Chispita

Hi… my name is Chispita,

Adopted 8-4-19

If you are familiar with español, you may know that my name means sprinkle or spark. I am an exceptionally beautiful, calm and mellow shepherd mix female of only 8 months. Even though my family decided it was best to part ways, they reported that I am gentle with children from 3 to 14. They also said I got along with two other dogs in my former home. Although I can be slow to warm up to strangers, if given enough time and attention, I do start showing my loving side. You would probably guess that I do enjoy treats; they motivate me to quickly learn proper manners. Come by and visit so I can show you a “chispita” of puppy-style love.

Beauty

Hi… my name is Beauty,

Adopted 7-20-19

Aptly named, I’m a black (and silver) beauty and a sight to behold (maybe that’s what caught your eye). It’s hard to imagine anyone abandoning me (and my friend, Duke) anywhere, but at least they had the decency to do it near a vet! Fortunately, they found us quickly so we didn’t have to spend too much time out there alone. You may think that with such a rough start in life, I’d be kinda shy, but because of the warm welcome I received at TALGV, I’ve developed a real friendliness to people (and have even learned to sit before getting food!). At 42 pounds, there’s lot of me to love, so come do it!

Angel

Hi… my name is Angel,

Adopted 8-4-19

When my former people were asked about something unusual in my appearance, they answered, “curly tail.” I love that! They might have said, “missing left rear leg” because I am, but I get around so well they instead chose the tail thing. Yay for me! They’re lovely people, but said their joints couldn’t keep up with walking me every day. I do love my walks and I’m no slouch in that department—can keep up and keep going, but also love when we rest and you pet me. They described me as “playful, good-natured, friendly, and obedient.” If you’d like more, I know some commands, was housetrained at my former home, and I’m cute as a button. So if you’d like a sweet dog with a loveable personality, we should get together real soon!

Emily

Hi… my name is Emily,

Adopted 6-9-19

I was left behind at a dog park, but I wasn’t alone. A kind person was watching all day and when no one came for me, she took me home that night. She said I was a bit shy but warmed up quickly, and preferred to be with someone rather than left alone. I have a nice disposition, she said; got along with her dogs and rode well in the car. She trimmed my long nails, and then brought me here, where I’ve enjoyed regular walks (I’ve been good on leash) and quiet times with gentle friends. A medium size female, born in 2010 and probably a shepherd mix, I’m still shy sometimes but always hopeful. Someone will see what a good, mature, loving dog I am and will take me home for good.

Cher

Hi… my name is Cher,

Adopted 4-21-19

I’ve been told I have an elegant appearance—sparkling eyes, gorgeous coat—and that’s a very nice introduction. But I’m hoping you’ll want to know more. For instance, my former people didn’t want to give me up (after 2-1/2 years together), but there were human health issues involved. They praised me for being well behaved and easy going, housetrained, leash-trained, and responsive to commands like sit, come and stay. Of course, all that’s good, too, but again, there’s more. I can be a charming and loving companion, one who thrives on giving and receiving attention. Guess you could say I’m lively but sensitive, too—definitely happiest in the role of companion. So now I’m watching and waiting, hoping that you’ll give me a chance to add my own kind of canine love to your life!

PS Those are my baby pictures at end of the gallery.

Coco

Hi… my name is Coco,

Adopted 3-30-20

Comes with Vet Care Support for Life.

I was adopted as a puppy. Eight years later, I’m back at TALGV, since my Dad had to move and couldn’t bring me along. It has taken me a while to reattach to new friends, but now, my volunteer trainer says, “Coco is a turn-key dog!” I’m a smart female shepherd mix who loves to learn. When on an overnight visit, she said I settled in, didn’t jump up on the furniture, learned quickly which room was off limits, and slept with my moo cow next to her bed. I loved my recent outing with another volunteer who took me for a fun car ride, then a good walk, and a yummy Puppuccino at Dutch Brothers! I come with Vet Care Support for Life and a heart that will be yours forever.

Simba

Hi… my name is Simba (aka Scorpio),

Adopted 3-15-19

I was adopted as an adorable little Shepherd mix male puppy, and now—because my former person moved and couldn’t take me with her—I’m back, still adorable but bigger. I’ve learned a few things along the way, too, (I’m leash trained, understand “sit” and “down”), and happily discovered how much I love to play, cuddle, and exercise. At the Animal League, I’ve also had the chance to spend time with children ages 8 and older, which helped me imagine how wonderful it will be when someone loves me forever. My dream life includes that someone, who’ll spend time with me for active fun, learning, plus gentle moments together. If that could be you—if your heart will open up and let me in—I’ll always try to make you glad you chose me.

PS Yes, that little pup in the photos is me!
