Hi… my name is Honor,

Adopted with Glory 9-10-23

On my first day here, when a volunteer looked into my deep brown eyes and said, “Welcome to TALGV,” I didn’t know what to think. But I do now! I’ve always had fun playing with my siblings or people, but now I think my learning job is fun, too. For instance, I enjoy practicing with volunteers on what to do for words like “sit,” “stay,” or “wait.” (I’m already good on “sit” and learning more.) I love being outdoors and active, so working on leash-walking is also important for me. As a Husky/Staffie mix female, likely to grow into a good-size dog, I look forward to regular exercise with my person. So, what do you think? Will an active, friendly, growing and learning pup be fun for you? Please visit me and we’ll see!

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 Lily Lu (aka Mila),

Adopted 10-24-23

I’m an almost 8-year-old female Staffie mix who’s basically a happy-go-lucky, people-loving dog! I’ve been good in the house when left alone, have asked to go out, can use a doggie door, and know a couple of commands. Even though I haven’t been a fussy eater, according to my previous owner I can’t eat carrots! I’m affectionate and playful, and as I previously mentioned, I love people but can become possessive of an individual. When it comes to walking on a leash, I do pretty well. I will need a strong, knowledgeable handler to keep me on the straight and narrow when meeting other dogs. In fact, I need to be your one and only pet! Don’t worry; as your loving, faithful companion, I’ll be all you’ll ever need!

Hi… my name is Kehlani,

Adopted 3-6-24

A year ago, I was fortunate to find what I thought was my Forever Family. Sadly, my owner passed away and other family members couldn’t keep me, so now I’m back at TALGV. But despite losing my family and home, I am a playful, affectionate and VERY happy girl. I have house manners and know how to use a doggie door or ask to go outside. I’ve been good with kids but can be shy with some men. (Maybe I’m playing ‘hard to get’ – LOL!). While I lived with other dogs of all sizes, small dogs (and cats) look more like toys I’d like to chase.  Speaking of toys, I’m passionate about them and treats. Please come meet me and I’ll happily show you why friends say I’m a beauty with brains to match!

Hi… my name is Opal,

Adopted 12-20-23

 I’m an almost 2-year-old, Staffie mix female. I’m a little timid and shy with people until I get to know them, then you’ll see what an affectionate girl I am. My roommate was happy when I returned after being in foster care. While there I slept in my crate at night (and when needed) and I asked to go out, but occasionally needed reminding. I know how to “sit,” and I walk fairly well. I’ll need someone to teach me the rest of the commands and work on my leash training. I was wondering, would YOU be interested? On a personal note, I’m still young and might benefit from additional “puppy training.” I enjoy playing fetch, chasing lizards, and snuggling on the couch with my person. Want to snuggle?

Hi… my name is Soda Pop,

Adopted 8-23-23

Have you ever wondered what your family canine member is dreaming about? Do you know what my dream is? Yes, you guessed it! My very own forever home. I was one of several  lucky dogs to be chosen to come to TALGV from PACC. I must admit, that makes me feel very special! Even though I was shy at first, it didn’t take me long to settle in, and now I enjoy sharing my room with a great roommate. I know “sit,” and when dressed in my harness, I walk pretty well on a leash. Back to my dreams! I’m a friendly, affectionate young Staffie mix girl, who really wants hers to come true. That would involve you visiting me! Please just “pop” in! Who knows, maybe both our dreams can come true.

Hi… my name is Dutchess,

Adoped 7-17-23

Royalty in Green Valley? It’s true! I’m Her Royal Highness, the Dutchess of TALGV, and I’m so happy to be here! I’m not a ‘stiff upper lip’ type, as I want to enjoy life to the fullest and share my big heart with others. I might be 9 years old, but you’d never know it as I’m an active girl who loves to go on outings – whether walks or car rides, anything really – as long as I can be near people. I’ve been sociable with dogs, though I like to be the boss. Even though I was found as a stray, I believe our past shouldn’t hold us back. There’s so much joy to be shared with loved-ones. I’m ready to start the ‘Happily Ever After’ chapter of my life. Could it be with you?

Hi… my name is Arty,

Adopted 1-6-24

I was a Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) pooch that had been repeatedly overlooked by potential adopters. Why? Oh, it’s not because I’m not special—I AM! It’s just that PACC had more than 400 other furry choices. Lucky for me, some astute Animal League volunteers saw my sparkling personality and they picked ME to come here where I could shine. And shine I do! My TALGV friends say I’m a “great dog” who knows how to “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” and “come.” I also know the “watch me” command and walk well on a leash. My hobbies include the outdoors—especially hiking—and I like playing with dog friends and people friends. ALL PEOPLE! And once I warm up to you, watch out, because this mellow fellow becomes a kissy-faced dreamboat. Can I be YOUR pick?

Hi… my name is Finn,

Adopted 7-29-23

I was found with just a rope collar and looking like “skin and bones.” But look at me now! You can tell that I’m loving the regular food, and, even more, the human company. Recently I spent a few days in a home and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and calm environment. My friends there said I was gentle, sensitive, and funny. Although I didn’t like being alone, I didn’t chew or damage anything. They said I preferred being inside, and even watched TV! But the best part was sharing my days with people—taking easy walks, riding in the car, sitting outside together, and cuddling on the couch. I’m a 4-1/2-year-old Boxer/Staffie mix who’s been hungry, scared, and lonely, but now I know how good life can be. Could my best days be with you?

Hi… my name is Stormy,

Masterpieces by Michelangelo, Beethoven and DaVinci, took time, patience and love to come to fruition. Those treasures were certainly worth the effort, right? Well, with those same tools, you can transform this 47-lb bundle of happy energy into the best dog I can be! A kind human found me wearing a “deaf dog” collar and, sadly, nobody claimed me. But, happily, my TALGV friends are helping me channel my energy into learning good manners as well as hand signal commands (you know deaf dogs hear with their hearts, right?), and all the while I’m having fun and making more friends. Do you have the tools necessary to help me become the masterpiece I’m destined to become? If you have another active, friendly dog I can learn from, that’s even better. Let’s design a Happily Ever After!

Hi… my name is Traveler,

Adopted 2-16-23

 Who knows why I was at the I-19 Northbound rest stop, but I have a feeling it wasn’t actually my idea! Thankfully I was dropped off at The Animal League by someone, who  knew staying there wasn’t an option for me. I’m an affectionate young Staffie mix girl. When I first arrived I was very shy and unsure of what to expect. Then I realized that I was not only being fed and sheltered, but I was also being loved. What a magical word… loved! I walk fairly well when not distracted by my sniffing (everything) and traffic noises. You can probably understand why that makes me skittish! Unless I’m keeping secrets about my education, I’ll need to learn the basic commands. I’m still willing to travel, especially if it’s traveling with you to my new forever home!
