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.

Hi… 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?

Hi… my name is Chico.

Adopted January 1, 2015.

I lived with my dad and his fiancée all my life, but when they parted two years ago, he left me with her hoping he’d be able to come for me when he got settled. That didn’t happen though, so for all you “Chihuahua people” out there, I’m a wonderfully sweet gentleman who’s available to add a little spice your life. Although the volunteers here are giving me as much attention as they can (it’s pretty crowded here, and I’m not getting as much as I’d like!), so I’m so yearning for a “homebody” with that I can lavish my affection on. I don’t “do” kids well, so an older, settled adult would be perfect. I’m 9 years old and have tons more living to do, so why not join me for the ride?

Hi… my name is Sasha Jo.

Adopted October 3, 2014.

My family rescued me from a shelter over five years ago, but now they’re moving into an apartment and can’t take me with them. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about me, like I’m an easy rider with a calm temperament, like toys, to sit in the sun, and am a very well-mannered girl who is good in the house, a great watch dog, and LOVE belly rubs. What more could you want in a gal? I’m a beautiful shepherd/Shar Pei mix (note the ears!), who got along fine with “my” 8-year-old grandchild and other animals. I know a few basic commands (but am eager to learn more if you have the inclination!), know what “no” means, and well, I’m practically perfect if I do say so myself! Come find out for yourself!

Hi… my name is Lexie.

Adopted October 10, 2014.

It’s sad to think that your person doesn’t want you any longer! When I was found, they discovered that I’d been microchipped, but when they tracked down my owner, she never came to get me, so that’s pretty much what I’m left to think! I’m getting over it though, and am going to get on with my life with a new family that will appreciate my myriad good qualities. My rescuer said that I was very sweet and playful, got along with kids, and now that I’m here, I’m rooming with another dog, so I get along with her, too. I’m an enchanting 19-month-old black Lab mix girl and at that age I’m like a sponge — I’ll soak up all the training and love you can give me. Why not start today?

Hi… my name is Justice.

I was adopted September 5, 2014.

When my heartbroken family relinquished me they said, “Justice is a great dog, she’s house- and crate-trained, sits, shakes, and loves to be the center of attention. She’s a spoiled, indoor, family dog!” My “difficulty” was that I never quite adjusted to the toddler in the house (she did a lot of unwelcome tugging and chasing!), so they decided I’d do better in a home where the kids were a lot older. I’m a lovely medium size black Lab/shepherd mix lady who simply adores people and also gets along with other dogs (as long as they’re not bigger than me!). I’m still at an age where I love to play (and I never dig in the yard!), so why not complete both our lives and take me home?

Mia

I was adopted by my finder on September 20, 2014.

MIA is a gentle and loving 2 ½-year-old female boxer mix who was found in early August on the roadway in Sahuarita. Finder took her in and was pleased to discover that Mia is fully housebroken and good in the house, is okay with the cat, likes to ride in the car, and is very social and loving to all people. She is up to date on shots and will be spayed soon with help from TALGV. Mia is a 43-pound “velcro” dog who wants only to please and be with her people. It might be preferable if she is the only dog. There is no adoption fee for Mia. To arrange a meeting, please call Susan between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-648-3746.

Oscar was adopted through TALGV’s Offsite program on September 1, 2014.

OSCAR is a sweet 4 ½-year-old Champagne-colored Maltese mix boy who was rescued two years ago by current owner. He is housebroken and uses the doggy door, but he really enjoys his morning and evening walks. He is neutered, is up to date on his shots, has a microchip, and medical records are available. Oscar likes other dogs and is very social with everyone; he doesn’t bark, chew or dig. Cats are unknown. He is not obedience trained but really has no bad behavior and sleeps under owners’ bed at night. At 22 pounds, he is about 4 pounds overweight but that is due to food being down all the time for owners’ older dog. Oscar loves being with his people and prefers to be on their laps but there is concern that owner’s frail skin will be damaged by Oscar’s nails so they feel he would be better in another home. There is no adoption fee for Oscar. To arrange a meeting, please call Jim between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-955-7720.
