Lucy

Hi… my name is Lucy.

Adopted January 17, 2015.

There wasn’t enough room for another big dog (well, 44 pounds isn’t THAT big!) at TALGV when I was found, so I stayed in a boarding kennel for a month until some space opened up. When the volunteers visited me, though, they said that I was happy, friendly girl whose “whole body wagged” when you met her. Now that I’ve got my own space here, I’m getting tons more attention, walks several times a day, learning lots of important commands, and getting some play time in too. The people at the kennel were nice, but it’s way better here — especially since now visitors will see what a sweetie I am and want to give me a new home! I’m a gorgeous, glossy ebony Staffie mix, and I know in my heart that the perfect family for me is just waiting around the corner. Why not make that you?

Maggie Mae

Hi… my name is Maggie Mae.

I was adopted on August 25, 2014.

Micky

Hi… my name is Micky.

Adopted September 17, 2014.

I’d just managed to dash around the traffic on Sahuarita Road when a lady stopped, opened her car door, and in I jumped! Wasn’t I glad SHE came by! Since TALGV was “full to the gills” as usual, I’m staying at a boarding kennel ‘til there’s room for me to “move on up,” but I’m being walked and socialized, and the volunteers say that I’m young, energetic, and eager to GO! I’m getting better on a leash, but I’m happiest when I can lay my head in your lap and enjoy some petting during our “sitting time.” I’m a handsome Staffie mix boy who’s pining for my very own person to make life complete.

Anna

Hi… my name is Anna.

Adopted December 13, 2014.

I’d love to be able to tell you a lot of fascinating stuff about my life before TALGV, but I guess that’s not going to happen because I was found wandering on Sahuarita Road. They do know that I’d been adopted from a shelter at one time, but after that, life’s a blank. The volunteers do say, however, that I’m very playful, good with kids and other dogs, love my wading pool (and playing in the mud!), and walk well on leash. So that’s actually quite a bit, isn’t it? I’m a pretty, brindle and white Boxer/Staffie mix lady and I’ll just bet that I could make your whole year if you took me home!

Oreo

Hi… my name is Oreo.

Adopted September 21, 2014.

If you’re looking for a young (but not TOO young!), high-energy guy, you’ve come to the right place! I was found near Sahuarita Lake right around July 4^th, so they think I may have been frightened by fireworks and got out of my yard. I’ve been hoping someone would come claim me, but that prospect seems more remote each day. But that just means that YOU have a chance to make my life complete! I’m a happy-go-lucky guy, and at a great age (10 months) for learning new stuff (the volunteers are working on that), so when you meet me, I’ll bet you’ll resolve to make me your very own “cookie.”

Emma

Hi… my name is Emma.

Adopted February 4, 2015.
For a young gal, I’ve got quite a few commands under my collar! I know “sit, outside, come, crate, and no” (the last two are particularly handy when training a puppy apparently!). My family only had me for a month, so given that I’m fairly proficient in those things already, you can bet that it’s going to be a walk in the park for someone who has time for my education to round out my training. I loved the kids I lived with (all three were very young and I was gentle as could be with them), but I sort of overwhelmed the resident dog with my exuberance, so my family decided I needed a place where my sweet, playful self could be the center of attention and get ALL the love!

Maisy

Hi… my name is Maisy.

Adopted February 25, 2015

I come with super references from my young family, but they were about to add another little human to the mix and had another BIG dog, so I was a bit more than they could manage. My mom said that I’m a sweet girl who loved to sleep with the kids, was good with other dogs, know sit, get down (off the bed — but I’d stay if you’d let me!), loved to ride in the car, and am perfectly housebroken. I’m a Staffie mix lady who is loving and eager to please, so if you’re looking for a really “special something” in your life, I just know I’ll warm the cockles of your heart! Oh, and the volunteers say that for anyone who always wanted a stocky pot-bellied pig, I snuffle and snort just like one without all the fuss!

Budger

Hi… my name is Budger.

Adopted April 18, 2016

After being rescued from a motel room (it’s a long story), I’m super grateful to those helping me find my forever home. One is my wonderful foster mom. She understands I’m so shy that sometimes I can’t be friendly with new people. But once I get to know you, she says, I’m a “Major Snuggle Bunny!” She’s shown me the joys of living in a home, and praised me for learning house manners so quickly. I’m getting REAL good at meeting new dogs, being sociable, and learning to become comfortable with new people. I don’t “do” cats well, but with people I know, I’m a lovable, sweet boy; a 70-pound, yellow Lab/Staffie mix who’d love to get to know you. If you feel the same, TALGV will call Foster Mom and we’ll meet soon!

Sampson

Hi… my name is Sampson.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

I guess you have to associate “big and strong” with my name. Well, I am that, but I’m a big people lover, too! I was found wandering on Sahuarita Road near the pecan groves, so naturally not much is known about my past, but the volunteers will tell you that I walk well on a leash (okay, I get distracted sometimes, but MOSTLY well!), am housebroken (I use my doggie door and NEVER have an accident in my room!), and will make some lucky family that has experience with guys like me a great companion and friend. I’m about 2-3 years old, and a genuinely handsome brindle mix of Boxer and Staffie, so do us both a favor and let me shine my light in your direction!

Alaka

Hi… my name is Alaka,

Adopted May 8, 2016

Sometimes when dogs go “walkabout” it’s for a reason! The people whose yard I jumped into saw me running in their neighborhood for a month and knew my owners, but apparently they couldn’t be bothered with me so I went looking for love in other places. I’m a young, Staffie boy and although there isn’t much I can tell you about my history, the volunteers say that I am sweetness itself and will bond very easily with my new people. I walk well on a leash and am learning other good stuff, so I know that I’ll be a wonderful addition to a family that wants to have me a BIG part of their lives. I’m probably an “only child” kind of companion — I really love humans, but am not thrilled with other four-legged creatures — so if you want a guy who is going to stick to you like glue, I’m the one for you!

Ebony

Hi… my name is Ebony.

Adopted October 30, 2015

Wouldn’t it be nice if dogs could talk and tell you about where they came from? Unfortunately, all anyone knows about me (except that I’m a “sweetheart”!) is that I was found in a vacant lot by a woman who tried for two days to find my owner. By the fact that I’m here, it’s apparent that she didn’t, but she did say that in the short time she had me I was very friendly, played well with toys by myself, liked the outside dog house, and that I was sweet and quiet (I never barked so she thought I might not have any vocal cords!). I’m a beautiful black Staffie mix lady with a charming white “bib” on my chest, and I’ve got my sights set on an active, big-dog-oriented family that won’t give a hoot about my background — they’ll just want me for my own sweet self!

Georgia

Hi… my name is Georgia.

Adopted February 14, 2015

Living with a foster family has many benefits, not the least of which is that people find out more about my personality in a “real world” setting! Here’s what they said: “Georgia is a wonderful, lovable dog and enjoys nothing more than a good belly rub. She is completely housebroken, crate-trained, knows “sit” and “down,” likes to ride in the car (AND the golf cart!), and loves people (especially kids!). She will make someone a wonderful pet. She’s intelligent, willing to please, and has a great personality. If you’re looking for a companion who’s loving and loyal, she’s the one for you!” That said, here are my “vitals”: I’m a 56-pound grey and white Staffie girl, so please let me show you the “warm and fuzzy” side of my breed!
