Hi… my name is Nacho (aka Harrison),

Adopted 11-10-24

What comes to mind when you hear my name… corn chips covered with melted cheese, etc. or the song, “Nacho, Nacho man?” Whoops! Should that be with an “M?” The reality is I’m a big, handsome boy who walks well on a leash, with a strong handler. I’m crate trained (when left alone), ask to go out, and know some commands. I’m not a snob, but I am cautious around people I’m not familiar with. I need to get to know someone to feel comfortable around them. Once this is accomplished, I can be very affectionate and loving. In other words… be patient! It may sound corny and cheesy, but let me say I’d love to be your “Macho Nacho” boy. Does that sound appetizing to you? Let’s go home!

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.                                                                                                   (bio revised 12-4-23)

Hi… my name is Eddie (aka Cocoa),

Adopted 2-5-24

When people say humans and dogs belong together, I want to reply a hearty “thank you” because that’s how I feel, too. Truth be told, I love human attention and affection, and I’m happy to give as much as I receive. When my person had to go overseas and I came here, I hoped to make new friends quickly.  Lucky for me, that’s what happened! Granted, the volunteers report that I need some guidance on manners (such as knowing when not to jump and leash training), but they describe me as eager to please, very sweet and friendly. I love to play and at my former home was good with kids and lived peacefully with another dog. If you’re friendly too, please stop by for a visit. We might decide to be friends forever!

Adopted 11-13-23

Fatsy is a smart and affectionate 60-pound, 9-month-old male Staffie mix that needs a new home as he is too high energy for small children. He is housebroken, enjoys car rides, and walks well on leash. He is crate trained, house trained (asks to go out), well behaved and knows commands sit, wait, stay, leave it, and lay. Fatsy is healthy, has been neutered, and is up to date with shots (medical records available). He does not get along with other dogs, cats are unknown, and kids should be older than 10. He loves to play and cuddle with family and would enjoy more training. There is no adoption fee. If you will welcome Fatsy into a loving home as part of your family, please call Robert any time at 520-834-7777.

Hi… my name is Diamond,

Adopted 12-3-23

Months ago, I was one of seven little puppies brought to The Animal League in a cardboard box!  Since then, I’ve been growing, learning, and having fun, but there have been a few disappointments, too. First, a family member’s allergies, then an older dog didn’t want me around, and now my current family is going far away. What’s a people-loving dog like me to do? Put my best paw forward, of course. My former people said I was good with children, housetrained, liked playing with a ball, and understood the words “sit,” “lay down,” and “go outside.” I’m a big, active puppy who loves to give and receive attention, and really wants to belong to someone. How about we meet real soon and find out if we could be a happy family together forever.

Hi… my name is Crosby,

Adopted 12-28-23

People tend to notice my merle and white coat first because, they say, it’s unusually handsome. They often comment on my eyes—one is blue, the other brown. I enjoy the compliments, of course, but my favorite part is when we get acquainted because I’m a friendly, sweet guy who loves being with people. Some say I make them happy just by being me! The kind fellow who rescued me couldn’t keep me forever, but in our two days together he wished he could. He said my good qualities included being “a great dog, lots of love, very sweet, and sensitive.”  My friends here agree! Affectionate and active, I’m a young guy, about 2 years old, so we could share lots of good times ahead. Please stop by. I’d love to meet you today!

Hi… my name is Zeus (aka Dodge),

Adopted 11-19-23

One morning I woke up in my familiar, comfy home and then everything changed. Turned out, my family’s new place isn’t big enough for the children, the cats, and me. Was I upset? Yes. I’d lived with my family since I was a pup. I love living indoors and, most of all, being with people. My former family said I was “great” with the kids (ages 1 and 5) and the two cats. Here, I’ve been shy and lonely, but time and kind people are helping. When a good friend went with me to my medical exam, they said my “inner goofy boy” started coming out. Everyone was glad and it felt good to me, too. I’m housetrained, know several commands, and am ready for my new happy, forever home. Could it be with you?

Hi… my name is Sunshine,

Adopted 11-29-23

I’m known to people, familiar with me, as a gal with a “sunny” disposition. With that endorsement, what name could possibly be a better fit for a sweet, affectionate, 3-year-old Staffie mix like me! My previous owner said I behave well in the house, ask to go out, and over all I’m a “good dog.” I’m also crate and leash trained, but because I am a strong walker, he decided he could no longer handle me. I know the commands “sit,” “stop,” “down,” and “stay” and enjoy playing with toys, but sharing, not so much. I’d probably do well in a home with older children. I’ve been an only dog, but previously I have enjoyed meeting other dogs in TALGV’s playgroup. Now please, just let the “sunshine” in, and let it be Me!

NOTE: Sunshine has been social, tolerant, and playful when meeting other dogs in TALGV’s playgroup. She would like to meet any resident dogs before adoption to your home.

Hi… my name is Lady Bird (aka Blue),

Adopted 12-5-23

I shared my home with a couple of kids and 19 cats and dogs. It appears I got along well with all of them! With a full house, several of us had to find new homes. After spending a week in a foster home, as an only dog, I discovered… I LIKED it! My foster mom said, like my name, I was calm and a “Lady” in the house. With a small treat, I’ll willingly go into my crate and sleep quietly all night. I ask to go out, sit when told, and walk well on a leash. I’m strong and need a dog savvy person to teach me how to not react when meeting other dogs. I’m affectionate, love to snuggle and moan when content. You too could be content! Want to snuggle?

Hi… my name is Bronson,

When my family dynamics changed, I was not to be included in the “new” family. Me… a great big, adorable lover boy, NOT included? While staying in foster, I made quite a favorable impression. I’m improving my leash skills, but since I’m a big strong boy, I’ll need someone who can match my strength. I ask to go out, and need a yard with a high, secure enclosure. I know how to sit and wait, but an eager eater like me who’s trying to lose “weight” can sometimes find the “wait” trying. I’m crate trained and go there myself for a nap, sleep at night, and stay when left alone. I may be too big to be a lapdog, but let’s compromise. Promise to be my loving, affectionate person, and I’ll try to stay off your lap! Deal? (bio dated 11-30-23)

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Hi… my name is Jason,

Adopted 6-17-24

I was originally found wandering around the St. Tomas neighborhood. At TALGV, my microchip unfortunately didn’t supply any of my owner’s information, so I was adopted. I stayed a few days in the lady’s home, and she reported that I’m very loving and calm, and will stay close by my person’s side in the home. I behave in the house, ask to go out, and can use a doggie door. I know the commands “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “no.” I’m a big, strong, handsome, Lab/Staffie mix boy. Sadly, the lady decided that I’m a lot stronger, for an elderly person, than she thought I was. If you’re a loving, patient person with the strength and willingness to teach me all the basic commands… I’m that strong, affectionate boy who’s ready and willing to be your loving companion!
