Hi… my name is Randy,

Adopted 12-31-16

If the dictionary had the term “friendly dog,” my picture should be there! I was found because I just ran up to a guy and let him know I was lost. Oh sure, I was shy when I first came here; you can’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into when your new friends speak Dog Trainer (they love pronouncing “sit,” especially when I, well, sit). Also, I didn’t recall being on a leash before, but you know what? I’m getting better at leash walking every day, and that’s because there’s one thing I know for sure: Pleasing my person makes us both happy! I’m a lively 18-month-old black Lab male with a big heart, and I’d love to meet you, the sooner the better, because I say life’s for living with someone you love!

Hi… my name is Streaker,

Adopted 2-28-17

The “eyes” have it! And combined with my luminous black coat, my orange orbs will be all you’ll see in a dark room! When I was found dirty, limping and very hungry, the owner fed and “watered” me, and since I was so affectionate, thought he’d keep me, but the resident cats didn’t cotton to that idea, so here I am ­ – available to you! When the volunteers gave me a bath and all my shots, they said I just rolled over and presented them with my belly for a few rubs, so you know I’m a pretty mellow guy despite my being on the lam! I’m about two years old, so will probably be a playful, happy-go-lucky fellow who’ll shine my light on you for years to come!

Hi… my name is Panini,

Adopted 11-30-16

I arrived at TALGV with a badly matted coat, so I was really happy to get my hair cut! I’d also faced being dropped off at a farm where I couldn’t stay permanently. (The word “dumped” was used, but that’s so harsh, it made me feel almost as uncomfortable as those miserable tangles.) At the farm, there were 3 other dogs and 3 cats, and we all got along. There were some little kids who scared me; I’d shake when they came around, but, nevertheless, the people there said I was “very loving” and “very playful.” The volunteers here add that I’m also “very dear.” Won’t you tell them that we need to meet? I’m a 7-year-old beige Shih-Tzu male, a little guy (12 pounds) who’ll bring a lot of joy to your days!

Hi… my name is Sissy,

Adopted 12-3-16

I was rescued from a homeless shelter, and I’m thankful for the happy turn my life has taken. My rescuer kept me at her place for a month, where I lived with 8 other animals—small dogs, cats, and a parrot—and she said I was friendly with them all. I was still learning (she said I’d flinch when objects came toward me), but proved to be leashed trained, smart, and teachable… kind of the perfect dog guest! Now I’m friends with the volunteers here, and they give me high marks for lovability, too. I’m 1-1/2 years old, about 56 pounds; a sweetheart in a brindle coat. If you look in my soft brown eyes and can see the love and loyalty I have to give, won’t you agree we’re made for each other!

Hi… my name is Gabriel,

Adopted 2-27-17

My humans decided to go their separate ways when their “life circumstances” changed (I’m not sure what that means, but it sure was a big change for my friend, Joshua, and me!) we ended up losing our home too. I’ve always been a “mama’s boy,” preferring her to the “man of the house,” but Joshua and I got along great – playing and sleeping together in a living room chair. Since my life has changed so precipitously, it might take me a while to warm up in a new situation, but I know once I feel safe and loved, I’ll be your constant companion (with Joshua along it might be easier for us both!). I’m a declawed, 8-year-old who’ll thank you every day for, as the ABBA song goes, “taking a chance on me!”

Hi… my name is Harper,

Adopted 12-29-16

One day a woman looked up and there was a black Lab puppy in her garden! It was me, happy to be in a safe, friendly place. The people there were very kind to me, but as much as we liked each other—I even got along with their cat—it just wasn’t the right time for a dog in their lives. So now I’m here, looking for love on a permanent basis. Of course, I’m mainly interested in you, but the volunteers say I should tell you about me, so here goes: I’m about 8 months old, 48 pounds, a sweet, playful guy, always eager to please. I even like training time! Plus walks, car rides, and—most of all—being the loyal, good-natured dog my person deserves. Could that person be you?

Hi… my name is Sassy,

Adopted 10-30-16

My motto is “let’s have fun every day!” The woman who found me said that at her house I loved to play with other dogs, loved chew toys, loved treats, and I agree—play, toys, treats, they’re all good! But my finder has 10 other dogs and cats, so she sadly let me come to TALGV. Happily, the volunteers here like me, too; they say I’m “very, very sweet,” (and you know they extra-super mean it when they say “very” twice). At just 5 months old, I’m continuing to learn things good dogs know, and my training should go well since I’m what people call “real smart.” Can’t hurt that I’m real loveable, too! I’m a slender, 27 pound brindle and white beauty, whose happiest day yet will be when you make me yours.
