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.

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?

Hi… my name is Sage.

When you have shepherd, Lab, and a touch of “something else” in your genes, you know that you’ve got the possibility of great things going on! An older gentleman adopted me after I’d been at TALGV for a while, and my life was wonderful until he died unexpectedly. A friend took care of me for two months and would have kept me forever, but he already had four rescue dogs and didn’t have the resources to keep a big, active 3-year-old as well. He said I’m crate trained, walk well on a leash (and even off leash in safe places), and stay close to my people. He said, “Sage will be a great pet for an individual or family. She likes exercise and can be trusted to stop and obey commands off leash. She accepts authority from those who are handling her.” With those bona fides, I know you’ll fall in love with me in no time!

Hi… my name is Cooper.

When I arrived at TALGV, I was one sick puppy because I’d been living outside with lots of other animals and hadn’t gotten the nourishment or care I needed. After I got here, I received lots of attention and treatment to make up for it and soon turned into a bouncing baby boy. It didn’t take long for me to find a home, but the single woman who adopted me discovered that “puppy” was more than she had time for, so she felt I needed a place where there was LOTS more activity (and maybe another dog to play with). I’m a delightful young, light-colored brindle terrier/shepherd mix (with the most distinctive and soft coat!), and I’m full of all the pep, curiosity, and joy that teenagers are known for. My mom said that I’m playful, great with other dogs and kids, don’t shed or bark, so you could say I’m the “total package”!

Hi… my name is Sparky.

Adopted 10-6-18

Nature gave me the gift of energy! Even as I’ve grown up and now have some years under my belt, I’m still an extraordinarily lively, exuberant guy. I did have a happy home once—a mom, dad, two small kids, but when their living situation changed, no one had time for me anymore. They felt I deserved more attention than they could provide—especially from someone who could give me training and guidance. Okay, I’ve had some extra training now. And the good things my people said about me are true to this day: I’m a loving, playful guy who’s good on a leash, and loves walks and runs. (I also have a HUGE bark for my size; think “great watchdog.”) So if you’re active and energetic, too, we could be so great together!

Arrived November 17, 2013. Photos updated July 11, 2014.
