Hi… my name is P J.
Adopted October 8, 2014.
It’s amazing what miracles a little love and patience can work! I had been “living rough” in Arivaca for several months, relying on the kindness of strangers for food. After the volunteers rounded me up and brought me here I was pretty frightened for a while, but as the days have gone by, I’m finding that life (and the humans who go along with it) really can be grand and am coming out of my shell more each day seeking attention. I’m a small shepherd mix girl (they think I might have some Kelpie in me, too), and if you spend a bit of time sitting with me you’ll see that all I really want is a safe home and a loving family that I can shower with loyalty and gratitude.

Hi… my name is Nova.
Adopted November 9, 2014.
My family adopted me a year ago from TALGV after I’d come in because I was jumping the fence to go exploring (well, I was left in the yard all day so was just looking for some fun!). My new people had me for a year, but since they were fostering several really young children they were worried that my “lust for life” was a bit too overwhelming for them. I’m a hound/shepherd mix guy who is affectionate, outgoing, and want to both give and get lots of love. I’m perfectly house-trained, walk well on a leash, and love squeaky toys (and kids!). I need some work on curbing my enthusiasm around people, but then I’ll be a companion with whom you’ll want to spend all your time (both indoors and out!).

Hi… my name is Pinta.
Adopted February 27, 2015
It’s been an exciting few months for me I can tell you! When I first arrived at TALGV I was frightened, hungry, and had several wounds that needed tending, so I’ve spent my time recovering from all that distress. Well, now I’m happy to say I’ve been living with a foster family for a while, and they say that although I’m still a bit shy, I’m very friendly, love affection (and attention!), and love playing with their two dogs. They think that I’ve probably lived in a home once, as I’m totally housebroken and take a shot at the sofa once in a while (didn’t work, but I got a cushy dog bed instead!). I’m a svelte young heeler/shepherd mix who yearns for a settled home where I can feel secure. Pinta passed her American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification test with flying colors on February 16, 2015. Many thanks to her foster parent for assisting with this important training.

Hi… my name is Sasha Jo.
Adopted October 3, 2014.
My family rescued me from a shelter over five years ago, but now they’re moving into an apartment and can’t take me with them. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about me, like I’m an easy rider with a calm temperament, like toys, to sit in the sun, and am a very well-mannered girl who is good in the house, a great watch dog, and LOVE belly rubs. What more could you want in a gal? I’m a beautiful shepherd/Shar Pei mix (note the ears!), who got along fine with “my” 8-year-old grandchild and other animals. I know a few basic commands (but am eager to learn more if you have the inclination!), know what “no” means, and well, I’m practically perfect if I do say so myself! Come find out for yourself!

Hi… my name is Justice.
I was adopted September 5, 2014.
When my heartbroken family relinquished me they said, “Justice is a great dog, she’s house- and crate-trained, sits, shakes, and loves to be the center of attention. She’s a spoiled, indoor, family dog!” My “difficulty” was that I never quite adjusted to the toddler in the house (she did a lot of unwelcome tugging and chasing!), so they decided I’d do better in a home where the kids were a lot older. I’m a lovely medium size black Lab/shepherd mix lady who simply adores people and also gets along with other dogs (as long as they’re not bigger than me!). I’m still at an age where I love to play (and I never dig in the yard!), so why not complete both our lives and take me home?

Hi… my name is Rico.
I was adopted on September 6, 2014.
Whew! I just made it here by the skin of my teeth! I was being chased by a pack of coyotes on Ruby Road in Rio Rico when a rancher drove by and rescued me. He checked out a nearby ranch, but no one was home, so I’m awfully glad TALGV could take me in. I’m a delightful hound/shepherd mix boy and in typical puppy fashion, I love people, romping with other dogs, and just generally being an easy-going, energetic guy. With the good genes from both my breeds, you know that I’m going to be the star of the show in no time!
