Hi… my name is Tilly,
Adopted 8-19-17
TALGV sure has a lot of great volunteers! When I first arrived it was apparent that I was soon to be a mama, so I got to go home with one of them until my kittens were born, weaned, and off to new homes. Well, I’m happy to report that my mothering is done (forever!) and now I’m ready to be on my own with a human or two and (and even another critter, since I did “tolerate” them in my foster home!). While not exactly the glued-to-your-lap type, I am affectionate and playful, and I love to check out visitors when they arrive. I’m just two years old, with a charming grey “hat” and tail, and I’d love to “let it all hang out” with you!

Hi… my name is Gypsy,
Adopted 9-2-17
I was adopted as a sweet little puppy and today I’m a sweet 2-1/2-year old, but my people can’t keep me anymore. Their new Florida landlord says I can’t live with them there. So I’m going to give my heart to someone new and hope this time it’s forever! I’m a playful, loving, tan and white Staffie mix female, 27 pounds. I’ve not lived with children, but my former people said I was gentle and tolerant. I can jump high and do not get along with cats, but I love playing with my toys and sleeping with my blankie. I’m crate-trained, “ask” to go outside, behave well in the house, and do many other things just to please you. Give me the chance and I’ll be the best dog I can be for you.

Hi… my name is Sunkist,
Adopted 6-5-18
Sometimes well-meaning people bite off more than they can chew! That’s what happened with our mom when she took in a few stray cats, couldn’t afford medical care or to have them spayed and neutered, and ended up with a whole passel of us! Happily, TALGV’s Outreach Program came to the rescue, and here we are, sweet as pie albeit a bit shy at the moment, but all totally eager to find new homes and people to love. I’m a charming 4-year-old medium-haired black lady who loves people, gets along with other cats (obviously, since I lived with so many!), and now that the kittens I recently raised are off on their own, I know my life is going to be exactly the thing I’ve been dreaming of once I’m settled with you!

Hi… my name is Sara,
Adopted 3-11-19
Sara has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.
Born in late 2013, I have grown into a smart, loving, playful petite Staffie mix. My friends say I am a star. My dream is to one day have a forever home and be a lap dog so if you’re game, I’m the one for you. I need your time because I can be anxious if left alone too long. I would do best in a home with a doggie door. I’ve been good with children and teens and have lived with children in the past. My friends think that I am unfriendly towards other dogs, but I am willing to work on that. The cold can be hard on me, so if you have a warm heart and home, you’re the one for me. I will be an awesome addition to your family.

Hi… my name is Search,
Adopted 2-23-19
Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life
When a door closes on one part of your life, you hope for the miracle of another one opening on a new beginning. At 18 years old, I’m “a smidge” past the prime of my life, but you know what they say, everyone gets a turn at blushing youth, but at the end of the day looks aren’t worth much – it’s experience that counts! My dad couldn’t care for me any longer so the good folks here are doing their best to be sure I find a loving home with someone who understands the needs of us “senior” folk (my free vet care will help with that too!). All I ask is someone to share life’s slower pace (and a lap!) with and I’ll be happy!

Hi… my name is Raggio,
Adopted 6-22-17
I feel like I have “revolving door syndrome”! My dad took my housemate, Mido, and me from my first family when they were transferred and only had us three weeks before bringing us to TALGV. To be fair, he did try (and said that I had a “good temperament”), but three weeks just isn’t enough time for most cats to adjust to new circumstances, so I’m hoping another family will be more patient and let me prove that I really can be a companion extraordinaire! I’m a 5-year-old uniquely marked, “greige” (that’s a lovely combo of grey and beige!) boy who’ll reward you in manifold ways if you will just give me a chance. Life’s all about chances, so why not take one with me?

Hi… my name is Ellie,
Adopted 7-1-17
A lady arrived to clean what she thought was a vacant house, but guess who was there? Two little dogs—Bernie and me! After that, we lived in a home with eight children and I was well behaved with those kids, but the landlord said it was too crowded. (Also, there was some trouble with dogs getting along, although we can’t say who instigated it.) In any event, this winding road brought me here and I’m pretty excited because friends say the next step is a forever home—a place full of love and happiness! Sounds perfect to me! I’m a tan 1-year-old female, 25 pounds, probably a Hound mix and definitely adorable. My legs are short, my body is long, and my biggest dream is a loving home with someone wonderful like you.

Hi… my name is Bernie,
Adopted 1-12-18
Give me a little time to get to know you and we could both be making a new friend. I’m a guy who was left abandoned in an empty rental home, and that rough beginning took its toll on my self-confidence. As a result, I may be “a lot of bark” when we first meet, but that’s all bluff and bluster. In a home environment, I can become my true self—relaxed, quiet, more than willing to share your couch. Shelter friends say I appear to be housebroken and definitely enjoy car rides. As for other dogs, I prefer females—they just bring out the best in me. I’m a slender, young adult Hound mix male, small to medium size, and if you give me a chance, I’ll be your happy, loyal companion forever!

Hi… my name is Mickey,
Adopted 7-20-17
Mom was expecting when she was found (thank goodness!) and I was one of her five babies. The family that cared for us included 4 children, ages 1 through 10, with whom I was gentle and tolerant. But after six months, the time came for us to find our own homes. I especially loved my sister and it was hard saying goodbye to her, plus I was shy with strangers, so even though I looked good—a handsome male with a shiny black coat, 17 pounds at 7 months old—I was scared at first. Fortunately, I’m now coming into my own, learning to walk on a leash and how to do the things good dogs do! If you’ll kindly help me grow and learn, I’ll happily be your loyal and loving companion forever!
