Hi… my name is Fox.
If you’re looking for an interesting mix of breeds in a canine buddy, take a gander at me! I’m a Corgi/terrier gentleman (with emphasis on “gentle”!) who, after living with my family for ten years, has lost his home. They are moving to a place that doesn’t allow pets (that should be against the law!), so it’s a good thing TALGV was here or I’d REALLY be homeless! My people said that a while back there were other dogs and two kids in the house, but lately it’s been just me and my older mom and dad. They said that I’m perfectly housebroken, love to play tug of war, fetch, will run around for hours, and then want to sit with you and get lots of petting. Oh, and since I’m 11 years old now, I qualify for TALGV’s “vet care for life” program, so what’s stopping you from making me your own?

Hi… my name is Georgia.
Adopted February 14, 2015
Living with a foster family has many benefits, not the least of which is that people find out more about my personality in a “real world” setting! Here’s what they said: “Georgia is a wonderful, lovable dog and enjoys nothing more than a good belly rub. She is completely housebroken, crate-trained, knows “sit” and “down,” likes to ride in the car (AND the golf cart!), and loves people (especially kids!). She will make someone a wonderful pet. She’s intelligent, willing to please, and has a great personality. If you’re looking for a companion who’s loving and loyal, she’s the one for you!” That said, here are my “vitals”: I’m a 56-pound grey and white Staffie girl, so please let me show you the “warm and fuzzy” side of my breed!
Arrived December 29, 2013

Hi… my name is Elliott.
My first family found me when I was about 9 months old, and although they really wanted to keep me, they already had another dog in addition to two teenagers and just couldn’t afford another mouth to feed (even if mine is small!). I went to live with a really nice couple a few months ago, and they said I was very sweet boy who loves to sit in your lap, sleep with you, and play with my ball and stuffed toys. Unfortunately, they both started new jobs recently, and they weren’t home enough to give me the attention (and “continuing education”) I needed, so once more I’m dreaming of my perfect place in life. No one is quite sure of my origins, but it appears that I’m either a young Manchester terrier or Mini-pin mix, so if you have time for me, I sure do have time for you!

Hi… my name is Sashi.
Adopted October 31, 2014.
Sashi has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.
Since I arrived last year, the volunteers have learned a lot about me, and I’m now especially proud to announce that I’ve earned my AKC “Canine Good Citizen” certificate (you can check all the things that qualified me for that on the Internet — just Google it!). They also say, “Sashi is a gentle girl with spurts of energy, and loves running outside in a fenced enclosure. She needs plenty of regular exercise and would love an energetic family. She loves chew toys, tends to be docile, is attentive to children and loves to play with them (but sometimes prefers just being a couch potato!). I’m a 3-year-old, 47-pound tan and white Whippet/Staffie mix and I know with love, patience, and encouragement I’ll be a model friend and one of the best things in your life!
Arrived December 22, 2013.

Hi… my name is Roscoe.
I was only here at TALGV for a few days after I was found when a couple adopted me as a holiday present to each other. Sadly, I turned out to be “too rambunctious” for my disabled mom, so after just a few days, I came back. Although they think I’m about 2 years old, I’m still very puppyish and love playing with practically anything just to be active. While I was in their home, my adopters said that I was “good with everybody,” slept all night, ate well, and was a sweet guy — just too much for them to handle. I’m an endearing Chihuahua mix boy who does need some lessons in house manners (and basic obedience, I guess), but after you’ve invested a bit of time in that, I know that I’ll be your constant companion. What do you say — let’s try to work something out so that we’ll both be happy!

Hi… my name is Gibbs.
When I arrived at TALGV, my siblings were christened the “NCIS” litter, thus my name. Being the charmer I was, it wasn’t long before I was adopted and went to live with a young couple with two teenage kids. Although they didn’t have any other pets, I was around a lot of other animals, and my people said I got along great with them. I’m said to be gentle and tolerant, housebroken, and know basic commands (I’ve never had any “professional” training, so that might be a good thing for me). My people said that I’m very lovable and listen well, but need someone who will be home a bit more (their pet sitter moved away and there was no one to care for me when needed, so it got pretty expensive in a boarding kennel). I’m a young, black and tan Rottie/heeler mix boy, and I’m sure I’ll make this year one to remember!

Hi… my name is Sasha.
I was adopted June 11, 2014.
I was found in October in the desert by my “mom’s” co-workers and since none of them could keep me, she took me home. She had every intention of keeping me forever, but she had to move to a new place that didn’t allow pets. She said I’m really a sweet girl who loved to play in the water with her kids (although as a puppy, sometimes I got a little rambunctious, but a firm “no” got me to stop right away). I’m “mostly” potty trained (I need a little extra outing at night), and I know that with a little education, I’ll have all my ABCs down pat. I’m a charming young tan and white Staffie and Boxer mix girl (my “learning skills” are getting swifter by the day!), and I’ve got high hopes I’ll get to spend the New Year admiring the view from my new home and yard!

Hi… my name is Sage.
When you have shepherd, Lab, and a touch of “something else” in your genes, you know that you’ve got the possibility of great things going on! An older gentleman adopted me after I’d been at TALGV for a while, and my life was wonderful until he died unexpectedly. A friend took care of me for two months and would have kept me forever, but he already had four rescue dogs and didn’t have the resources to keep a big, active 3-year-old as well. He said I’m crate trained, walk well on a leash (and even off leash in safe places), and stay close to my people. He said, “Sage will be a great pet for an individual or family. She likes exercise and can be trusted to stop and obey commands off leash. She accepts authority from those who are handling her.” With those bona fides, I know you’ll fall in love with me in no time!
