Hi… my name is Timara.
Adopted May 4, 2015
There are some dogs that love “canine socializing” just fine, and others that prefer the company of humans to the four-legged kind, and I’d be the latter! I lived with my older mom and dad for two years, but when he had a stroke, mom just wasn’t up to caring for him in addition to giving me the attention and exercise I needed. I got along famously with the grandkids, and loved to play ball and “tug the sock,” so I just know there’s an active family out there for me that enjoys going for long walks (or hikes in the desert — woo woo!), and having a buddy keeping them company ‘round the clock. I’m a striking black and tan shepherd/heeler mix lady who is just ripe for sharing your world!

Hi… my name is Shelton.
Adopted March 20, 2015
Come on now! I know there are people out there who appreciate how positively awesome we cattle dogs are! And I’m no exception! I was found at a Shell station (hence my name!) and although I had a few ticks and minor scrapes, otherwise I’m healthy as can be. It’s obvious I belonged to someone, as I know lots of commands, am crate trained, ride great in a car, am friendly with kids and other dogs, and love to cuddle (especially in bed with you at night!). And then there’s the typical ball, Kong, stick, just-about-anything-I-can-fetch heeler side of me that craves exercise and action! They’re guessing I’m just a youngster, so just think of all the fun you’ll have ahead of you with me showing the way!

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!
