Hi… my name is Pretty.
dopted October 5, 2014.
It’s amazing what miracles a little love and patience can work! I had been “living rough” in Arivaca for several months, relying on the kindness of strangers for food. After the volunteers rounded me up and brought me here I was pretty frightened for a while, but as the weeks have gone by, I’m finding that life (and the humans who go along with it) really can be grand and am coming out of my shell more each day seeking attention. I’m a small shepherd mix girl (they think I might have some Kelpie in me, too), and if you spend a bit of time sitting with me you’ll see that all I really want is a safe home and a loving family that I can shower with loyalty and gratitude.

I was adopted September 24, 2014.
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.

Read MoreHi… my name is Buddy.
I was adopted September 18, 2014.
When my mom died a while ago, there was no one in the family who would take my brother and me in (he already found a home, lucky guy!), so I’m hopeful that there are lots of people out there who will be vying to take me home, too! Given my breed mix (Poodle and Maltese — a “Maltipoo”!) you know that I’m a sweet, gentle, lovable guy who adores (make that CRAVES) human attention. I also got along great with all the kids (ranging in age from two to ten) who visited, so just color me an all around great “find” for someone. I not very old, and have lots of living to do, so let’s do it together, shall we?

Hi… my name is Cane.
Adopted July 26, 2015
Cane has earned/received his American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.
My well-meaning family rescued me when I was three months old, but since they’d never had a dog before, raising a puppy was a lot more than they could handle and after six months finally decided I needed a more structured home where I could get consistent training and lots of attention. Well, I’m SO happy to report that now that I’ve been at TALGV for nine months that has happened in spades! I have been trained to sit, down, wait, will roll over for a treat, and have earned my Canine Good Citizen award — WAY more than just your run-of-the-mill obedience certificate! I’m a polite 18-month-old Pointer/Staffie mix boy who totally ADORES kids, and I just know that I’m going to be the loyal and loving companion you’ve always fancied.

Read MoreHi… my name is Cookie.
Adopted December 29, 2014.
My brother, Chico, and I lived with our dad and his fiancée all our lives, but when they parted two years ago, he left us with her hoping he would be able to come for us when he got settled. That didn’t happen though, and since our mom worked long hours and was moving, she couldn’t keep us any longer. So for all you “Chihuahua people” out there, we’re both available to add a little spice to things for you. We hadn’t been getting a lot of attention lately, so we’re really hoping for a “homebody” with whom we can share our affection. We don’t “do” kids well, so an older, settled adult would be perfect. We’re 9 years old and have tons more living to do, so why not join us for the ride?
Arrived August 31, 2014.
