Hi… my name is Petey,

Adopted with Bentley 11-27-18

Petey has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

On seeing me today—happy, friendly and carefree—you might be shocked at how tough things were back when I was found. There was a heavy chain around my neck; fleas, ticks and sores all over my body. But even then, my rescuers said I was affectionate and eager to please; gentle, tolerant, and playful with their kids. That good nature carried me through the tough times and makes the good times even better! I’m a lively and fun-loving guy, just under 70 pounds, happy to see my friends, but no cats, please! Oh, you might like to know I’ve earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, awarded for my awesome performance in the behavior department! Yes, I’ll be a great companion for some wonderful someone, and I hope it’s you!

Hi… my name is Wally.

Adopted January 23, 2016

Wally has earned/received his American Kennel Club (AKC)  Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.

I was found in the Walgreen’s parking lot (hence my name), and my finders and the TALGV folks agree that I’m a happy-go-lucky 40-pound older pup. I’m proud of my Canine Good Citizenship Certificate, proof that I know my basic commands, and I love all activities: walks, playing fetch, swimming in doggy pools. Car rides are cool with me, and I behave well at community events, like Farmer’s Market. (TALGV friends are also helping me learn advanced commands.) I’ll gladly offer my belly for rubbing, and I bond well with kids of all ages, toddlers to adults. Most other dogs and cats are okay by me, too. I’d be the perfect fit for a person or family with lots of activity, so if that sounds like fun for you, too, let’s get together today!

Hi… my name is Munny.

Adopted March 17, 2015

I’ll let my foster mom tout my virtues because they’re pretty awesome! “Like the action figure toys that she’s named after, Munny (a 3-month-old heeler/SharPei mix) is perfectly named because she’s a blank slate that her new family can take down multiple paths.  She’s super smart and has already mastered the sit and down commands, making her an excellent candidate for obedience school. Her athleticism makes me think she could also make a great agility dog when she gets a few months older, but she’s already got some pretty smooth moves around the furniture and in the yard!  She’s crate-trained and sleeps through the night has a good start on housetraining. That’s all pretty impressive for a puppy that still has all her baby teeth! And did I mention she’s cute as a button?”

Hi… my name is Kali.

Adopted February 27, 2015

When my family brought me home to live with their teenage kids, three cats, and three other dogs, they found that the dogs tended to overwhelm me (although I enjoyed the kids and the cats), so decided I’d be best as an only canine. At heart, I’m a playful gal and love playing ball and with my Kong, and while initially I’ve been a bit anxious here, every day I’m getting more comfortable with the routine. The volunteers say that when you interact with me one-on-one, I just light up and focus on how best to please you. I’m a black Lab/Staffie mix, only about 11 months old, so there’s still a lot of puppy there just ripe for molding into what everyone wants in a housemate: pure perfection!

Hi… my name is Dreidl.

Adopted August 15, 2015

Dreidl comes with TALGV’s FREE Vet Care for Life.

If you’re looking for a “true” rescue story, then lend an ear to the tale I have to tell about my two friends Candy, Claus, and me because we’re shining examples of what a difference a little (well, a LOT!) of attention, care, and good food can make! We were rescued on Sahuarita Road when a Good Samaritan stopped, opened his car door and we all gratefully piled in. We each had serious cases of mange, were undernourished, frightened, and were in urgent need of care. Well, that was before Christmas, and after many weeks of that loving care, we’re all turning into gentle, laid back dogs who want nothing more in life than safe loving homes where we can strut our new stuff! Oh, and we come with TALGV’s Free Vet Care for Life, too!

Arrived December 20, 2014.

Hi… my name is Boots,

Adopted December 14, 2015

Boots comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

Just because there’s a little grey on my face, doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot of spring in my step! After my dad died, I was at sixes and sevens ‘cause we were together all our lives, but now that I’m here, I’m showing everyone how much I adore affection. They say I’m especially enamored of belly rubs and behind the ear massages, and I love demonstrating my mastery of “sit” and “down” commands. I walk nicely on leash, but since I’m not overly fond of other dogs, I do tend to pull a bit when encountering them (they think I’m just being protective of my “person”). I’m a senior Lab mix lady (so I come with Free Vet Care for Life), who is definitely ready to be back in a home setting!

Arrived February 2, 2015.
