Adopted 5-25-23

Bugsy is an affectionate and smart 15-month-old, 21-pound, Pug/Boston Terrier mix male that needs a new home because he no longer gets along with his brother. He is house trained and asks to go out. He is in good health, neutered, up to date on shots, and medical records are available. Bugsy loves to catch balls and is very playful, but he would benefit from more leash training. Other dogs and cats are not his friends; children are unknown. He will sit for treats but can be slow to warm up to strangers. Bugsy is a gentle and loving companion who prefers to share your bed.There is no adoption fee. If you will welcome Bugsy into a loving home as part of your family, please call Matt any time at 520-490-6791.

Hi… my name is Glory,

Adopted with Honor 9-10-23

Once upon a time there were three puppies who came to TALGV together, and I was one of them! Volunteers said I was friendly even on that first day, probably because I’d been around people before. But living indoors was new to me and I’m loving it! Oh, I’m an active pup who loves playing outside, but having my own comfy, safe place inside, too, is probably what a forever home feels like. I hope so.  These days, I’m practicing leash-walking and learning what important words like “sit,” “down,” and “wait” mean. I’m also eating well and growing, on my way to being a good-size dog. I’m an affectionate, beautiful black and white Husky/Staffie mix female who’d really like to meet you. Won’t you please come visit?

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Hi… my name is Banner,

Adopted 3-10-24

First, let me say I can run, jump, and get dirty like any dog. Indeed, I love going to the play yard to chase balls, jump in a pool in warm weather, and happily engage in rowdy play with a canine pal. But there’s another side to me, too. I know how to be calm and loving, grateful for a person’s attention and affection. Recently some volunteers gave me a bath and described my behavior as perfect, “an amazing gentleman” during the bath, gorgeous and soft afterward. I share my run with another dog and he’s fun company but some of my favorite times are with friendly humans. I’m a handsome Husky/ Staffie mix male with a black coat and white markings, who’d welcome the chance to share playful, tranquil, and contented times with you.

Hi… my name is Honor,

Adopted with Glory 9-10-23

On my first day here, when a volunteer looked into my deep brown eyes and said, “Welcome to TALGV,” I didn’t know what to think. But I do now! I’ve always had fun playing with my siblings or people, but now I think my learning job is fun, too. For instance, I enjoy practicing with volunteers on what to do for words like “sit,” “stay,” or “wait.” (I’m already good on “sit” and learning more.) I love being outdoors and active, so working on leash-walking is also important for me. As a Husky/Staffie mix female, likely to grow into a good-size dog, I look forward to regular exercise with my person. So, what do you think? Will an active, friendly, growing and learning pup be fun for you? Please visit me and we’ll see!

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Hi… my name is Henry,

ADOPTED 5-25-23

H – Is for Handsome, I’m a 30-pound Beagle mix, age 3.
E – Is for Ears, they are long and floppy
N – Is for Nose, which seeks out scents greatly
R – Is for Ready for you to Rescue me
Y – Is for YOU, in a home with whom I could be.
Okay, so maybe I won’t be a famous poet, but I could be the next best thing: your newest family member. A Good Samaritan found me alone on a busy road and tried to find my family – but no luck. While I was friendly with them, their big dog scared me. I will need time to adjust and learn your household routine because I’m rather shy. Once I feel safe, I’ll be your loyal companion – forever! Let’s take the first step!

Hi… my name is Sedona,

Adopted 9-2-23

Like the famous town known for its peacefulness and beauty,  I long for a forever home where calmness reigns. My prior environment was like living in New York City: too much of everything – people, activity, noise. It’s overwhelming for a 30-pound adorable girl with big ears like me. Now that I’m at TALGV, I’m finding my inner peace while enjoying the security my crate provides me. The human friends I have made here know that I will be their BFF for treats. I love toys, know several commands, and am house-trained.  I’m working on my leash manners so that we’ll be able to leisurely explore our surroundings together. Are you an introvert like me, preferring small groups over crowds? Peaceful over hyper? Relaxed vs. restless? If so, we won’t need much more than each other.

Hi… my name is Annie,

Adopted 5-24-23

Guess what I have in common with cats, monkeys and some frogs? We can climb trees! Yes, I wandered onto a kind family’s property – who tried unsuccessfully to find my family – oh boy, they were surprised to learn my trick! Okay, aside from that amazing feat, I do have others: I seem to be okay with cats AND am a pro at leash-walking. TALGV thinks I’m a cattle dog mix.  Mixed with what? Awesomeness, of course! Maybe you can tell from my bio, I’m a girl who likes to make friends. Do you have a secure yard – with trees safely away from any walls or fences – LOL! So far, I haven’t learned to jump over them, so it’s best not to make it easy for me to do so. Don’t wait! Come meet me today!

Hi… my name is Rosey,

Adopted with Joey 5-28-23

COMES WITH VET CARE SUPPORT FOR LIFE

My pal Joey and I shared many happy years with our former person, but things changed, and now we must find someone new to love. As best friends—two little dogs who love, support, and keep each other company—Joey and I must go to the same home. I’m a 10-year-old, 10-pound Poodle mix female who’s been playful with kids, good in the house when our person was gone, and “asked” to go outside. I’ve also been told I’m friendly and very good at cuddling, plus I come with Vet Care Support for Life! Joey has lots of charms, too, and with two of us to love, we could double your pleasure, double your fun. And just think how grateful we’ll be to have a happy home again, together, with someone wonderful like you.

Hi… my name is Lucky,

Adopted 5-21-23

If anyone has the right to lay claim to a name, that would be me! I was found, all alone on a dirt road, in the mountains of Rio Rico. Boy, was I a sight for sore eyes, dirty and covered with thorns and sticks. The lady who rescued me took me to her home where I met her canine family of three, a Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever. During my stay I enjoyed their companionship. Since arriving at TALGV, I’ve learned how to play fetch with my new toy. I’m a happy, affectionate, playful  fellow who can be protective of my person (barks at strangers). I’ll need some all-around training (house and basics), along with patience and unconditional love. If you’re ready to take that step, I’ll love and follow you anywhere!

Hi… my name is Lily Lu (aka Mila),

Adopted 10-24-23

I’m an almost 8-year-old female Staffie mix who’s basically a happy-go-lucky, people-loving dog! I’ve been good in the house when left alone, have asked to go out, can use a doggie door, and know a couple of commands. Even though I haven’t been a fussy eater, according to my previous owner I can’t eat carrots! I’m affectionate and playful, and as I previously mentioned, I love people but can become possessive of an individual. When it comes to walking on a leash, I do pretty well. I will need a strong, knowledgeable handler to keep me on the straight and narrow when meeting other dogs. In fact, I need to be your one and only pet! Don’t worry; as your loving, faithful companion, I’ll be all you’ll ever need!
