Hi… my name is Izzy,

Adopted 2-22-23

Have you ever felt like the new kid in school?  Everyone’s a stranger, routines, noises and even my bed and food bowls are different. I was nervous when I arrived and quite shy with everyone.  My prior life was with a family for six months, but their other dog and I started to not get along. They felt I’d be a better fit with a different family, one I could find with the help of my TALGV friends. So here I am. Thankfully, the volunteers are allowing me the time to show them who I am (besides being a beautiful one-year-old, 40-pound shepherd mix). So far? I like toys, playing fetch and going on walks with my volunteer friends. Maybe you and I can be friends, too. Let’s meet and find out!

Hi… my name is Bebe,

Adopted 3-9-23

My friend Chubbs and I were brought to TALGV after being left to our own devices for some time. I am real friendly with people. I’m also quite young and energetic and, as they tell us here, I don’t know much. Apparently there is more to being a dog than playing with each other and getting petted by the two-leggeds! The folks here have started to teach me a few basics, but they say I still need to find someone with a firm but loving hand to teach me what I need to know to be a well-behaved companion in someone’s home. That’s a nice word, “home,” and I am willing to try real hard to have one of my own! Is there room for me in yours?

Hi… my name is Polar,

Adopted 2-11-24

People tell me I’m a remarkably handsome shepherd, commenting especially on my beautiful white and beige coat and deep brown eyes. That’s nice, of course, but even better is when they see me as a friend—someone to have fun with. I share my run with another dog and every day we run and play together, sit in the sun together, and tolerate each other’s quirks, like when I occasionally use a high-pitched voice to say “no thanks” to a walk. Fun with human friends includes playing fetch, sharing quiet times, or working a canine puzzle and they tell me how smart I am! Of course, I’ll meet my best friend when someone takes me home and we love each other forever. Please come visit and see if we could be that happy match!  (bio updated 12-28-23)

Hi… my name is Obsidian,

Adopted 12-22-22

I’ve been waiting for this! I can’t wait to tell you how Onyx and I came to be at TALGV. Oh! Onyx just told me he already mentioned we were found in the area of Old Nogales Highway and Madera Highlands. We’re both handsome boys, approximately 3 months old. I’m the one with the fluffy ears! I’m ready for my very own forever home. Naturally, since I’m a playful, exuberant puppy, I expect a lot of attention and affection. I guess it will be your privilege to patiently potty train me, and teach me the basic commands. It’s not that I’m asking for a lot, just a loving, secure home with my own special someone(s) to share it with. I’ll be your faithful companion, who’ll love, honor, and obey you (mostly). I promise!

Hi… my name is Crockett,

Adopted 11-11-23

How or why I ended up at the Pilot Travel Center just outside Tucson is still a mystery. Thanks to a concerned person, I was rescued and transported to TALGV where I was scanned for a chip (which I have). It appears I started out in Texas, but after a couple of calls, even though they knew who I was, no one there could actually claim me. I can’t understand why! True, I’m a little rambunctious, but who wouldn’t be under these circumstances. I’m friendly, can use the doggy door, and (might) sit for a “good” treat. Now that my traveling days are a thing of the past, I need a stable home, with a family to share it with. Just look for the handsome young Bull Terrier/Shepherd mix. I’ll be waiting for you!

Hi… my name is Vista,

Adopted 12-28-23

My trainers say that I am smart, pick up commands quickly, and walk well on a leash. Okay: they’ve also said that I am a bit stubborn. I’ve met some not-so-nice people in the past and it takes me a long time to make friends. But once I like someone and trust them, I will be a loyal companion forever! Perhaps you are a bit of a loner yourself? Someone who spends a lot of time reading or taking long walks by yourself? Perhaps I could keep you company, spend the day near you, and go along on those walks? Oh, you already have a doggie companion? That’s great! I live with a kennel mate and I would love to have a doggie show me the ropes in my new home as well!
