Bailey

Hi… my name is Bailey (aka Lady),

Adopted with Bentley B 12-22-17

I grew up with two other shepherds in outdoor kennels. Then Bentley and I were adopted together, and we soon learned how wonderful living indoors with people can be! But a human roommate became allergic to us and so now we’re back, hoping for one more chance to share a happy home with caring loved ones. I still take time to warm up to people I don’t know, but once acquainted, my sweet nature shines through; I can be a great cuddler and thrive on your attention. I was gentle and tolerant with three children in my former home, know a few commands and how to walk on a leash. A beautiful tan, black and white 3-1/2-year-old female Shepherd mix, I’m shy but am hopeful that you’ll see how great we can be together.

Roseanne

Hi… my name is Roseanne,

Adopted 1-1-18

Child abuse doesn’t just happen to humans. I arrived at TALGV with a massive wound on my head and taken to the vet where they discovered that I’d also had a recently broken jaw. After months of treatment and recovery, I’m living with a foster mom (who thinks my injuries were inflicted with a shovel), and she says that despite everything, I’m a sweet, happy girl. I have sight and hearing loss on my left side and have some neurological damage (mom says that I’ll be “locked forever in a puppy world” as my learning curve is a bit slow), but I love people, get along fine with the resident dogs and cats, am housebroken, and am learning to walk on a leash, so everyone is hoping that I can find a super special person to give me lots of love and consistency in my life. If you consider me when you’re ready to “pay it forward,” you won’t be sorry!

P.S. Things you should know about me (from my foster mom): I’m hearing and sight-impaired on my left side. I have permanent neurological damage (sort of like a Down Syndrome child). My tail wags almost all the time. I didn’t used to know what toys were, but I’m learning. I’m learning to trust people, too. I go into my crate (my “safe place”) if I’m frightened. I’m housebroken (I go to the door). I like dogs and cats (especially dogs!). I’m a sweet, happy girl who gets along with all people and kids. I am getting better and better with leash training every day. I need patience and consistency and a “pattern” to my life.

And most of all: I need time and understanding and guidance and love.

Lobo

Hi… my name is Lobo,

Adopted 11-24-17

After my buddy Stella (a Rottie mix) and I escaped from their place, our people brought us here so we could find a home where we’d be more likely to happily stay put. I arrived with a significantly injured toe, which has been treated and I’ve been a brave and good patient. That’s not a big surprise—although relatively young and active, I’m a sweet guy by nature. My former people called me “a loving dog,” and said I was gentle and tolerant with children (ages 9 to 16)—indeed, they said I was “great with kids”—and got along with other dogs. I’m a Husky/Shepherd mix male, 63 pounds, with blue eyes, a gorgeous white coat, and a great big heart. I’m going to be someone’s loving companion forever—could it be you?

Buddy

Hi… my name is Buddy,

Adopted 7-14-19

Buddy comes with Vet Care Support for Life

After my dear owner died, her daughter said this about me: “Buddy needs to know someone loves him. I don’t think he had a very good life before my mother adopted him.” But once I was with her, my life was blessed with care and understanding. I had two doggie housemates and our person loved us all! Now, alone again, I have some concerns. I’m head shy and sensitive to touch of my hind end, maybe from past injuries; please understand it’s not personal. We don’t know if I’d get along with other dogs now, and we don’t think I should be in a family with children. Most of all, I need kindness, patience, and the freedom to be me—an 11-year-old male, 59 pounds, who has learned what love is. May I share it with you?

Curtis

Hi… my name is Curtis,

Adopted 9-24-17

One hot August day, I was running down I-19, lost and very much in need of a safe place and some water. Then something wonderful happened. A gentleman stopped and rescued me from that dangerous situation. He brought me here, where the volunteers immediately said I’m what they call “a very nice dog.” (They didn’t mind at all when I immediately put my hot paws in a bucket of cool water.) Oh, I’m still playful—just 2 years old, so I’m lively and energetic, but also mature enough to sometimes just settle and enjoy the relaxing company of my person. I’m a 59-pound Shepherd mix male, handsome with interesting ears, and I’m lucky to be here. I’ll be even luckier, and forever happier, if I get to go one more place—home with you.

Rezi

Hi… my name is Rezi,

Adopted 8-27-17

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Bellie

Hi… my name is Bellie (aka Amidala),

Adopted by Soldier’s Best Friend 9-26-17

When I arrived here, I was like the new kid at school—shy, quiet, willing to just stand back and watch everyone else. Then a kind volunteer visited me, and brought cheese and chicken with her. Well, I know a good thing when I smell it! We became friends and now I’m showing more of the real me—sweet, loyal, and lovable. My former person (who couldn’t keep me after his move) said I was good in the house when he was gone, but “skittish” around strangers and some men. Maybe you can help me with that. I’m a beautiful 18-month-old Shepherd mix female, black, tan and white, just 47 pounds, with some things to learn, lots of fun to have, and endless love to give. Will you show me how good life can be?

Kaylee

Hi… my name is Kaylee,

Adopted 10-20-17

When I first came to TALGV, I’d been lost and wandering with my dog friend Lenny. We were adopted separately, but now I’m back because I could not live peacefully with the other dog in my new home. You could say I prefer the attention that comes with being the only dog. I love people—my owners said I love kids and big people, too. Plus, I’m very smart, leash trained, housebroken, and know commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “leave it.” I’m a red Shepherd mix female, about 39 pounds on a slender build, alert (have you seen my ears?), and in my dreams I picture our fun times ranging from playing ball to hanging out on the couch. If that would be good for you, too, let’s start today!

Keta

Hi… my name is Keta,

Adopted with Chancellor 8-29-17

Comes with Free Vet Care of Life

My buddy Chancellor and I were great pals to our family, but one thing we couldn’t fix: The kids were allergic to us. So now we’re available to join another family—a household of one or more. I’ll probably make the change just fine because I’m one of the calmest dogs around—nothing much rattles me. And I love big people and kids, too (our human mom said I was great with her babies). All my people friends appreciate my good manners—housebroken, leash-trained, great in the car, know several commands—plus I can be independent and enjoy my alone time. An adorable brindle Shepherd/Staffie mix female, 57 pounds, I’m 10 years old and have FREE Vet Care for Life, so there’s lots to love about me. If you agree, we should be together!

Ginger

Hi… my name is Ginger,

Adopted with Dulce 9-9-17

My sister Dulce and I had a fabulous home, but happiness there ended when our people divorced and moved away. Fortunately, we have each other—two sisters lovingly bonded to one another. We love to cuddle, (sometimes pretend to be lapdogs), splash in a wading pool (do not swim though), or just play and have fun. We’re good on walks, friendly to other dogs and people, (I’m a littler shyer than Dulce), know commands, are extremely alert and loyal to our person. (Btw, we like to be brushed and even enjoy a shower!) Dulce and I—who want to stay together—are 16-month-old Queensland Heeler/Shepherd mix females, I’m 43 pounds, she’s 38. We’re both beautiful, (I’ll sometimes do the adorable head tilt when listening) and we’ll bring happiness with us when you make us yours.
