Mia

Hi… my name is Mia,

Adopted 7-16-18

You know when I was a kitten, I used to be really embarrassed by my goofy “Charlie Chaplin” moustache (being a girl and all!), but now that I’ve matured, I kind of think it’s one of my defining features! According to my people, I’m also known for being “in love” with eating, sleeping, and cuddling! My wonderful dad had a life-saving heart transplant, so to be sure that nothing interfered with his healing, my family was told to “rehome” my best canine friend and me. Life often has a way of throwing curve balls at you, but I know that since I’ve had a wonderful life and really enjoy people (even kids!), that finding a new family will be like hitting a home run for me!

Hi… my name is Marcella,

Adopted with Casper 12-16-17

Although I’m not a “lap cat” per se, I’m more of a “sit-beside-you-as-close-as-I-can-get” kind of lady, and a real sweetheart to boot who still likes to chase toys. Sadly, after mom died, no one was able to take my housemate, Casper, and me, so having come from TALGV originally we’re back to say “howdy” and start looking for new people to charm. Everyone is calling us “Romeo and Juliet” because we’re seen cuddling in a cubby together, and although we don’t have to go together, it sure would be nice! I’m said to be outgoing and social and am just biding my time waiting for “that certain someone” to come meet me, have their heart melted, and “feel the love”!

Hi… my name is Casper,

Adopted with Marcella 12-16-17

“Casper is a lap cat and was devoted to his owner. He’s laid back, loving, and a joy to have around.” That’s what my mom’s daughter said about me. Sadly, after mom died, no one was able to take my housemate, Marcella, and me, so having come from TALGV originally we’re back to say “howdy” and start looking for new people to charm.

Hi… my name is Winston,

Adopted August 28, 2016

To stay calm on busy days at the shelter, it helps to be a pretty easygoing guy. The volunteers credit me with just that, saying that even when there’s lots going on around me here, I keep my cool. Granted, I’m a little scared, too, but my rescuer said I was the same at his house; “doesn’t bark,” he noted, and that was in a home with three other dogs. I did my best to be a good guest—being friendly, following basic commands—and after my home wasn’t found and my rescuer brought me to TALGV, I’ve tried to just keep being a friendly, good dog. I’m 17 pounds, a tan Wire Haired Terrier mix male, who may be calm, but you’ll make my heart pound with happiness if you make me yours.

Red

Hi… my name is Red,

Adopted September 21, 2016

I love making that special human-dog connection! We just look at each other and it’s like we’re having a conversation. There’s one question I can’t answer, though, and that’s how did I get lost? Guess the important thing is that I was found and now I’m here, hoping to meet you! The volunteers named me Red due to my extraordinarily handsome red coat (they flatter me), and weighed me in at just under 60 pounds. I’m a young Lab mix male, and my rescuer said I was good with kids. I’m a playful guy who knows how to have fun, plus I’m practicing “sit,” and other such things because I’m eager to please my human companions. How about we meet today, and see if we can make a happy connection of the forever kind!

Hi… my name is Marcus,

Adopted September 30, 2016

I was out for my morning jog when a woman ran up to me… Okay, I’m kidding. My rescuer was the one jogging, and I ran up to her because I was lost. Fortunately, she liked me right away and agreed to help me out. She took me home for a week, where I enjoyed spending time with her three children and four dogs. After no one claimed me, she brought me here, telling volunteers that I know the commands “sit” and “stay,” and like to play soccer and baseball! I’m also leash trained, so we can have all kinds of fun together—hiking, sports, or just hanging out. I’m an active young Boxer mix male who’d make a great addition to lots of households and has a heart full of love to give.

Adopted with Squeakers August 20, 2016

MOLLY (aka Tamale) is a beautiful 35-pound, 9 ½-month-old Lab/Aussie mix with tan and white coat that needs a new loving home due to owner’s changing personal circumstances. She is strongly bonded with Squeakers (aka Pip), her male sibling so owner strongly believes they should not be separated when they are adopted. Both pups have had all shots appropriate to their age, been spayed and neutered, been micro-chipped, and are in good health. Both pups know basic commands, are crate trained, leash trained, and housebroken. They have been taught to ring a bell when they want to go out, but also are comfortable using a dog door. Both dogs are loving, very affectionate, and eager to please. They have been socialized and have lived with another older dog and 2 cats. They are also great with children. They have been taught to bark at the door. Both pups are very high energy and love to go on walks or runs, and play at the dog park. They will do best with a fenced yard where they can run freely. All the pups’ gear will go with them, including each of their crates, a shared doghouse, leashes, harnesses, toys, and health/shot records. There is no adoption fee.

If you would welcome Molly and Squeakers into your home and heart, please call Kris between 10 AM and 7 PM at 520- 309-0038.

Hi… my name is Pasha,

Adopted 11-27-16

I was found in a dangerous position—walking down the middle of Sahuarita Road! (The pecan fields can be tempting if you’re hungry.) After rescuing me from that peril, my finder let me spend two weeks with him, but he couldn’t keep me forever, so I’m still looking for my special someone. I’m a 2-year-old Boxer mix, a nice medium size female with a beautiful brindle and white coat. My finder said I used their doggy door, would get down when told to, and got along well with other dogs. I’d say my best feature is my super sweet nature, but please don’t take my word for it! Tell my TALGV friends you’d like to meet me and let me show you up close and personal what a great dog I’ll be for you.

Hi… my name is Jose,

Adopted August 20, 2016

I was a lost little dog, depending on the kindness of strangers, when I wandered into a yard I’d never seen before. Luckily, the people there were very kind indeed. They took me in and kept me for a month, but since they’re gone to work all day, there just wasn’t enough time for me. So they brought me here, where I can meet someone who’ll want me forever! I’m a sweet Rat Terrier mix male, tan and white; a great size for cuddling and playing at just 9+ pounds. Plus, I’m friendly—I’ve been very happy to meet children here at the Animal League. Won’t you please stop by today, even if it’s just to say “hi.” Who knows—we might become instant friends and you’ll be the one to welcome me home.
