Hi… my name is Sashi.

Adopted October 31, 2014.

Sashi has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.

Since I arrived last year, the volunteers have learned a lot about me, and I’m now especially proud to announce that I’ve earned my AKC “Canine Good Citizen” certificate (you can check all the things that qualified me for that on the Internet — just Google it!). They also say, “Sashi is a gentle girl with spurts of energy, and loves running outside in a fenced enclosure.  She needs plenty of regular exercise and would love an energetic family. She loves chew toys, tends to be docile, is attentive to children and loves to play with them (but sometimes prefers just being a couch potato!). I’m a 3-year-old, 47-pound tan and white Whippet/Staffie mix and I know with love, patience, and encouragement I’ll be a model friend and one of the best things in your life!

Arrived December 22, 2013.

Hi… my name is Sasha.

I was adopted June 11, 2014.

I was found in October in the desert by my “mom’s” co-workers and since none of them could keep me, she took me home. She had every intention of keeping me forever, but she had to move to a new place that didn’t allow pets. She said I’m really a sweet girl who loved to play in the water with her kids (although as a puppy, sometimes I got a little rambunctious, but a firm “no” got me to stop right away). I’m “mostly” potty trained (I need a little extra outing at night), and I know that with a little education, I’ll have all my ABCs down pat. I’m a charming young tan and white Staffie and Boxer mix girl (my “learning skills” are getting swifter by the day!), and I’ve got high hopes I’ll get to spend the New Year admiring the view from my new home and yard!

Hi… my name is Dennis.

Adopted June 12, 2015

Standing in the middle of Continental Road wasn’t the brightest thing I’ve ever done, but actually maybe it was, as a wonderful couple stopped their truck and I jumped right into the back, so it worked out pretty well because I got to come to TALGV! I’m a tan, 55-pound, shepherd and Staffie mix boy, and they say I’m really a very sweet guy who loves people, gets along okay with other dogs (but not cats), so everyone thinks that I’d make a great companion for an active family that has time to devote to my education (and then to play!). My philosophy is that everyone needs a canine in their life, so I’m here to make that happen for you!

Hi… my name is Sweetie Pie.

Adopted April 12, 2015.

If they could have found a better name for me, I don’t know what it would have been! The wonderful lady who found me said, “She’s a super sweet dog who loves to kiss and will make a GREAT PET — I wish I could keep her!” She found me running along Continental Road near the Performing Arts Center and only had me a short time, but said I got along well with her Westie, knew “sit and stay,” and was a very grateful girl to have gotten out of the road. I’m a beautiful grey and white Staffie who is about 3½ years old, and although I had a lot of irritation on my feet when I arrived (probably from walking in the desert) and a few other things that needed attention, the volunteers here will see that I’m all fixed up and ready to move on in no time. Why not visit and see for yourself?

Hi… my name is Toby.

My family adopted me from a shelter when I was nine months old, and I lived with them for three months until it was apparent their resident female and I weren’t ever going to be the best of friends (but WAY on the plus side, I got along great with the two cats and kids they had!). So, that said, everyone is positive that I’ll make a wonderful companion for an active family where I can be “top dog.” I’m a handsome, young 53-pound, Staffie mix boy, and my dad says, “Toby is very cuddly, thinks he’s a lap dog, wants to please, and is a quick learner.” I’ve been to obedience school and know sit, come, let go, and wait — all really important commands for us canines to master, so I’m betting I’ll find a place of honor in your life in no time after you take me home!
