Raven

Hi… my name is Raven.

Adopted Deceber 24, 2014.

Not to toot my own horn, but here’s what the volunteers are saying about me: “Raven is one of the best dogs we’ve had in a while. Besides being a wonderful mom, she’s house trained, loves people, walks well on leash, and wants to be a big lap dog.” The police and firemen rescued me when they responded to a call about Africanized bees and found me (and my nine puppies!) in a wire enclosure, so you know that I’m really happy to be here! My babies are all adopted now, so I’m free to get on with my life. I’m a striking, 60-pound black Lab mix lady who will undoubtedly make any Lab lover’s heart go pitty-pat, so come on down and visit me and see for yourself!

Budger

Hi… my name is Budger.

Adopted April 18, 2016

After being rescued from a motel room (it’s a long story), I’m super grateful to those helping me find my forever home. One is my wonderful foster mom. She understands I’m so shy that sometimes I can’t be friendly with new people. But once I get to know you, she says, I’m a “Major Snuggle Bunny!” She’s shown me the joys of living in a home, and praised me for learning house manners so quickly. I’m getting REAL good at meeting new dogs, being sociable, and learning to become comfortable with new people. I don’t “do” cats well, but with people I know, I’m a lovable, sweet boy; a 70-pound, yellow Lab/Staffie mix who’d love to get to know you. If you feel the same, TALGV will call Foster Mom and we’ll meet soon!

Arrived April 3, 2014.

Chloe

Hi… my name is Chloe.

I was adopted on April 12, 2014.

After my senior mom’s husband died, her kids kindheartedly gave me to her for company. I began life with her as a fairly small puppy, but, as these things go, I quickly developed into an 18-month-old, high-spirited teenager, got a lot bigger (well only 30 pounds!), and became “too much” for her. She taught me lots of commands though, and being an Australian cattle dog, it took no time at all to learn them, so for you people out there who think my breed is just the best there is (I certainly think so!), I promise that I’m going to be the dog of your dreams. I love people, am GREAT with kids, well behaved, and am a happy-go-lucky gal who wants to share all the joie de vivre I have with you!

Sampson

Hi… my name is Sampson.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

I guess you have to associate “big and strong” with my name. Well, I am that, but I’m a big people lover, too! I was found wandering on Sahuarita Road near the pecan groves, so naturally not much is known about my past, but the volunteers will tell you that I walk well on a leash (okay, I get distracted sometimes, but MOSTLY well!), am housebroken (I use my doggie door and NEVER have an accident in my room!), and will make some lucky family that has experience with guys like me a great companion and friend. I’m about 2-3 years old, and a genuinely handsome brindle mix of Boxer and Staffie, so do us both a favor and let me shine my light in your direction!

Shelby

Hi… my name is Shelby.

I was adopted July 12, 2014.

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Madi) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “cuddler” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!

Madi

Hi… my name is Madi.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Shelby who was recently adopted) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful (albeit a bit shy), black Lab/shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “sweetheart” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!

Shannon

Hi… my name is Shannon.

I was adopted on April 25, 2014.

Bonnie

Hi… my name is Bonnie.

Adopted December 28, 2014.

So you say you like “interesting” dogs? Well, I’m guessing they don’t get much more eye-catching than me! I’ve definitely got Shar Pei ears going on, along with a bit of a husky mask and shepherd body. Wouldn’t it be fascinating if they always did DNA tests on canines so you’d know? In any case, I’m one lovely girl who was found as a stray (sadly, that’s a pretty big club), but even though I was pretty frightened when I arrived, the volunteers say that I now get along great with people, walk well on a leash, and am using my doggie door like a trooper. They think I’m a “few” years old, and I weigh about 30 pounds, so with just a bit of education, I’ll be a well-behaved and loyal friend.

Hazel

Hi… my name is Hazel.

Adopted January 14, 2015.

When you learn that I was left to fend for myself when I was a puppy over three years ago, and that compassionate neighbors fed me ever since, I hope you’ll understand my current shyness (although they say I’m coming out of my shell more each day). My “caretakers” did say that during their interaction with me, I got along with kids and wasn’t at all aggressive — I’m just unsure of humans right now. I’ve learned to walk nicely on leash and enjoy the company of other dogs, so I’m sure that the time the volunteers are spending with me will be rewarded when I come out of my shell and turn into the wonderful companion I was meant to be. I’m a shepherd mix lady who just needs patience and love.

Arrived March 18, 2014.

Martin

Martin was adopted 3/5/14

Ginger

Hi… my name is Ginger.

It’s not that I didn’t love kids (mine), but I have to say I am SO happy that I won’t have raise any more! When I was found on Abrego Drive, it was obvious that I’d had a litter recently, but they were nowhere to be seen, so I hope some good soul found homes for them. I’m a 20-pound, round-about 4-year-old, “Puggle” mix (that’s Pug and Beagle in case you didn’t figure it out!), and I’m super fond of people (and probably kids too), walk well on a leash, am housetrained, and just generally a wonderfully sweet lady. Given that I’ve been around the block a few times, I’m going to be ever so happy to settle down with an active family who will let me have the rest of my years (and they’ll be quite a few!) enjoying their attentions and being the loving companion that I’m meant to be without the distractions of motherhood!

Dolly

Hi… my name is Dolly.

Adopted November 23, 2014.

I arrived with my sister, Polly, in 2007 after we’d been found abandoned. It wasn’t long before we went to live with our mom and life was glorious until she died unexpectedly. A neighbor took us in, but when our relationship with her dogs declined, we came back one more time. Polly has found a home of her own, so now it’s just me, dreaming of a family that will bring joy to my life, too. I’m approximately 8½ years old (so I come with TALGV’s “Free Vet Care for Live Program”), am perfectly trained and as is characteristic of my breed, I’ll be the most loyal and protective of companions. I’m a black, 55-pound, Chow mix and have great expectations that I’ll be able to brighten someone else’s life for the holidays.

Dolly comes with TALGV’s FREE “Vet Care for Life” Program.
