Hi… my name is Oreo,

Adopted 6-26-18

Moving here was a big surprise to my sister Bambi and me. We’d been with our people four years, ever since we were puppies, but when they moved out of state and couldn’t take us, we no longer had a home. Needless to say, that’s a scary predicament. When we arrived at TALGV, we just barked at strangers and huddled together. But things are getting better. The Den Mothers help a lot. They’re the volunteers who visit us regularly in The Den—the room here for little dogs. With their encouragement, we’re showing more of our true selves—bright, vivacious and spunky. We’re Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix females; I’m the black and white one, 12 pounds, and if you could love a lively, attentive little dog like me, I’d be proud to be your devoted companion.

Hi… my name is Gomez,

Adopted 6-3-18

Sometimes you wonder how pet names are selected, don’t you? Well, odd name or not, I’m one snuggly, affectionate 3-year-old boy who’ll make your day just that much brighter when I’m part of it. I was found in Phoenix several years ago, then migrated to Rio Rico where my family finally decided they had too many pets. I’m playful (as befitting my young age), thrive on attention, and will do anything for treats! I’ve lived with four Chihuahuas, a Poodle, and five cats (including my friend, Inkblot, who’s here also), and am gentle with kids, so with just a bit of settling in time, I’ll be the best addition to your life ever!

Hi… my name is Inkblot,

Adopted 6-10-18

Well, thank heavens for small miracles – at least they didn’t name me “Rorschach!” Actually, I guess it’s a fairly apt name as I AM a lovely combination of black and white “inkblots,” so it’s a pretty fair description. But in addition to my lovely fur (which also comes from being part Himalayan they say), I’m a sweet 3-year-old lady who just loves being petted, am playful (as befitting my young age), and thrive on attention. I’ve lived with four Chihuahuas, a Poodle, and five cats (including my friend, Gomez, who’s here also), and am gentle with kids, so with just a bit of settling in time, I’ll be the best addition to your life ever!

Hi… my name is Wally,

Adopted 6-16-18

When found near a local store, I wasn’t shopping but I had been looking for a friendly face in the crowd. Lucky me, I spotted two! They’re both Animal League volunteers and they knew right away that I’m a “people dog,” that is, a dog who thrives on the company of kind people. An 18-month-old blond Shepherd mix male, I’m lively, enjoy exercise, and interested in the world around me. But here’s my secret: I’ve been a little lonely. That’s why I try to be extra friendly to everyone, hoping they’ll notice me and see what a good dog I’m trying to be. If you’re looking for an attentive, active, eager-to-please dog, then I’m looking for you, too—ready to be your loving, playful, devoted companion for a long time to come.

Hi… my name is Tess,

Adopted 4-10-20

Comes with Vet Care Support for Life

Until not too long ago, I was just the most wonderful companion to my dad – a quiet, loving, and affectionate lady who loved petting – and his very best friend. Then age-related things started catching up with me (there may be people in Green Valley who can identify with that!), and there were times when I just wanted to be left alone. The wonderful people here at TALGV have given me a thorough “going over” to be sure there’s nothing amiss (at 15-plus, those things happen!), so now I’m good as new (well, almost – I guess we never get back to “new!”). So stay tuned for my progress – I’m aiming to be my old loving self soon!

Hi… my name is Domino,

Adopted 8-10-18

I’m happy to say that there are many wonderful people out there who love big dogs! Lucky me, right? I’m 100+ pounds—my size makes me strong too, and my former person felt I was too strong for her as she got older—but, fortunately, I’m also very friendly and very loving. Moreover, people seem to like me and that’s mutual—I’m great with people and small dogs. (Protective around large dogs, though.) A 6-1/2-year-old American Bulldog, I’m housebroken, know commands like sit, stay, and come, understand some Spanish, and I’m a happy guy who likes to play. White with brown spots, including one big brown spot on my back (like a Domino), I’d sure like to meet you. And if we find each other irresistible, well, “together-forever” has a nice ring to it!
