Precious

Hi… my name is Precious,

Adopted August 31, 2016

My name, Precious, tells you what I dream of being to someone wonderful. My previous person gave me to a stranger in a parking lot because he couldn’t take care of me anymore. He said neighbors had been feeding me, but they wouldn’t do that much longer and so I needed a new place. My hopes are high that it will be the most special kind of place—a home full of love, where I’ll fit right in. The volunteers say that wish will come true because I’m a really sweet dog, eager to please and easy to love. At 2 years old, with a soft chocolate-brown coat and just under 50 pounds, I’m a young, fun-loving female, who’ll gladly answer to any name you choose as long as you call me yours forever!

Anna

Hi… my name is Anna,

Adopted August 14, 2016

When I was found with Elsa, my sweet friend (possibly sister), all we had was each other. We were soaking wet and dehydrated. Our finder took us to their small ranch, where they kindly fed us, took care of us, and discovered my many good qualities. I’m “extremely smart and learn fast,” they said, “a very sweet dog who will love you forever,” and knows lots of commands (like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” “no”). I was “gentle and tolerant” with their children and got along with most of the other animals—horses, dogs, cattle—but didn’t do well with the family cat and, in fairness, the cat was there first. So now I’m here, a sweet, loving, playful 2-year-old American Bulldog/Staffie mix female, who’ll be happy forever if you let me be your best friend.

Hi… my name is Charlie Pup,

Tux

Hi… my name is Tux,

Adopted July 6, 2016

I’m just a young pup, so eager to be loved, but nobody wanted me. In the nick of time, a wonderful lady rescued me from a terrible fate and brought me to TALGV. One of my hips had been injured, so my new friends here are taking care of that, plus they’re agreeing with what my rescuer said about me–I’m very loving, intelligent and a really fast learner! At 5 months, I know “sit, stay, and fetch,” am leash trained, and was well behaved with my rescuer’s family. Fun things I’d love to share with you include walks, playing with balls, and hugs. I’m a Lab/Staffie mix male, 32 pounds, black with a white star on my chest, and your love could turn my world around. Are you the one who’ll want me forever?

Gunter

Hi… my name is Gunter,

Adopted July 19, 2016

I bet you can tell just by looking at me that I’d be so happy to find a forever friend. Maybe that’s what I was trying to do when my rescuer spotted me in her neighborhood. When she realized I was lost, she brought me to TALGV, where my search for a special someone (or maybe someones) continues. The volunteers tell me my day will come because I’m real cute—from my happy grin to my attention-getting ears (always a fun topic of conversation!)—and, most importantly, because I’m especially sweet, something that comes naturally to me and people really like. I’m a 1-year-old Staffie mix male, mainly gray with white markings, about 49 pounds, and full of hope that you’ll say I can be yours. Won’t you please let me love you forever!

Gilroy

Hi… my name is Gilroy,

Adopted 8-13-17

Gilroy has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I was a TALGV baby! My nine siblings and I were born here on 7/26/15. (Yes, mom was amazing!) We were each adopted, but then things changed for my new family and they didn’t have time for me. They said I was a great dog, gentle with the kids, but they wanted me to have the attention a dog deserves. If that means someone who’ll play with me, love me, and cuddle on a regular basis, I say that sounds like pure happiness! I’ve been getting ready—recently earning my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, which means I’m a star in the behavior department! I’m a black and white male with some speckles, 70+ pounds—every ounce adorable—and I really want to be someone’s good and happy dog. Could you be the one?

Kiki

Hi… my name is Kiki,

Adopted 10-21-17

Kiki has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I came to TALGV “highly recommended.” My former people—who loved me but had to give me up due to a serious illness in the family—described me as super smart, playful, and loving. I’m a beautiful 5-1/2-year-old black and white female, about 55 pounds, and once I warm up to new people, I thrive on praise and affection. As far as behavior in general, I proved my personal excellence by earning my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate—a gold standard in the dog world. And for fun, I love playing in water, car rides, and quiet times, too—happy just hanging out with my special someone(s). I can’t tell you how much I’d love to have a home again and if that could be with you, I’ll give you all my love forever!

Peaches

Hi… my name is Peaches,

Adopted 12-31-16

Peaches has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Back when I was lost, I’d wait until nighttime, then crawl up on a cushioned wicker chair in a stranger’s atrium and sleep there. I thought I was without a friend, but that wasn’t so. Soon, some kind people came for me and brought me here, where I’m safe, comfy, and everyone likes me! They say my name suits me because I’m so sweet-natured, and they praise me for being calm and gentle. I can be bashful, but I’m also good with most people because I love their company. Maybe you’ll like being with me, too. How about we meet today and find out! I’m a soft-coated brown and white Staffie mix female, a little over 1 year old and about 57 pounds. There are lots of happy years ahead—let’s spend them together!

Guero

Hi… my name is Guero,

Adopted 11-14-16

Guero has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When my family split up, moved and couldn’t take me, I was heartbroken. In my way, I shed doggie tears about that and was actually shaking when I arrived at TALGV. But that was then. Today, I’m back to being the real me: Loveable and loyal, playful but calm, and a true champ of good behavior. In fact, I’ve been awarded the coveted AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate because I perform so well on some important behavior challenges. (Yes, this includes minding commands like sit, down, stay, heel, and lots more.) I’ve made good friends here—people and dogs—but I’m the kind of guy who really needs to belong to somebody. A nice medium size, I’d fit well in many households and in all hearts—including yours. How about we become family today!

Valentine

Hi… my name is Valentine,

Adopted March 13, 2016

I’m a young little dog, but when some really tiny ones were in trouble, I was a lifesaver! Three puppies were born to a mother dog too old and sick to care for them. Their survival was at stake because they wouldn’t take bottles in foster care either, and that’s when I arrived. No one knows where I came from; it seemed a kind of miracle. I’m a beautiful 1-year-old Staffie mix female, only about 26 pounds, who’d just given birth. Sadly, my babies weren’t found. But I was ready to be a mother, and willingly nurtured those three puppies who desperately needed me. Today, we’re thriving, the pups and me, and I’m ready for a happy, carefree future. I’ve shown what a good little dog I can be. Couldn’t I please be yours?

Arrived February 5, 2016

PS A few photos of puppies are included but they will not be available for adoption until end of February.

Marti

Hi… my name is Marti (aka Della),

Adopted July 22, 2016

People often comment on my gorgeous looks, but I must tell you that I’m not self-centered. I’m so interested in the world around me—people, other dogs, anything that’s happening! I’m a 1-year-old Lab/Staffie mix female, about 60 pounds, a beauty in tan and white (my “baby” pictures are at the end of the website gallery). I’m an exuberant, energetic girl who can be good on a leash but strong, too, and so if I’m distracted, you need to be strong enough to get me “back in line.” I know “sit,” love water (have webbed feet), ride well in a car, and was crate-trained as a puppy. If you come for a visit, I know we’ll have fun meeting each other. And if we really like each other, I’d be so happy to be yours!
