Hi… my name is Kush.

Adopted March 15, 2015

When you can’t say “no” to rescue animals, sometimes you end up with one too many, and that’s what happened with my mom. She had three other dogs, and since she worked long hours we all spent a lot of time in the yard making our own entertainment (which sometimes involved a good bit of hail-fellow-well-met hullabaloo!). Mom said that I loved attention, being cuddled, am “quite the athlete,” and although at times a bit nervous with strangers, warm up quickly if you approach on my own terms. I know a few commands (“stay” and “be good”) and will be learning lots more here you can bet! I’m a small yellow Lab mix boy, about two years old, and I know that both our lives would be better lived together!

Hi… my name is Jingles.

Adopted July 31, 2105

If there’s one thing I learned during my life on the streets, it’s that there are things that are way better than the great outdoors! Like three squares and a cozy lap for instance! When the nice lady who had been feeding me for a few weeks decided to keep me, I thought I’d really gotten lucky, but unfortunately I didn’t want to share her affection with the resident dog, so she decided I needed a person and home where I could be top cat. As a typically outgoing young buff tabby boy, I’m going to have many years ahead of me to make up for all that lovin’ I missed out on while I was “pawloose” and fancy free!

Hi… my name is Kiddo.

Adopted March 28, 2015

I think people sometimes forget how active young puppies can be! My mom adopted me when I was a cuddly 8-week-old and has been taking really great care of me since. I got along great with her Chihuahua (although I was considerably bigger and a lot more exuberant than he was), but mom said that I had no problem behavior, just “too much energy” for someone her age. I’ve learned quite a few commands (sit, down, stay, and walk) and am a loving, smart girl. I’m learning to catch a Frisbee (I’ll fetch anything actually!), and am a “wonderful, willing dog who will learn everything for a treat.” I’m a young German shepherd/Staffie mix girl looking for an active family that will give me all the exercise and love it can dish out!

Hi… my name is Cindy.

Adopted November 27, 2015

As all “cat people” know, felines can be changeable creatures! I lived with my single mom and three other cats peaceably for six years, until a few months ago when the cats started intimidating me and my heretofore-perfect house manners took a hit. Mom said I’m the sweetest lady in the world, who adores humans and will happily greet visitors, love to spend lots of lap sitting time, will come when called, and am generally a gentle and loving companion. I’ve never been around kids or dogs, so I’m hopeful there’s another quiet (cat-free!) home out there waiting to share my feline kind of love. I’m a classic brown tabby who promises to be the light of your life when it’s just the two of us!

Hi… my name is Sheba.

Adopted February 8, 2015

I think it should be written somewhere in the human code of conduct that they are never allowed to move to a new home unless pets are permitted! Well, it would be too late for me now anyway, but it’s just a thought! My not-so-little family consisted of six kids, another cat, and a dog (I sure hope they found a BIG place to live!), and we all got along splendidly. Mom said was very gentle and loved to sleep and play with the kids, loved feather toys, and was just generally an all-around wonderful quiet and laid back lady (I had to be with so much going on!). I’m an adaptable shorthaired black and white gal whose background will undoubtedly allow lots of options for a new home!

ROCKY is a 5 1/2-year-old, 80-pound, fawn-colored bullmastiff mix male who needs a good home. He was found wandering in the desert between Sonoita and Corona de Tucson. Flyers were posted but owners could not be found. Rocky is affectionate and loves to be around people; he is social, smart, and quiet. He loves to sit and shake for treats. He is in good health; finder has provided all shots and will have him neutered and TALGV will have several fatty tumors removed. Rocky is housebroken, leash and crate trained. He gets along with other large dogs; likes small dogs and kids; cats are unknown. There is no adoption fee for Rocky.

Hi… my name is Jesse,

Adopted 2-26-17

When you’ve lived with twelve other cats and three dogs, you’ve got to be considered a pretty flexible feline! All of my tribe came to TALGV after my mom went into a nursing home (even for those places that allow a pet to accompany it’s person, my menagerie was a bit over the top!). Even though we were all loved and wonderfully cared for, I’m still a bit on the reticent side in my new surroundings. I do enjoy hanging out in a “catominium” where I welcome the volunteers “loving on me.” It’s really my strategy, you see, pretending I’m shy so they’ll seek me out! Hey, it’s working! I’m a handsome shorthaired solid black guy who’s yearning for the chance to show you just how adaptable and loving I can be.

Hi… my name is Teller.

Adopted January 29, 2015.

Wouldn’t it be great if they did DNA testing on all the “mystery” dogs that come in to TALGV? What a great genetic mix you’d find! In my case they’ve got bets going on Anatolian shepherd, Swiss Mountain dog, or maybe even a smidge of St. Bernard, but no matter, you’d be a winner with any of them! I was seen being dropped out of a car in Amado, so there’s no clue about my origin. Suffice it to say, I’m going to be a pretty big guy (I’m only about 3 1/2 months old as of mid-January, so have quite a bit of growing to do!), but lots of times big dogs are way more easygoing than the little active ones! Why not adopt me and see for yourself!

Hi… my name is Penn.

Adopted March 16, 2015

Wouldn’t it be great if they did DNA testing on all the “mystery” dogs that come in to TALGV? What an interesting genetic mix you’d find! In my case they’ve got bets going on Anatolian shepherd, Swiss Mountain dog, or maybe even a smidge of St. Bernard, but no matter, you’d be a winner with any of them! I’m “overnighting” these days with a volunteer and she says I’m doing great – learning good leash manners, ride well in the car, and use doggie door. I’m getting along fine in a home environment and adjusting to living with other dogs. Suffice it to say, I’m going to be a pretty big guy (I’m only a few months old now, so have quite a bit of growing to do!), but lots of times big dogs are way more easygoing than the little active ones! Why not adopt me and see for yourself!
