Hi… my name is Ruff,
Adopted March 16, 2016
I wish I could start with “once upon a time” because my TALGV friends say I look like a dog with an interesting story. But all I know is that I somehow ended up alone in a local park, and even though I was pretty dirty (I’d probably been wandering for a while), a kind gentleman put me in his truck and brought me here. I was so shy someone carried me to my new run, but now, after receiving kindness and care, I give my visitors a calm and friendly greeting. Honestly, I love people and your attention makes me so happy. I’m a 1-year-old Wheaten Terrier male, medium size, white with tan and black spots. If you let me share your heart and home, we can write a happy new chapter together!

Hi… my name is Figuero,
Adopted as TALGV Meeter & Greeter 5-3-17
Figuero comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.
Sometimes the best of intentions go awry. The folks who rescued me thought I belonged to their neighbors and when it turned out I didn’t, I was such a lover they decided to keep me. Unfortunately, pesky allergies kicked in, so their relatives took me in. They had me for two months, but I didn’t get along with their two young cats or dogs (especially the dogs!) so once more, I’m searching for a perfect home. In the time they had me, they said I loved to cuddle, and my preference for sleeping accommodations was their laps! I was gentle with the kids in the house, too, so if the prospect of having an affectionate, mature gentlemen companion warms the cockles of your heart, come meet me!

Hi… my name is Kenny,
Adopted March 9, 2016
Chihuahuas are the smallest breed and at 4.4 pounds, I’m a very little Chihuahua. And even though little dogs often think they’re big, I felt extra tiny when I was lost in a field behind a busy store. The world was big and scary from there, but in one very lucky moment, a kind person rescued me and brought me to TALGV. I’m safe and cared for here, and gradually I’m learning to trust again. The other dogs in The Den, the room at TALGV for little dogs, also make me feel more confident and sometimes we go on walks together. I’m a white male Chihuahua, very young at about 5 months, and realizing that the big life ahead of me is soon going to be much better—the day you make me yours!

Hi… my name is Scooby,
Adopted March 28, 2016
If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog, I’m right here! And, lucky for me, I’m hard to miss. I’m a tall, slender Lab mix male, about 70 pounds, 1-year-old and full of personality. I love people of all ages, and although I’m strong, I correct easily and try real hard to make you proud of me. You must know that I can jump; when we’re out in the yard, a secure, high fence is important. I was lost last summer, then adopted, and then seen wandering a neighborhood alone. This time, I have high hopes that I’ll meet someone who really cares about me and wants to share all the love my big heart has to give. Please let me show you the fun we could have, and then make me yours today!

Hi… my name is Nash,
Adopted 12-8-16
When my mom had to move in with her parents while she finished college, her not-so-temporary lodging didn’t allow pets, so my housemate, Nala, and I needed to find new digs. Mom said that I’m shy at first, but open up really quickly, LOVE to play (being still basically a kitten, that’s a given!), spend lots of time with my own people, new people (I’m a real “meeter and greeter” once I’m comfortable in my home) and I especially enjoy children (I had a 3-year-old that visited and we were the best of friends). I’m a young, solid black, golden-eyed boy with tons of love to give, and I sure hope that you’ll be on the receiving end of it for years and years to come!

Hi… my name is Nala,
Adopted March 21, 2016
When my mom had to move in with her parents while she finished college, her not-so-temporary lodging didn’t allow pets, so my housemate, Nash, and I needed to find new digs. Mom said that I love to be held and snuggled, will talk to you, love attention and children (I spent hours snuggling in the lap of the 3-year-old who visited!), and am just generally an all-around great, fun-loving teenager. Nash and I had to spend a lot of time alone when mom was in school, so I’m hoping for a place where my people will be around more. I’m a young, solid black, green-eyed girl with tons of love to give, and I sure hope that you’ll be on the receiving end of it for years and years to come!

Hi… my name is Tiger,
Adopted 11-21-17
Tiger has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate!
When my previous owner and I parted due to her health concerns, we’d been good friends for 6 years. I think that’s just my nature because being a loyal, devoted companion is what I do best. Oh, you could say I’m “handsome” thanks to my distinctive brindle coat and healthy physique (57 pounds). Also, “single-and-loving-it;” I really prefer to be your only canine. And definitely “well-trained”—I walk beautifully on a leash, and have earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate for my outstanding performance on behavior tests! But the best word for me is friend. I’m up for exercise and play, and for quiet times, too. I’ll be thrilled when you’re happy and understand when you’re sad because that’s what true-blue friends do, and that’s what you’ll get when you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Ivy,
Adopted May 1, 2016
On a cold winter’s day, I was alone, shivering, and about to give birth! Thankfully, some very kind people took me in, and I promptly delivered 8 puppies. What a relief to have my babies in a safe place! I took care of my growing pups until they were ready to be on their own. Now I’m on my own again, too, safe in foster care, with time to wonder what it feels like to truly belong to someone, to be loved in that forever way. Human friends say my day will come because lots of people would enjoy sharing life with a sweet, happy companion like me. I’m a medium-size Lab mix female, brindle with touches of white, and a big hope in my heart that you’ll let me be yours today.

Hi… my name is Buddy,
Adopted March 12, 2016
How does a friendly, great-looking dog like me end up walking alone in the road? We don’t have the answer to that, but I’m sure my future is a lot brighter now that I’m here, where I can meet you! I’m a young black Lab male, 67 pounds, with the typical Lab webbed feet and otter tail. My handsome coat has a gentle wave to it, and you could say the same about my personality because I’m a gentle guy, one who loves the company of people. Going for walks, playing, and just hanging out are all fun things we can share. I’m an even-tempered, people-pleasing guy who excels at being a charming and loving companion. If you think we’d be a good match, please come visit today. I’d love to be your buddy!
