Thumper

Hi… my name is Thumper.

I was adopted July 27, 2014.

When your dad works for the Border Patrol, I guess you have to be prepared to move around a bit. Well, I was ready to go, but unfortunately, the place where dad was transferred didn’t allow pets, so he very sadly had to give me up. He said, “Thumper is a great dog, well behaved, smart, and loving, and I would have taken him with me in a heartbeat if I’d been able.” I know LOTS of commands — sit, stay, shake, speak, kennel (or “house”) — am perfectly house and leash trained (and have good “recall” even off leash), so you know I come with lots of super “bona fides.” I’m a young Rottie/shepherd mix boy who just wants another person (or an active family) to shower my affection on.

Riley

Hi… my name is Riley.

Adopted January 16, 2015.

The first thing you’ll probably notice about me is that I only have three legs. The second thing will be that it doesn’t make one bit of difference to me! No one knows why I lost my leg, but I adjusted to the loss a long time ago so I’ve pretty much forgotten that I ever had four! I lived with a little family for two months after a friend gave me to them, but they had another small dog and two young kids (all of whom I got along splendidly with), and they really couldn’t devote the time needed for my education. I’m a lovely (and loving!) brindle-colored Lab/heeler mix lady who’s yearning for a family and place of my own to make my life compete.

Lyric

Hi… my name is Lyric.

Adopted November 22, 2014.

I was born on April 23, 2013, so unlike a lot of pets whose origins are a mystery, you’ll know exactly when to celebrate my birthday each year! The family I lived with for nine months said, “Lyric is a very good and smart dog who craves attention. She loves kids very much and gives kisses like no other.” My only “problem” was that I was too rough with their older female dog (at my age, I’m still into romping!), but I’m getting along with my “roomies” here just fine! I’d love to find an active family that wants a devoted companion to join in the fun. I’m a striking, lanky, black shepherd mix girl who, with patient training and love, is going to turn in to one statuesque and well-behaved beauty!

Blaze

Hi… my name is Blaze.

I was adopted July 7, 2014.

Trooper

Hi… my name is Trooper.

Adopted Septemver 26, 2014.

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

Katie

Hi… my name is Katie.

I was adopted July 7, 2014.

I guess all pet owners hope that they’ll outlive their companions, but that doesn’t always happen. My dad was a loyal supporter of TALGV for many years, so I’m sure he’d be happy knowing that I’m in good hands now. I lived with him all of my life, so you know how close we were and how much I’ll miss him. His neighbors said, “Katie is a great dog and would be a wonderful companion to just about anyone but kids.” (I guess they felt that at my age, kids would be a bit too much for me to “take on” at this stage in life!) I’m a lovely tri-colored shepherd mix, and my dream is to find another quiet home where I can spend my golden years making one more human happy.
Katie qualifies for TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program.

Emma

Hi… my name is Emma.

Adopted February 4, 2015.
For a young gal, I’ve got quite a few commands under my collar! I know “sit, outside, come, crate, and no” (the last two are particularly handy when training a puppy apparently!). My family only had me for a month, so given that I’m fairly proficient in those things already, you can bet that it’s going to be a walk in the park for someone who has time for my education to round out my training. I loved the kids I lived with (all three were very young and I was gentle as could be with them), but I sort of overwhelmed the resident dog with my exuberance, so my family decided I needed a place where my sweet, playful self could be the center of attention and get ALL the love!

Maisy

Hi… my name is Maisy.

Adopted February 25, 2015

I come with super references from my young family, but they were about to add another little human to the mix and had another BIG dog, so I was a bit more than they could manage. My mom said that I’m a sweet girl who loved to sleep with the kids, was good with other dogs, know sit, get down (off the bed — but I’d stay if you’d let me!), loved to ride in the car, and am perfectly housebroken. I’m a Staffie mix lady who is loving and eager to please, so if you’re looking for a really “special something” in your life, I just know I’ll warm the cockles of your heart! Oh, and the volunteers say that for anyone who always wanted a stocky pot-bellied pig, I snuffle and snort just like one without all the fuss!

Arrived May 20, 2014.

Abbie

Hi… my name is Abbie.

Adopted September 21, 2014.

If you’ve ever navigated the intersection of Abrego Drive and Continental Road on foot, you’ll appreciate how terrified I was to be roaming there for two weeks! The neighbors finally convinced me that there was a lot better place for me to be, and here I am! I’m still pretty nervous about things (the leash most of all, but I’m learning) but other than that, I’m a quiet, calm girl and welcome human contact with its attendant pets and belly rubs. I’m a 7-month-old shepherd/heeler mix and weigh 22 pounds, so I’m going to be one of those “just the perfect size” dogs when I’m grown. Being here in the safety of my room, I’m sure it won’t be long before my days on the streets will be just a distant memory.

Bear

Hi… my name is Bear.

Adopted April 18, 2015/

Six years ago, my dad rescued me from a home in a trailer park when the family was being evicted and planned to leave me in the desert. Thank heavens for him! Unfortunately, his circumstances have changed and he can no longer keep me, so he prevailed on TALGV to find me one last, big-black-Lab-loving home. The folks here say that although I’ve got a way to go in the formal training department, I yearn to spend my time having lots of “people contact.” I walk well on a leash (with anyone who’ll take me for a spin!), and get along okay with other dogs (there were five of them in my other home), so if you want a guy who craves attention and to join you in your daily activities, I’d be the perfect fit!

Bear comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.
