Butter

Hi… my name is Butter,

Adopted 3-23-25

I’m a young shepherd-mix boy with a BIG, fearless, and friendly personality! I was found abandoned and brought to TALGV by a kind person and instantly won over everyone with my eagerness to learn new things: Doggie door? Check. Fetch? Master level. Walking on a leash? I was born to do this! I’ve spent time in a foster home with another dog where I learned how to prepare for when my forever family shows up to adopt me. Are YOU someone who understands there’s no such thing as “too much puppy?” We grow up. Sometimes we even turn into big dogs. We need training. We need to work our brains and bodies to be the best we can be. If you can commit to the above, I’ll melt your heart like…well…Butter!

Vanilla Wafer

Hi… my name is Vanilla Wafer (aka Nilla),

COMES WITH VET CARE SUPPORT FOR LIFE

I’m learning the world isn’t so scary. Walks are my favorite—especially those with a bunny scent! I’m getting braver every day: strangers don’t scare me like they used to, especially if they have a calm, friendly dog. I’ll need a few meetups at my favorite park to get comfortable, so please let me go at my own pace. I’m house-trained, use a doggie door, and know a few commands. Once I trust you, my silly side shines—perhaps relocating shoes or the remote. I love toys, car rides, and splashing in a kiddie pool. My foster buddy helps boost my confidence, and I’m discovering how fun being a dog can be. No little kids for me, but a patient heart? Yes, please! The best things in life—like me with Vet Care Support for Life—are worth working for.

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.

Oreo

Hi… my name is Oreo,

Adopted 3-7-25

COMES WITH VETC CARE SUPPORT FOR LIFE

Did you know “America’s Favorite Cookie” now has Vet Care Support for Life? Yes! Even perfection can be improved upon. Have I come a LONG way! I’m now in a foster home with two other dogs who have guided me on how to make the most of this experience. Being the Smart Cookie that I am, I’ve quickly learned the household routines: play time, feeding times, outdoor/potty times, walk time, bed times. I would definitely benefit from having a friendly canine companion in the home. A kiddie pool would be a big plus in the summer. While I’m shy when meeting someone new, you’ll earn my trust if I’m given enough time, patience and treats. I may be America’s Favorite Cookie, but do you think I can be YOURS?

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.

Rico

Hi… my name is Rico,

Adopted 4-19-25

Imagine two little dogs tied to a stop sign under a piece of cardboard with the words “Free puppies.” Heartbreaking, right? Well, I was one of those sad pups, but that was many months ago. Today, I’m glad to tell you, I’m enjoying life as a happy and playful young dog with lots of friends. On my first adoption I was too strong for my former person, but she liked me a lot. She said I was kind, loving, and well behaved with people and dogs. (Not so much with cats.) Being here gives me the chance to learn more good-dog lessons and I’m having fun with other TALGV dogs and the volunteers, but I do dream of home. If I can belong to you, I’ll be your loving, loyal, and grateful dog forever.

Kibo

Hi… my name is Kibo,

Adopted 1-25-25

When my dad was being deployed and we said our sad goodbyes, he assured me I was ready for a wonderful new home because, he told me, “You’re an amazing dog!” Maybe he said that because I’m a girl who can easily make friends with people and other dogs. Although sometimes shy, I’m soon friendly, and I love to run and play with other dogs. In quieter times, human friends praise me for being naturally sweet and affectionate. I’m a tan and white shepherd mix, 42 pounds at one year old, who’s been housetrained, understands words like “sit” and “lay down,” and does pretty well on leash. (We shouldn’t bark at trucks, right?) So, yes, I’m ready to be someone’s loving, loyal and playful dog in a wonderful forever home. Could you be my someone?

Cinnamon

Hi… my name is Cinnamon,

Adopted 12-14-24

Like my spicy namesake, I’m a warm hug on a cold day. My puppies and I were left to fend for ourselves, and I was happy to land at TALGV so someone else could help look after them. I’ve probably been a mother a few times, but I look forward to an empty nest and a chance to find my own, special home. I have the sweetest personality, and I love when people come in and give me scratches. I’m quiet at first but I warm up quickly, and since I’m a mature lady I’d really like a bed by the fire and a chance to relax and bond with a special family. If you open your home to me, you’ll find your feet will always be warm and your heart will always be full.

Holly

Hi… my name is Holly,

Adopted 1-26-25

If only everyone realized that dogs don’t have a ‘self-training mode,’ there would be fewer of us looking for homes! I’m a petite 38-pound Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and an infectious enthusiasm for life. I’m working hard with my volunteers to fine-tune my leash manners, especially when I spot other dogs, and I’m making great progress! I’m smart, eager to learn, and have tons of energy to share. What I need now is a committed family looking for a happy, energetic girl who understands that a few minutes of reinforced training each day will help me become my best self. I’ll reward you with affection, cuddles, and a belly to rub. Ready to go on adventures? I am and I can’t wait to meet you!

Queenie

Hi… my name is Queenie,

Adopted 11-24-24

I arrived at TALGV right after being found in the same area as my puppies. I was very shy but am now coming out of my shell. I’m done being a mom; now I have fun doggy friends and a bright future as a single lady. I am very sweet, which everyone can tell by the full-body wiggle I give when I see one of my friends. I prefer quiet walks and naps at home to loud areas—even though I walk well on the leash, cars scare me a bit. I may be a little quiet at first, but once I get to know you, you can expect plenty of love and loyalty from me. If you have a warm doggy bed and an open heart, I’d love to be your new best friend.
