Pepper

Hi… my name is Pepper.

Adopted August 28, 2015

Pepper comes with Free Vet Care for Life.

After many years, my owner moved and was unable to take me, or my sister, Sierra, with her. We’re beautiful shepherd mix females who were assigned to guard our home, but when our “job” wasn’t needed, we lived outside in a small yard. We are both very outgoing and responsive, come when called, obey the “go to bed” command, and even though we’ve been outside dogs, we’ve proven ourselves here in respecting our “home area” by using our doggie door, so I know we’d be happy finally being indoor/outdoor dogs! We don’t “do” other dogs or cats well, but we’re super people and kid friendly. We’ve been together all our lives, so if you have space and a big heart, you’ll be rewarded with two awesome companions and protectors (who come with Free Vet Care for Life!).

Rosa

Hi… my name is Rosa.

Siblings are SUPPOSED to get along, but I guess there are times even with humans when that isn’t so! My sister and I were adopted from TALGV when we were puppies, but when she started seriously picking on me, I decided that the dogs next door were much nicer companions, so I went to visit them (over the fence!) every day. Well, bringing me back got a bit trying, so my people decided I needed a new home where the dogs were gentle and peaceful like me. I’m beautifully behaved, am smart as a whip, know lots of commands, and am an all-around wonderful girl. I’m a black Lab mix girl who loves people, but have never been around cats or kids. I’m the kind of gal who wants to be near you during thunderstorms, but then I like to be near you all the time, so won’t you give me one more chance at a happy life?

Dawn

Hi… my name is Dawn.

My pal, Dusk, and I were abandoned in early February so my origin is a mystery, but now that I’m here the volunteers are discovering more about my personality every day. I’m still a little shy (I had to board at a local kennel for a while, so didn’t get a lot of one-on-one time), but I’m basically a friendly gal who walks “pretty well” on a leash (the more often I go out, the better I get!), and I really like people a lot when I get to know them. I’m a fluffy, mahogany-colored, Retriever/Chow mix girl, and I’m sure if I had a nice big yard and kids (or another dog pal) to play with, I’d become the loving companion I was meant to be. If you’d give me a chance, I’d be forever grateful.

Bailey

Hi… my name is Bailey.

Adopted April 28, 2015

In 2009 I went to live with my single mom, another dog, and a cat after I’d been “dumped” at a neighbor’s home and have been there ever since. Unfortunately, her circumstances changed and she had to move to an apartment where they only allowed one dog, so “last in, first to go,” made me “odd girl out.” I’m a sweet, high-energy, heeler mix girl, who is housebroken, knows quite a few commands, and loves to play ball (I need a few lessons in returning it though!). I get along well with everyone (well, sometimes I’m a little shy), but since I spent a lot of time in the yard, I could use a little more training so that I can be the perfect companion. If you have a nice, big fenced yard, and time to spend on my education, I know you and I will be the best of friends.

Gracie

Hi… my name is Gracie.

I only spent three days with my rescuers (who found me at the Sahuarita Baptist church, hence my name!), but in that time they said that I was a friendly girl who was gentle and tolerant with their kids, but that I preferred human company over the resident dogs. Apparently I “slept a lot,” but that might just be because I’d probably been living outside for a while since I’ve got a few scars to attest to my less-than-perfect-so-far life. At my age, I may have seen more “action” than many dogs twice that age. I’m a small and pretty, retriever mix, and I’m absolutely positive that if you give me a safe, loving home, you’ll wonder what you ever did without me — and I’ll think I won the doggie lottery with you in my life! C’mon, make that happen for both of us!

Maggie

Hi… my name is Maggie.

I was adopted July 9, 2014.

I appeared on the front porch of a home in Amado last year and stayed there for three weeks while he looked for my owners. During that time there was one of those rare winter storms and I didn’t like being outside in that at all! Well, for now the storms are gone (and apparently so are my erstwhile owners!), so here I am, looking for a safe haven where I can weather the summer monsoons in the home of my new family. I’m a lovely Staffie/Boxer mix girl, and I even know commands like sit, stay, down, and shake, so someone loved me enough to teach me them at one time. I’d make a great watchdog, and although I’m not fond of other dogs (I’ve never been around cats), I adore people and giving kisses, so have great expectations that you’ll want me to share them with you!

Ruby

Hi… my name is Ruby.

Adopted July 14, 2015

RUBY COMES WITH FREE VET CARE FOR LIFE PROGRAM.

She earned/received her AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification on July 6, 2015.

My sister, Diamond, and I lived with our first family all our lives until they lost their home and moved to a place that didn’t allow big dogs like us. A year after we came to TALGV, another couple adopted us and we lived happily with them for two years until they decided to go their separate ways. Our little family consisted of a mom, dad, my sister, and another small dog, but no young kids or cats. (I got along well with older children who visited, but in my enthusiasm, I tend to play a bit rough, so maybe I should avoid small critters in general!). I’m happy to report I’ve earned my Canine Good Citizen certificate, and being 8 years old now, also come with Free Vet Care for Life, so if you want a companionable, well-behaved friend, I’m the lady for you!

Dutch

Hi… my name is Dutch.

I was adopted on April 7, 2014.

I am one handsome specimen of a Boxer/terrier mix guy who was found in July 2009. After I’d been here a while, they wanted to see how I would behave in a “real” home situation, so I lived with a foster mom for a time. You can “read all about it” in her notes, but here are excerpts: “I found Dutch to be calm, quiet, gentle and affectionate. Dutch is not a barker, doesn’t jump and stays fairly calm at home, which is quite different from how he appears in a kennel situation. Although he pulls on a choke collar, he does well with a ‘gentle leader,’ knows basic commands, and plays rough and tumble with big dogs, so maybe avoid dog parks as there are a lot of unknowns there. Dutch will make a great companion for an EXPERIENCED, dog owner.” There’s LOTS more about me at TALGV, so please come see it and then meet me.
