Hi… my name is Nala,

Adopted April 2, 2016

I’m came here, along with my dog buddy, Pearl, because our people moved to one of those “no pets allowed” apartments. It’s tough being left behind, especially when you’ve done nothing wrong, but we’re okay. Like many dogs, we’re quite capable of making the best of today, staying open to new friends and fun. I’m a 2-1/2-year-old black Greyhound/Labrador mix female, 59 pounds, sleek and beautiful. Some say I’m elegant looking, which is nice, but I expect you’ll care more about my sweet nature and calm temperament. I walk well on a leash, have good house manners, obey “sit” and “paw,” and I’m generally polite to people. Best of all, I’m an easy-going companion, charming and loving, who’ll be ever so grateful for a home where I’ll be loved forever. Could that be with you?

Hi… my name is Chiquita,

Adopted 3-13-17

One evening, shortly before sunset, my friend Chico and I were left in a small wire crate outside TALGV—a terrifying and nearly defenseless position for two little dogs. Who knows what might have happened overnight, but, fortunately, someone spotted us in time and took us inside. As you might guess, we were each leery of people at first, but turns out that here they’re offering only good things, like food, a soft bed, and gentle affection. I like going for walks with one of my new friends, and I’m learning that together we can relax, play, and enjoy each other’s company. I’m a spirited, slender, tan and white 3-year-old Chihuahua mix female, who’s hoping you’ll welcome me into your heart and home today. With me, you’ll have your own joyful Chihuahua love forever!

Hi… my name is Pearl,

Adopted June 7, 2016

I’m a happy, enthusiastic girl despite losing my first home through no fault of my own.   My person wanted to keep me, but the landlord wouldn’t allow it. She still really wanted me, so I was kind of “on hold” for a while, but eventually it became clear that I must have a new place to live. So, here I am, putting on my best smile and looking forward to a happy future. I’m what people call “optimistic.” I’m also pretty smart, according to the volunteers, so with some human help, I could become a well-trained companion. I’m a 40 pounds female Pointer mix,  white with some cool tan markings (especially around my eyes). Please come for a visit and I’ll show you what a fun-loving friend I can be.

Hi… my name is Ginger,
Adopted April 2, 2016

When I was just 3 months old, my mom left me in a wash. Before anything worse could happen, some humans found me and eventually brought me to TALGV. While with them, they said, I enjoyed playing with children and got along with cats, but was slow to warm up to men. I’m 22.8 pounds, a 5-month-old female Sharpei mix with a smooth tan coat and a sweet, quiet disposition. For fun, my favorite things are playing in water, playing with dogs I know and like, and cuddling with gentle people. I’m still very shy at first, but making progress with my patient friends, so if you could love a bashful but extraordinary pup like me and help me become the wonderful grownup dog I’m bound to be, please come meet me today.

Hi… my name is Kiki,

Adopted 10-21-17

Kiki has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I came to TALGV “highly recommended.” My former people—who loved me but had to give me up due to a serious illness in the family—described me as super smart, playful, and loving. I’m a beautiful 5-1/2-year-old black and white female, about 55 pounds, and once I warm up to new people, I thrive on praise and affection. As far as behavior in general, I proved my personal excellence by earning my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate—a gold standard in the dog world. And for fun, I love playing in water, car rides, and quiet times, too—happy just hanging out with my special someone(s). I can’t tell you how much I’d love to have a home again and if that could be with you, I’ll give you all my love forever!

Ray

Hi… my name is Ray,

Adopted March 25, 2016

I’m one lucky puppy in a litter of lucky pups, but that wasn’t always the case. My siblings and I weren’t welcome where we were born and we might have ended up trying to fend for ourselves (which conjures up scary thoughts of dangerous things). Instead, we were brought to this wonderful place, where we’re safe, cherished, served nutritious food and taught things dogs need to know. Turns out puppy life can be comfy and fun! Yes, puppies require lots of love and care to help us grow, but we also brighten your world as only puppy love and joy can. Please come share our happiness. I’m Ray, a good-looking 3-month-old Shepherd mix male, black with tan and white markings, and I’m hoping you’ll like me so much you’ll want to take me home!

Hi… my name is Peaches,

Adopted 12-31-16

Peaches has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Back when I was lost, I’d wait until nighttime, then crawl up on a cushioned wicker chair in a stranger’s atrium and sleep there. I thought I was without a friend, but that wasn’t so. Soon, some kind people came for me and brought me here, where I’m safe, comfy, and everyone likes me! They say my name suits me because I’m so sweet-natured, and they praise me for being calm and gentle. I can be bashful, but I’m also good with most people because I love their company. Maybe you’ll like being with me, too. How about we meet today and find out! I’m a soft-coated brown and white Staffie mix female, a little over 1 year old and about 57 pounds. There are lots of happy years ahead—let’s spend them together!
