Hi… my name is Cali.

Adopted 12-20-16

Cali has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I cannot exaggerate how grateful I was to arrive at TALGV. I was left here in a small crate, malnourished, with fleas, and expecting puppies! Happily, my ten pups were born in this safe place, all’s well with them, and now I’m ready for my forever home. I’m a lovable white and black Staffie mix, about 56 pounds, who knows basic commands, how to play fetch and ball (they say I’m good at it), and I even run through an agility tube. Love and affection are my middle names, and I thoroughly enjoy getting out and about. TALGV friends have taken me to the farmers market, adoption fairs, and hiking in Madera Canyon. Of course, the best place on earth is a place called home and that’s what I dream of sharing with you.

Hi… my name is Nala.

Adopted August 24, 2015

Like the wise queen Nala in the The Lion King movie, I try to be a loyal, good friend. The person who found me said I walked beside her without a leash (although I agree leashes are good things). I’m friendly with my doggie neighbor, too, but not with small dogs, so I need to be in a home with no small pets. Since I’m about 2 years old, you may be pleasantly surprised by my calm and relaxed behavior. I may even try to give you a soft doggie hug, but I know that should be only when you want one. I’m a 54-pound Staffie mix with a chocolate brown coat (some see it as blue) and white markings, and if you look in my brown eyes, you may see your next great friend.

Hi… my name is Liberty,

Adopted November 28, 2015

You know how some wonderful people just love dogs? Well, I’m a dog who just loves people. If you want to go for a walk, we can enjoy that together.   If you want to just sit quietly, I’m totally content keeping you company.   I’m about 6 years old, a female Staffie mix who is white with faint dark spots. I was found on Sahuarita Road between Nogales Highway and Santa Rita Road. I don’t know all the roads traveled before that, but somewhere along the line I learned to be gentle and loving. I’m hard of hearing, but I know how to sit and if you give me a sign to stay, I will, but I’d rather come with you. And if you take me home, I’ll be your always-happy companion.

Hi… my name is Panda.

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Hi… my name is Trixie,

Adopted December 31, 2015

My foster mom and dad report that I’m a typical puppy with lessons to learn; the puppy version of “some assembly required.” I’m also a lucky pup because some great people are helping me learn to be the best dog I can be. Already, I will sit and stay at the door, and I’m learning other important things like how to have fun with other dogs, be quiet in my crate, and good house manners, too. (Turns out the people make the rules – good to know!) I’m a 6-month-old female pup; a 25-pound Dalmation/Staffie mix, white with big and small black spots. I’m an energetic pup who also loves to cuddle—a cuddle bug, they call me—and in my puppy dreams, I imagine my forever home. Could it be with you?

PS Hope you enjoy seeing my baby photo at the bottom of the page.

Hi… my name is Star,

Adopted August 4, 2016

Star has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

My brother and I were puppies found in the desert. We stayed with our rescuers for several months, living outside until we moved here, where the volunteers have taught me so much! Now I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and even earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate! I’m a young Boxer/Lab/Staffie mix male, 52 pounds, and my friends call me handsome—in part because of my sleek black coat with the white star on my neck—and a fun companion for walks, playing ball, and belly rubs. (I’ll try to make those belly rubs fun for you, too, okay?) I’m super grateful to those who helped me become the terrific dog I am today, and all I ask from you is a chance to show you how great we could be together.

Hi… my name is Cloud,

Adopted August 4, 2016

Cloud has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

My brother and I were found in the desert when we were just puppies. We stayed with our rescuers for several months, living outside until we moved here, where the volunteers have taught me so much! Now I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and even earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate! I’m a young Boxer/Lab/Staffie mix male, 47 pounds, and my friends call me handsome—thanks to my sleek black coat with snowy white markings—and a fun companion for walks, playing ball, and receiving belly rubs. (I’ll try to make those belly rubs fun for you, too, okay?) I’m super grateful to those who helped me become the terrific dog I am today, and all I ask from you is a chance to show you how great we could be together.

Hi… my name is Twilight.

Adopted June 27, 2015

I was found running on Sahuarita Road near the Walden Grove High School with two other dogs. Thankfully we were rescued by a wonderful TALGV volunteer, and, happily for my two companions, their owner arrived immediately to reclaim them. My story, however, is a bit different in that my mom never came for me, so now I’m officially a TALGV dog and am available to brighten up your life! I’m a sweet (but a little sad!) black and white Staffie mix lady, and am hopeful that there will be a caring family out there to help get on with the business of being your best pal.

Hi… my name is Katie.

Adopted May 16, 2015

The people who found me named me Buttercup because I was so gosh darn cute, but after I arrived at TALGV, they discovered that I’d been microchipped, and my real name is Katie. The volunteers tried in vain to contact my owner, so here’s your chance for a totally awesome gal of your very own. My rescuers said that I was friendly, had lots of energy, and was gentle with both their kids and their little dog. Although it appears that I haven’t had a whole lot of obedience training, I do walk quite nicely on a leash, so with my willing heart and head full of smarts, being a perfectly-behaved pal should be a snap for me! I’m a pretty, medium-sized Staffie mix who’s half-past ready to begin a new life with you!

Hi… my name is Donovan.

Adopted September 2, 2015

My mom was one of those people who ended up with an awful lot of pets because she never met a stray she didn’t like! Well, I guess I put her over the top, as I’m a pretty big guy, so I’m anxious to find a new place with lots of space to “strut my stuff.” My mom said, “Donovan is a gentle giant who loves to come in the house. He’s a good watchdog and loves animals and kids. Please take good care of him!” I’m a black Lab/Staffie mix boy who will be sure to thank you every day for giving me a chance.

Kia

Hi… my name is Kia.

Adopted April 4, 2015

After my dad moved away, his niece took me in for a few months hoping to keep me forever, but their female dog and I had a difference of opinion about who was going to be #1 with the resident males! I adored their two young kids, though, and was very gentle and loving with them. I simply live to play fetch and rollick with other (male) dogs, and the whole family agreed that I’m a super sweet girl who only needs love, another dog or two to romp with, and a family that will include me in all their activities. I’m a 14-month-old, 72-pound, black Lab and Staffie mix girl whose main goal in life is making yours an active and happy one!
