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!

Hi… my name is Spock.
Adopted September 1, 2015
My brothers, McCoy and Kirk, and I were named after Star Trek characters because we’re out-of-this-world adorable! Well, that’s what we tell each other and I’m hoping you’ll agree. Here’s our short story (we’re only 2 months old, so you know it’s not long): A kind person found our mom and two other Chihuahua females. Turned out Mom was expecting us and when we arrived, that doubled the dog number to 6! Once old enough, we were brought to TALGV in hopes of finding happy homes for each of us. We do puppy things very well—eat, sleep, play, sleep more, play more—you get the idea. I’m 4-1/2 pounds, light tan, and if you have a big heart for a little guy like me, we could be happy together for a long time.

Hi… my name is Trefor.
Adopted January 23, 2016
I used to live where there were just too many dogs in one place. Now, I’m comfy at TALGV and grateful for the great care, but still dreaming of a home of my own. The best part of the dream is a person or family, someone I’ll share every day with—probably someone like you. I’ll do my part in our happy home, being the good dog who knows good behavior, and also a quick learner ready to learn lots more. I’m great on a leash and love the big outdoors, so walks will be fun for us, too. Best of all, I’ll build my world around you, making it my job to please you every day. I’m a 4-year-old male SharPei/Hound mix, 51 pounds, and am really hoping you come take me home today.

Hi… my name is Chrissy.
Adopted February 14, 2016
Things changed in my once-happy home and my people can no longer give me the attention I need. We’re hoping someone else will have more time to share and we can be happy together. I’m already have some important dog lessons down pat; I know “sit,” “come,” “stop barking,” and “lay down.” Since they call me a Greyhound/Mastiff mix, you won’t be surprised to know that I like to run—sometimes very fast. I also like to play with squeaky toys. It’s been tough for me to leave the only home I remember, but I did get into mischief when left alone so much and so I need a good friend. I’m a beautiful brindle female, and if you have the time and patience, I can be your faithful companion.

Hi… my name is Spectrum.
Adopted August 8, 2015
I looked like a “goner” when found sitting in the middle of of a busy road, unable to stand. Fortunately, when rescued, I was okay 30 minutes later. The doggie doctor said I was probably overheated and dehydrated. With proper attention, I am feeling great again. Somewhere along the line I was eating well because I’m kind of stocky at 14+ pounds on my Chihuahua-mix frame, but I’m still a little guy. I have a sleek black coat with tan markings, and at 3 years old, I’m happy to have fun and glad to take it easy, too. I know I was a lucky guy to be rescued from that rough life on the road, and now I’m all set to enjoy my second chance at life with you.

Hi… my name is Cali.
Adopted 12-20-16
Cali has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.
I cannot exaggerate how grateful I was to arrive at TALGV. I was left here in a small crate, malnourished, with fleas, and expecting puppies! Happily, my ten pups were born in this safe place, all’s well with them, and now I’m ready for my forever home. I’m a lovable white and black Staffie mix, about 56 pounds, who knows basic commands, how to play fetch and ball (they say I’m good at it), and I even run through an agility tube. Love and affection are my middle names, and I thoroughly enjoy getting out and about. TALGV friends have taken me to the farmers market, adoption fairs, and hiking in Madera Canyon. Of course, the best place on earth is a place called home and that’s what I dream of sharing with you.
