Hi… my name is Celine.
Adopted October 10, 2014.
The volunteers are pretty certain that I belonged to someone recently because 1) I am a TOTAL sweetheart, and 2) I was wearing a collar when I was found in Sahuarita Heights. I was being chased by dogs when the owner heard them barking, opened the door and in I scooted — right into his bedroom and into his bed! I’m a gorgeous black and white tuxedo girl, about a year or so old, and they say that I have the softest “rabbit-like” fur you’ve ever felt. Having gone through that experience, you can bet that I’m planning to make your home, your bed, and undoubtedly your lap, the only places I’m going to want to occupy in the future — you can keep your “great outdoors!”

Hi… my name is Winkie.
Adopted November 9, 2014.
I’m sure you can guess how I got my name! A gentleman dropping off his trash found me “dumpster diving” and, smarty-pants that I am, I followed him home. I had a badly infected eye, so the vet removed it and gave me medicine to clear up some health problems (dumpster food isn’t the most nutritious in the world!). My foster mom says that I’m “getting the gist” of potty training, am “eating like a pig,” and having a blast playing with her other dogs and kids. I adore attention, being cuddled, sleeping with the kids, and am learning leash manners. I’m a sweet Lab mix girl about 3 months old and “all puppy,” so my dreams are filled with thoughts of having my own family, a yard, and maybe another canine playmate to share life’s joys.

Hi… my name is Pinta.
Adopted February 27, 2015
It’s been an exciting few months for me I can tell you! When I first arrived at TALGV I was frightened, hungry, and had several wounds that needed tending, so I’ve spent my time recovering from all that distress. Well, now I’m happy to say I’ve been living with a foster family for a while, and they say that although I’m still a bit shy, I’m very friendly, love affection (and attention!), and love playing with their two dogs. They think that I’ve probably lived in a home once, as I’m totally housebroken and take a shot at the sofa once in a while (didn’t work, but I got a cushy dog bed instead!). I’m a svelte young heeler/shepherd mix who yearns for a settled home where I can feel secure. Pinta passed her American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification test with flying colors on February 16, 2015. Many thanks to her foster parent for assisting with this important training.

Hi… my name is Mr. B.
Adopted September 30, 2014.
When I arrived at TALGV six years ago, one of the volunteers snapped me up practically before anyone could say “Wow — what a gorgeous kitten!” because she recognized me as a Bengal (if not purebred, then 99.9% pure!), and she knew what a wonderful (and rare) breed we are. There are just tons of good stuff about me on the intake papers, such as “likes to chase anything that moves, is used to quiet, loving attention, and adores being brushed .” I love high places (that’s what cat condos are for!) and like fish flavored food. So if “quiet/laid back, playful/kittenlike, and independent” appeal to you in a cat, I’m your one-stop shopping source!

Hi… my name is Titan.
Adopted September 28, 2014.
My pictures make me look a lot bigger than I am (especially since they think I’ve got a bit of Mastiff or maybe St. Bernard in me!), but I only weigh about 45 pounds, so you get “the look” without the gigantic size! I was found running with another dog on River Road in Rio Rico so your guess is as good as mine as far as my life before TALGV. But the volunteers say that I’m a gentle, shy, loving guy who just wants to be someone’s constant companion. If you’re familiar with my “guessed-at” breeds, you’ll know that we’re “extremely gentle, friendly and very tolerant, patient, obedient, extremely loyal, eager and willing to please.” (Sounds sort of like the Boy Scout motto doesn’t it?) At any rate, please come meet me and see for yourself!

Hi… my name is Tally.
Adopted October 31, 2014.
When I arrived here as a kitten, I was so tiny I had to live with a foster mom until I was old enough to make my debut at TALGV. She said that I was one of the sweetest cats she’d ever known, and had it not been for the menagerie she’d already acquired (all rescues!), she’d have kept me in a minute. I went to live with a couple that didn’t treat me very well (and they had me declawed — which they’d promised NOT to do!), so I’m actually glad to be back at my alma mater! I’m still the sweetheart I’ve always been, so my catnaps are filled with visions of a loving home where I can start a new journey in life.
