Hi… my name is Warwick,

People see my muscles and think I moonlight as a gym trainer. Truth is, I’m more of a “personal play” instructor—just ask my foster family. I used to let my brother DJ handle the social stuff while I focused on important things like sniffing, flexing, and deep thinking. But now that I’m doing my own thing, I’m learning that the world’s not so scary—and that meeting new people can actually be pretty great (especially when treats are involved). Toys are starting to look interesting, too. I’m still cautious about weird noises and surprise objects, but every day I get a little braver and a lot more fun. Under this boulder-bench-pressing look is a sweetheart who just wants to trade belly rubs for loyalty.

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet us soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day. (Note: Figgy’s Memorial Adoption Fund will donate  half of the adoption fee for Warwick and DJ.)

Hi… my name is Milo,

Adopted 8-9-25

After a few years on the singles scene, I am ready to find love at last. I am a golden-eyed, younger guy (well, I’m 6, but I feel 3) who is looking for a companion to go on walks, play, and snuggle on the couch with. I am easy-going and enjoy the company of other dogs, scratches on my rump, chicken, and cheese. If I do say so myself, I’m quite handsome and well-built (I work out), and I’m a complete gentleman. I do have a fun side, though, and my big smile is practically world famous. My only weakness is that I tend to wiggle a lot when I’m happy to see you. If you are also ready for commitment and want to take the leap with a guy like me, come visit soon.

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.

Hi… my name is Delilah,

I’m Delilah, a gentle, affectionate girl who’s ready for a fresh start. I love exploring the world and make a wonderful walking or hiking companion, especially on crisp mornings. I’ve met a few other shelter canine residents through calm, guided introductions and did quite well. When I see other dogs on walks, I can get excited, and with continued training I’m learning to focus on my handler and take reassurance from my person. I know several commands, including sit, down, and place, and I’m fully house and potty trained. I’m a happy, wiggly soul, so a home without young children would be best—I sometimes forget my size when I’m feeling joyful. I thrive with kind guidance, routine, and love, and I’d be so grateful for a home to help me shine.  (1-26)

Hi… my name is Ayzi,

Adopted 7-11-25

My name is pronounced “A-Z.”  It’s unique, like me. I’ve got everythingyou’re looking for: I’m a one-year-old heart-melter with a soft spot for nice people, chill dogs, and cozy crates. I walk like a dream on a leash (seriously, I’m leash royalty), and while I am hard of hearing, that just means I don’t freak out over the doorbell. Want my attention? Just give a little wave or put something near my sniffer—no jump scares here, promise! High-energy dogs? Meh, not really my vibe. I’m more of a “let’s stroll and sniff the roses” kind of gal. I came to the shelter after my finder couldn’t keep me, but now I’m ready for my forever person. So don’t wait—this sweet, silly, and slightly soundproofed girl is everything you’re looking for – from A to Z!

Hi… my name is Honey,

My name fits me pretty well!  I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and gentle voices, I warm up and show my sweet, affectionate side. I’ve been wonderful with other dogs and have shared space with several shelter roommates. Funny thing is… they keep getting adopted. Some folks say I’m a good-luck charm! I could use a little luck myself.  Time in foster homes has helped me shine. I have polite manners, I’m house and potty trained, and I enjoy peaceful walks with my doggie and volunteer friends. I feel especially confident when another dog is around, and I take comfort in calm routines. My friends can’t believe I’m still waiting, but I know the right person will see the gentle soul I am and give me the chance to truly blossom. (1/26)

Hi… my name is Jack (aka Lloyd),

Adopted 6-22-25

When I came to TALGV after my owner of eight years had to rehome me, it didn’t take them long to figure out that my favorite things, in order, are: chasing balls, snacks, and chasing balls. Yes, I am an excellent walker on a leash. Yes, I enjoy scratches and belly rubs. Yes, I’m housebroken. They say I’m well-behaved and very sweet (oh, and handsome). The people here really love when I smile at them, and I figured out quickly that smiling gets me plenty of snacks, so I guess I’m also smart. I’m basically the total package! If you have snacks, like throwing the ball, and want a best friend for life, I may be the guy for you. I don’t need a lot, but I can offer a lifetime of love in return.

Hi… my name is Kris,

Adopted 6-9-25

 I may be tiny – a “pocket pittie,” but don’t think I won’t run the show, and I’ll start by stealing your heart! I got my name after dodging a car (yep, I’m fast too!) and getting scooped up by a hero named Kris. I was skinny, scrappy, and clearly nobody had given me the love I deserved—until now. The shelter crew feeds me, spoils me, and can confirm I’m a heart-stealer. I’m about 2 years old and learning how to be friends with other dogs.  Puppies are more my speed right now, since I’m still recovering, but I’ll graduate to grown dogs. I’ve got a big personality, a bigger heart, and I’m ready to find my person. If you’re into sass, snuggles, and are easy prey to “puppy dog eyes,” let’s talk.

Hi… my name is Dolly,

For seven years, it was just me and my dad, and I loved him deeply. When I lost him, my world felt very scary, but I’m learning, thanks to my foster home, that safe, quiet homes exist again. I’m a sensitive girl whose confidence grows a little more each day. I love lying beside my people on the couch (please don’t move too much), sleeping on the bed, and inching closer as the night goes on. I prefer to choose when I’m touched, but I’m learning that gentle hands can be kind. Walks are short but improving, and sometimes I even prance with my tail held high. I enjoy routine, slow meals, and silly games at treat time. I’m housebroken, leash-trained, and worth the patience it takes to earn my trust.

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.

Hi… my name is Penny,

Adopted 5-18-25

I’m a stunning girl who arrived at TALGV after being found abandoned, alone and scared, in a nearby pecan field. I’ve since been fully vetted, spayed, and ready to start my quest to find a loving family. A few things about me: I like to take my time getting to know someone, so if you’re patient and respectful, I’ll show you the playful, fun side of me. I LOVE going for car rides and walks to explore all the sights, sounds, and scents. I also wait to ‘go’ until we are on a walk, so I’m likely housetrained. I’m unsure of other dogs; are they friendly or not? While my TALGV friends help me figure this out, please come by and ask to meet me. Maybe I’m the Penny that brings us BOTH good luck!

Hi… my name is Diesel,

Adopted 2-17-25

I’m a 2-year-old mixed breed, only 37 pounds, but my heart’s as big as they come. I’m shy when we first meet, like a diesel engine that takes a minute to warm up. But once I do, I’m ready to go, full of love, loyalty, and wagging tail. Oh! I’m a smart guy, too! I love puzzles and figuring things out – you could say I’m a bit of a problem solver. I walk really well on a leash, so we can explore the world together, and I promise, once we’re bonded, I’ll be right there with you, enjoying every adventure (and every snuggle). If you’re patient, I’ll warm your heart just as much as you’ll warm mine. Come meet me, so I can prove it!
