Hi… my name is Cheyenne.

Adopted August 30, 2015

After being rescued six months ago, I lived with a family that included five kids (ranging in age from 12 down to 4), two male dogs, and a bearded dragon! Now that’s an active combination if ever there was one! My people said, “Cheyenne is very gentle with the kids and will make a great walker and lap dog (if you have a big lap!). She is a very well- rounded girl and we all loved the chance to help her. She will make her new family very happy.” Well, now! What more do you need to know (except that I sometimes don’t like female dogs — my only shortcoming apparently). I’m a striking, brindle Lab/Boxer mix who would love the chance to show you just what a fantastic companion I can be!

Hi… my name is Reggie.

Adopted April 14, 2015.

Anyone who’s ever had a Basset hound or a Dachshund can tell you, we’re just about the most delightful dogs in the world — and I’m no exception! I totally ADORE people (and the attention that comes from them!), I have a sweet, happy temperament, love walks and car rides, playing fetch, and am just plain very smart. I’m crate trained, but I’m still working on perfect house manners (my foster mom said, “If I just had one more week…” when she left for vacation). I get along with other dogs (but am not terribly fond of little kids and have never been around cats), so all I need to be the perfect companion is consistency in my training. If you’ve got that, have I got a deal for you!

Hi… my name is Tilly.

Adopted May 4, 2015

If you remember the classic National Geographic cover that featured a family of meerkats standing on a hill, then you’ll know why I look familiar! I have the same dark-ringed eyes and color coat — and am just as endearing as they were in the picture! I’m a 6½ year-old Chihuahua lady who lost her people when they had to move into a new assisted living home. I lived with them almost all my life, and they said that I enjoy smaller dogs, know a few commands (including “off,” but that wasn’t my favorite!), love to jump (I guess I need a fairly high fence, just in case), was protective of my people and home, and loved squeaky toys. Combine that with my sweet personality, and you have the makings of a new best friend!

Hi… my name is Bernard.

Adopted April 27, 2015

It seems I took my life in my paws in order to be rescued! A truck almost hit me when I was crossing Old Nogales Highway, and when the driver didn’t stop I just stood in the middle of the road until the next person did! That Good Samaritan brought me here where the volunteers cleaned me up, fixed quite a few scrapes and bumps, and are now getting to know me more each day. They say that I’m one “sweet soul” who’s as easygoing as can be. I’m an “easy walker,” and just love to be loved by everyone I meet (the old saying “never met a stranger” sure goes for me!). I’m a 78-pound, approximately 5-year-old St. Bernard mix boy who is sure to thank you in myriad ways for making me yours.

Hi… my name is Rascal.

Adopted October 20, 2015

I guess I’m well named, because I’m pretty much what it implies — a big, silly, 50-pound puppy! I wandered into the yard of family on the far reaches of Sahuarita Road one day and never left. They put up “found” posters, but after three weeks of no response, they brought me here to TALGV so I could find the home of my dreams. I’m having a blast playing with my new doggie buddy, and I warmed up in a flash to all the volunteers. Although I‘ve probably never had any real training, I picked up leash walking in no time, and everyone agrees that with time and patience, I’ll be a superstar in the obedience department as well! At 1 year old, I’m practically a clean slate just here waiting for you!

Hi… my name is Buddy.

Adopted June 13, 2015

Like Superman, I can scale tall buildings with a single bound! Okay, not really, but I do like to tackle the odd fence now and again! The people who found me in Rancho Sahuarita’s Safari Park only had me for a week, but said I was gentle and tolerant with their kids (except when they tried to pinch my food and toys!), loved to sleep with them, and adored playing ball. I do need some guidance in the obedience department though, but I’m ever so willing, and want more than anything to please and to fit in, so if you take the time, your patience will be well rewarded. I’m about a year old and a delightful, 27-pound mix of Basenji and something else, and I know we’ll both be happier when I’m by your side!

Hi… my name is Farrah.

Adopted April 11, 2015.

Beauty is not just skin deep! In my case it burrows its way all the way down to my warm little heart! I was found covered with cactus spines and cowering under an RV after being chased by coyotes, and boy was I glad TALGV came along! Now that I’m safe and all patched up, everyone agrees that I am a super sweet, friendly girl who is oh-so-ready for that much-vaunted “forever” home! I have a roommate here and we’re getting along fine, so I’ll bet I’d be okay with a canine friend or two in a new home. I’m a young 24-pound Belgian Malinois mix, and since I’m probably going to be on the small side when I’m grown, I’m told that’s just the perfect “Green Valley” size!

Hi… my name is Lyric.

Adopted March 22, 2015

When your person says, “She’s more than a dog, she’s my best friend,” you know that it was awfully hard for him to part with me. After my dad moved to a new house and his new family developed allergies, I spent a lot of time in the small yard, and everyone agreed that I’m the kind of lady who needs to be with people (I even like cats!). Dad was working long hours, too, so my “attention time” was really curtailed. I’m an über-friendly black Lab mix who’s had obedience training, is gentle and tolerant of kids, and although I’m nervous during thunderstorms, I’m okay if you keep me close. I’d love to spend the rest of my life proving what a super family dog I am!
