Hi… my name is Roxie.

Adopted August 22, 2015

I wish I could tell you my whole story and confide in you what made me shy, but for now will just say that I was so hungry for company that I approached a stranger’s house. He couldn’t keep me, so now I’m at TALGV, where my new friends are helping me build my confidence. They compliment my graceful movements and my beautiful brindle coat. I’m a 55-pound Boxer/Lab mix, so I have an athletic kind of build, but I’m good at stepping gently. Of course, I’d love to feel free to play and know the joy of hanging out with someone whose friendship I can always count on, so if that sounds good to you, too, please come for a visit. We can make lots of happy future stories together!

Hi… my name is Raquel.

Adopted August 17, 2015

There’s not a whole lot to go on for my “story” because I just appeared at TALGV early one morning in May 2015, but when you meet me you won’t care one bit about where I’ve been and what I’ve done! Since there wasn’t room for me when I arrived, I was boarded at a kennel for a while, but everyone who met me knew that I would be a happy camper when I got into a home of my own. I’m a 45-pound, round about 2½-year-old yellow Lab mix (and you know how sweet and smart they are!), so take this opportunity to come meet me so we can talk about our future together!

Hi… my name is Girl (aka Missy).

Adopted August 12, 2015

There are moves, and then there are MOVES! And when my dad had to move to Malaysia for work, their regulations on bringing a dog into the country were just more than he wanted to put me through. Although he’s going to miss me to pieces, he knew that I’m such a sweetheart I’d capture someone else’s heart just like I did his. I used to go to work with him every day, so you know I’m super well behaved and trustworthy. He said that I love chew toys, but my favorite thing is to be in your lap, so I’m hoping there are lots of people out there who have laps that need filling and hearts that need warming, ‘cause that’s exactly what I was designed for!

Hi… my name is Bali (aka Bella).

Adopted February 17, 2016

When my family moved and couldn’t take me with them, I was sad, of course, but right away started believing someone else could love me, too. I remember all the good things I’ve learned, like “sit,” “down” and “stay.” Best of all, I know how important it is to love somebody. I try to show that when I meet new people by wiggling and sometimes speaking in my high soprano happy bark. And once I’ve adjusted to the joy of someone noticing me, I’ll walk calmly by their side on the leash, occasionally looking up just to let them know I’m noticing them, too. I’m a comfy-size adult Boxer mix female with a big loving heart who’d be happy to meet you and thrilled to belong to you. Please come visit me today!

Hi… my name is Angel.

Adopted August 9, 2015

When I was on my own, without a human or a home, I lived under a bridge. Someone was feeding me, but I was always hungry and thin. And when I walked out on the road, trying to find something better, I had some dangerously close calls with cars. Then my life changed in a wonderful way. Today I’m at TALGV. Here, I’m learning what it is to be safe and cared for, and it’s a great feeling.  My sweet and loving nature can shine through now that I’m with friends. And with regular meals, I may soon weigh a bit more than my current 64 pounds. I’m a female St. Bernard mix, about 1-1/2 years old, and if you come for a visit, I’ll show you what a beautiful, fun companion I can be.

Hi… my name is Scooby.

Adopted August 8, 2015

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 Kevin.

Adopted August 7, 2016

I came to TALGV after being noticed at a gas station on Sahuarita Road, in need of help because I was lost. On that lucky day for me, a kind man gave me a ride to TALGV, where now I’m safe and sound. I’m also happy because I get to spend time with people, which is one of my all-time favorite things. My stocky build makes me look athletic, and I do like going for walks, but my best activity is working hard at people pleasing. I’m a Bulldog/Staffie mix male, white with a big brown spot where my tail begins. If you like me, too, it could be my luckiest day yet. Let’s have a visit and see if we’re ready to share lots of happy days together.

Po

Hi… my name is Po,

Adopted October 30, 2015

Life hasn’t always been gentle with me—I had signs of recent wounds when found—but my TALGV friends say I’m a dog version of what humans call a gentleman. Maybe that’s due to my easy-going nature and quiet dignity, but I want you to know that I love to have fun, too.   I love car rides, and if one takes us to a community event, I’ll calmly interact with adults, kids, and most other dogs. At age 7 and 59 pounds, I’m still a strong guy, but you have my full attention when we’re walking together and you can count on me to respond to your instructions. I’m curious, alert, and interested in the world around us. How about we meet today to see if we can enjoy this wonderful world together!
