Hi… my name is Tiger,

Adopted 11-21-17

Tiger has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate!

When my previous owner and I parted due to her health concerns, we’d been good friends for 6 years. I think that’s just my nature because being a loyal, devoted companion is what I do best. Oh, you could say I’m “handsome” thanks to my distinctive brindle coat and healthy physique (57 pounds). Also, “single-and-loving-it;” I really prefer to be your only canine. And definitely “well-trained”—I walk beautifully on a leash, and have earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate for my outstanding performance on behavior tests! But the best word for me is friend. I’m up for exercise and play, and for quiet times, too. I’ll be thrilled when you’re happy and understand when you’re sad because that’s what true-blue friends do, and that’s what you’ll get when you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Ivy,

Adopted May 1, 2016

On a cold winter’s day, I was alone, shivering, and about to give birth! Thankfully, some very kind people took me in, and I promptly delivered 8 puppies. What a relief to have my babies in a safe place! I took care of my growing pups until they were ready to be on their own. Now I’m on my own again, too, safe in foster care, with time to wonder what it feels like to truly belong to someone, to be loved in that forever way. Human friends say my day will come because lots of people would enjoy sharing life with a sweet, happy companion like me. I’m a medium-size Lab mix female, brindle with touches of white, and a big hope in my heart that you’ll let me be yours today.

Hi… my name is Buddy,

Adopted March 12, 2016

How does a friendly, great-looking dog like me end up walking alone in the road? We don’t have the answer to that, but I’m sure my future is a lot brighter now that I’m here, where I can meet you! I’m a young black Lab male, 67 pounds, with the typical Lab webbed feet and otter tail. My handsome coat has a gentle wave to it, and you could say the same about my personality because I’m a gentle guy, one who loves the company of people. Going for walks, playing, and just hanging out are all fun things we can share. I’m an even-tempered, people-pleasing guy who excels at being a charming and loving companion. If you think we’d be a good match, please come visit today. I’d love to be your buddy!

Hi… my name is Tory,

Adopted April 2, 2016

When I was found near a busy intersection, I eagerly answered my rescuer’s call. I was friendly right away, but also malnourished and had a skin issue, so my TALGV friends took me to the vet. Today, I feel so much better! My coat may never be perfect, but I have long black silky fur, and with my new healthy diet, I’m now about 40 pounds, a nice size for a 1-year-old Lab mix female. I’m having baths with a special shampoo, and TALGV will continue to support care for the skin condition until it’s resolved. And from my heart, I offer you my sweet personality and people-friendly good nature. If you can introduce me to a life of love and fun, I’m ready! May the next friendly call I hear be yours!

Hi… my name is Bella (Lee),

Adopted June 25, 2016

When I was adopted a couple of months ago, I really liked the people and they liked me, but they said I didn’t get along with their other animals (2 dogs and a cat), so I had to go. Sure, I was disappointed, but now I’m happy to say I’ve made lots of new friends here at TALGV. The volunteers say I’m friendly in an easy-going way, eager to be a pleasing companion, and just plain “good with people.” I’m a Pointer mix female, 3 years old and about 60 pounds, white with black spots and beautiful brindle markings. Commands I know well include “come” and “sit,” and I’m already leash trained. If you come visit me, you’ll make my day. Take me home with you, and I’ll be your faithful friend forever!

Dogg was adopted March 11, 2016

DOGG is an energetic, eager-to-please, 2-year-old, 40-pound shepard mix boy who needs a new loving home. He was found in early January 2016 in the Sierrita Mountains but finders could no longer keep him. He is house trained, has been neutered, loves people, and is progressing nicely with obedience training. Although he is tolerant of other dogs and cats, children are unknown. He has been taught to ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘off’, and how to ’sit, wait, keep eye contact with the feeder, wait for a drop-hand signal, and eat shoulder-to-shoulder with other dogs. He thrives on good hard exercise and could easily keep up with a runner or bicyclist. He does not like riding in a car. Dogg is a very smart, friendly, affectionate dog, is quite starved for attention, and since he demands lots of attention, it might be best if he were an only dog.

Hi… my name is Garfunkel,

Adopted March 13, 2016

I was very happy with my family and got along great with the young kids, a teenager, and a young Spaniel, but had trouble with the senior Shepherd. We just couldn’t stay together, so I had to go, which broke my heart. But the TALGV volunteers assure me I have a bright future, thanks to all my great qualities. I’m friendly and fun-loving, leash trained and energetic, and could be a super buddy for someone active. I have a sweet side, too, and love gentle touches from my human friends. A young guy, 50 pounds, I’m a handsome Boxer/Dalmatian mix, white with some black spots. Already I know “sit” and “shake,” and am eager to learn more. Please come for a visit and let me show you what a great companion I will be.

Hi… my name is Hooch,

Adopted April 23, 2016

When I somehow ended up dodging cars in traffic, things looked dire for me. But, just in the nick of time, a kind human came to my rescue and brought me to TALGV. Even in this safe place, I was shy at first, but I’ve learned that the people here want only the best for me. They think I have the makings of a great companion because once over my shyness, I’m alert, smart, and playful. I’m a 1-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, a handsome guy in my eye-catching merle pattern coat and athletic build, weighing in at about 44 pounds. If you could go for an active, affectionate and devoted buddy, we really should get together. With me by your side, I just know there are lots of happy trails ahead for us!

Hi… my name is Spike,

Adopted with Zero 1-9-18

Oh my, it’s happened again! Two years ago, my brother, Zero, and I could not move with our people because their new landlord did not allow dogs. Now, our person who adopted us back then is moving out of state and cannot take us with her. Zero and I just look at each other and say, “I’m so glad there’s you!” We’re Wirehaired Terrier/Chihuahua mixes, and we’re two little love bugs; we love each other and we also love our people. Cuddling on your lap is my favorite pastime. We’ve lived with a single person, and with a family with children, so we’ll fit in almost any home. We hope to stay together as we love romping with each other, so please double your fun and double your love by taking us home today!
