Hi… my name is Rhythm.

Adopted September 5, 2015

My siblings, Ballad, Harmony, Rhapsody, and Sonata (the “Music Litter”!) were found in the back of a junk truck in a yard in Sahuarita, and I’m here to tell you that we’re anything but “junk”! I guess our mom must have cared for us pretty well, as we were healthy and sprightly when we arrived, and eager to move on to real homes where we can “let it all hang out” in typical kitten style. There really isn’t much I need to tell you about my personality since everyone knows how totally charming and addictive we fluff balls can be (way better than TV or an iPad!), so just come see for yourself — if you’re a fan of frolicking kittens, you won’t be disappointed in one or two of us!

Hi… my name is Shiloh.

My friend, Jocko, and I lived together until a new baby was born to our family.   The new parents worried that we might play too boisterously around the newborn, and they just didn’t have time for training. So now I’m here, hoping that someone will look into my big brown eyes and see the great buddy I can be. I’m a good-looking, black and tan 5-year-old Shepherd mix female; active and playful. I’m already great at tug-of-war and if you know other games, we can have lots of fun playing those, too. Honestly, giving and receiving attention is my favorite thing. When you give me your time and love, I’ll give it back to you wholeheartedly. If that sounds good to you, I’m hoping we can meet real soon.

Hi… my name is Jocko (aka Jack).

Adopted November 16, 2015

A super nice dog. That’s how my foster family describes me and I think they’re super, too. Most mornings, foster dad lets me jog with him, and then in the evenings, foster mom takes me for a walk. Yes, I’m a very active guy for an 11-year-old; my cheerful attitude keeps me young. In between jogging, walking and playing, I like to curl up for a quick nap, especially if a person is nearby because I just love being around people. I know lots of people-pleasing things, like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “down;” I’m totally housebroken, and I come with Free Vet Care for Life! Honestly, I’m just a little guy wanting to be loved. If you could be “the one” for me, please have TALGV call me so we can meet real soon.

Hi… my name is Roxie.

Adopted August 22, 2015

I wish I could tell you my whole story and confide in you what made me shy, but for now will just say that I was so hungry for company that I approached a stranger’s house. He couldn’t keep me, so now I’m at TALGV, where my new friends are helping me build my confidence. They compliment my graceful movements and my beautiful brindle coat. I’m a 55-pound Boxer/Lab mix, so I have an athletic kind of build, but I’m good at stepping gently. Of course, I’d love to feel free to play and know the joy of hanging out with someone whose friendship I can always count on, so if that sounds good to you, too, please come for a visit. We can make lots of happy future stories together!

Hi… my name is Red Velvet.
Adopted August 29, 2015

I’m such a nice guy, you just know I’ve gone down some happy trails. But, somewhere along the line, I also became acquainted with that awful word “lost.” Lucky for me, I was eventually found—hard to miss at 98 pounds—and brought to TALGV. Those who’ve met me say that I am well trained (I like to think I’m what humans call “smart,”) and just naturally easy-going. I’m a handsome chocolate brown Lab mix, and at 6 years of age I’m not a pup anymore, but I’m glad to say that lots of humans are fine with that. If you are one of those people, please come for a visit. If you’ll let me, I would love to join you on that happiest trail of all – the one that leads to home.

Hi… my name is Raquel.

Adopted August 17, 2015

There’s not a whole lot to go on for my “story” because I just appeared at TALGV early one morning in May 2015, but when you meet me you won’t care one bit about where I’ve been and what I’ve done! Since there wasn’t room for me when I arrived, I was boarded at a kennel for a while, but everyone who met me knew that I would be a happy camper when I got into a home of my own. I’m a 45-pound, round about 2½-year-old yellow Lab mix (and you know how sweet and smart they are!), so take this opportunity to come meet me so we can talk about our future together!

Hi… my name is Sara Lee.

Adopted October 4, 2015

Some of my doggie neighbors here at TALGV have interesting stories about where they came from, or they arrived with a friend. I’m on my own. I probably had a home with someone, but one day I woke up in a place I didn’t recognize. That was so scary that I’m extra glad to be safe now.   I’m a cream-colored female Chihuahua mix, well fed (some have suggested I could lose a pound or two) and getting my walking exercise. Best of all, I like the quiet times when a human friend holds me.   Just sitting with a person can be the sweetest part of the day for me. If you like the comfort of togetherness, too, we should meet.  We can make our own great stories with each other.

Hi… my name is Scampi.

Adopted August 14, 2015

When you’re a dog without a home, lots of places can be dangerous.   My friend, Skippy, and I were found in a very dangerous place—the middle of a busy road. We’re sure grateful to the man who stopped to help us. And now that we’re safe, I’m focused on happy days ahead. I’m an 18-month-old Wirehaired Terrier female, and at just 16 pounds, I’m little in size but big in personality. I’m also super friendly and energetic. Fun things for me include playing in water—running through sprinklers is all kinds of fun– and if my playfulness keeps you entertained, all the better!   I say life is to enjoy and best when shared. If you agree, I hope we can meet. Maybe the happy home I dream of will be with you!

Hi… my name is Willow.

Adopted August 22, 2015

The people who adopted me when I was a kitten promised I’d always be an indoor cat, but when they started letting me outside and I began bringing them lots of mice and bird “presents,” they weren’t at all happy! Well it’s probably a good thing that they weren’t thrilled about that, since if they’d kept me, I undoubtedly would have had a lot shorter life! They did say, though, that I had “great behavior” otherwise, so now’s your chance to meet and fall in love with me and make sure that I have a safe, happy, indoor-only life where I can spend many long years entertaining you. I’m a strikingly marked dilute torti girl, now 14 months old, and want nothing more in life than to “feel the love” I deserve!

P. S. My baby picture is the last one of the group.

Hi… my name is Girl (aka Missy).

Adopted August 12, 2015

There are moves, and then there are MOVES! And when my dad had to move to Malaysia for work, their regulations on bringing a dog into the country were just more than he wanted to put me through. Although he’s going to miss me to pieces, he knew that I’m such a sweetheart I’d capture someone else’s heart just like I did his. I used to go to work with him every day, so you know I’m super well behaved and trustworthy. He said that I love chew toys, but my favorite thing is to be in your lap, so I’m hoping there are lots of people out there who have laps that need filling and hearts that need warming, ‘cause that’s exactly what I was designed for!

Hi… my name is Sugar Bear.

Adopted October 30, 2015

My foster mom and I talked about this message and here’s what we want to say: If you’re looking for a relaxed couch potato, I’m your man. I enjoy daily walks around the neighborhood to say hello to everyone, and I LOVE car rides, but no hiking or mile runs. When foster mom gets up at 4 a.m., I get up, go outside, and go back to bed. However, if you rustle pans in the kitchen, I’ll come running. I could be your sous chef! I’m not food aggressive, though. I’ve lived with dogs and cats, and I like them. I’m a 9-year-old Beagle, about 40 pounds. Foster mom says I’m “just a wonderful dude.” If I could be your happy guy, please ask TALGV to arrange a meet and greet for us.

Hi… my name is Milo,

Adopted November 15,2015

Sometimes it takes no time for new cats to adjust to one another, and sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Sadly, that’s what happened for me, so naturally the resident cat got to stay, and I’m back looking for a one-cat household where I can do my human-loving thing. My erstwhile mom said she fell in love because I love to purr and like all petting (even my tummy!), and spending quality lap time. I’m an arresting, 5½-year-old, silvery mix of Siamese and Persian — a combination that’s pretty much guaranteed to turn heads — and my personality is just as awesome. Although it may take a bit for me to come out of my shell, once I do, “Katie bar the door!” — I’ll be your new best friend!
