Hi… my name is Shelby.

I was adopted July 12, 2014.

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Madi) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “cuddler” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!

Hi… my name is Madi.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Shelby who was recently adopted) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful (albeit a bit shy), black Lab/shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “sweetheart” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!

Hi… my name is Bonnie.

Adopted December 28, 2014.

So you say you like “interesting” dogs? Well, I’m guessing they don’t get much more eye-catching than me! I’ve definitely got Shar Pei ears going on, along with a bit of a husky mask and shepherd body. Wouldn’t it be fascinating if they always did DNA tests on canines so you’d know? In any case, I’m one lovely girl who was found as a stray (sadly, that’s a pretty big club), but even though I was pretty frightened when I arrived, the volunteers say that I now get along great with people, walk well on a leash, and am using my doggie door like a trooper. They think I’m a “few” years old, and I weigh about 30 pounds, so with just a bit of education, I’ll be a well-behaved and loyal friend.

Hi… my name is Ceazar.

Adopted with Maxine on May 16, 2015

My mom and dad are getting a divorce and mom had to move to an apartment, and then to top it all off, dad lost his house, so there was no room for my lifetime companion, Maxine, and me to stay with either of them. I’m  housebroken, leash trained, and get along with other dogs and cats (but kids notsomuch). I’m in great health (but I come with TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program anyway!), am gentle and obedient, and know lots of commands. I get a little carsick sometimes and those summer thunderstorms make me anxious, but other than that, I’m the perfect, laid-back companion. Since I’ve always lived with and depend on Maxine, TALGV has agreed that we should go to a new home together.  My mom said that I’m a mellow, well-mannered fellow who just needs a quiet home where I can be your new best friend.

Ceazar and Maxine come with TALGV’s Vet Care for Life program.

Arrived February 24, 2014

Hi… my name is Arroya.

Yes, I know, the Spanish word is “arroyo,” but since I’m a girl, it got changed “Arroya” just to be gender correct! Whatever the name, though, I’m one sweet, little girl who is  going to be a fairly good-sized gal when I’m grown. When I arrived at TALGV I was one sick little puppy I can tell you, but they’ve taken super good care of me, and now I’m all healthy again and ready to move on with my life with an active family. I’m an utterly delightful and sweet shepherd mix with HUGE ears (I’ll probably grow into them, but it might take a while!) and my foster mom says that I walk nicely on a leash, am “on my way” to house training, and she’s absolutely sure that I’ll be the star of obedience class. So why not “make your year” by making me yours?
