Petey (CGC)

Hi… my name is Petey,

Adopted with Bentley 11-27-18

Petey has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

On seeing me today—happy, friendly and carefree—you might be shocked at how tough things were back when I was found. There was a heavy chain around my neck; fleas, ticks and sores all over my body. But even then, my rescuers said I was affectionate and eager to please; gentle, tolerant, and playful with their kids. That good nature carried me through the tough times and makes the good times even better! I’m a lively and fun-loving guy, just under 70 pounds, happy to see my friends, but no cats, please! Oh, you might like to know I’ve earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, awarded for my awesome performance in the behavior department! Yes, I’ll be a great companion for some wonderful someone, and I hope it’s you!

Kali

Hi… my name is Kali.

Adopted February 27, 2015

When my family brought me home to live with their teenage kids, three cats, and three other dogs, they found that the dogs tended to overwhelm me (although I enjoyed the kids and the cats), so decided I’d be best as an only canine. At heart, I’m a playful gal and love playing ball and with my Kong, and while initially I’ve been a bit anxious here, every day I’m getting more comfortable with the routine. The volunteers say that when you interact with me one-on-one, I just light up and focus on how best to please you. I’m a black Lab/Staffie mix, only about 11 months old, so there’s still a lot of puppy there just ripe for molding into what everyone wants in a housemate: pure perfection!

Kiddo

Hi… my name is Kiddo.

Adopted March 28, 2015

I think people sometimes forget how active young puppies can be! My mom adopted me when I was a cuddly 8-week-old and has been taking really great care of me since. I got along great with her Chihuahua (although I was considerably bigger and a lot more exuberant than he was), but mom said that I had no problem behavior, just “too much energy” for someone her age. I’ve learned quite a few commands (sit, down, stay, and walk) and am a loving, smart girl. I’m learning to catch a Frisbee (I’ll fetch anything actually!), and am a “wonderful, willing dog who will learn everything for a treat.” I’m a young German shepherd/Staffie mix girl looking for an active family that will give me all the exercise and love it can dish out!

Champ

Hi… my name is Champ.

Adopted My 10, 2015

Champ has received his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.

After the police found me on Sahuarita Road, my owner was traced through my chip, but never responded, so here’s what the TALGV volunteers said about that: “We can’t understand why Champ’s owner never came back for him because he’s a real charmer!” I was a little rough around the edges when I arrived, but now — drum roll, please — I’m especially proud to say I’ve earned my nationally accredited Canine Good Citizen award! I get along with other dogs, have excellent leash manners, and simply will do anything for your affection and attention! So there you have it. Someone out there is missing out on one very special dog with tons of potential! I’d love it if this 2-year-old were on your radar!

Axel

Hi… my name is Axel.

Adopted Deember 26, 2014.

Arrived December 22, 2014.

Swan

Hi… my name Swan,

Adopted November 15, 2015

I stayed with a foster family for a while, and boy do they have good stuff to say about me! You can “read all about it” at TALGV, but here’s a sampling: “Swan is a sweet, curious girl who has a calm demeanor, is happy just lying around, but will gladly jump up and run outside if she senses you’re (the least bit) willing to play! She’s very smart, learns commands quickly, works hard to please, and thinks she’s a lap dog, often wanting to slather you with kisses. She loves her Kong, chasing water from a hose (making it easy to bathe her!), and adores walks (she’ll run with you if you’re into that!). She gets along great with all people and has eyes that will melt your heart.” So why not come to TALGV and let me melt yours?

Chloe

Hi… my name is Chloe.

Adopted December 19, 2014.

Arrived December 2, 2014.

Hercules

Adopted July 15, 2015

HERCULES is a very smart, energetic and sweet 72-pound 1-year-old Staffie mix who was rescued from the streets a few months ago by people who have other pets and are unable to keep him. He is housebroken and is an inside/outside dog. He walks on leash and has learned the command “sit,” but finders have not had much time for training so he will be happy to be rewarded for his efforts at learning more to please you! He loves being with his people but other dogs, cats, and children are not recommended. Finders believe Hercules would be best as an only pet. He is healthy, neutered, and up to date with shots. There is no adoption fee for this handsome boy.

If you will welcome Hercules into a loving home as part of your family, please call Amy between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-269-0959.

Charlie (girl)

Hi… my name is Charlie.

Adopted April 26, 2015

When my family moved to an apartment, they didn’t realize that there was a size restriction on dogs so when the landlord saw me, it was evident that I was over that limit and although it broke their hearts, they had to relinquish me. My mom said that I loved playing in general (I’m still a “puppy” at a year old), but especially with other animals and kids (mine were 14 and 16). The place they moved to didn’t have a yard, so I’m hopeful that my next family will have some outdoor space for all of us to get to know each other and where we can “let it all hang out.” I’m a charming brindle and white Boxer/Staffie mix who promises to add plenty of joie de vivre to your world!

Arrived October 28, 2014.
