

Hi… my name is Baby,

Adopted 4-2-17

Please don’t let those white hairs around my muzzle fool you. I was somebody’s baby 6 short years ago and now, since it’s a term of endearment for the sweet dog I’ve become, we can say I’ll be somebody’s baby again. But first, I must tell you the sad reason I came here. I’d lived with my person for six years, and then came the day when she passed away. Her family brought me here, confident that someone new would love me, too—especially since I’m so friendly, gentle with children, and well behaved off leash. I’m a happy, brindle and white female, a little over 50 pounds, who just wants to love and be loved. If you welcome me into your home, you can be sure I’ll welcome you into my heart forever!
