Hi… my name is Cane.

Adopted July 26, 2015

Cane has earned/received his American Kennel Club (AKC)  Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.

My well-meaning family rescued me when I was three months old, but since they’d never had a dog before, raising a puppy was a lot more than they could handle and after six months finally decided I needed a more structured home where I could get consistent training and lots of attention. Well, I’m SO happy to report that now that I’ve been at TALGV for nine months that has happened in spades! I have been trained to sit, down, wait, will roll over for a treat, and have earned my Canine Good Citizen award — WAY more than just your run-of-the-mill obedience certificate! I’m a polite 18-month-old Pointer/Staffie mix boy who totally ADORES kids, and I just know that I’m going to be the loyal and loving companion you’ve always fancied.

Hi… my name is Cookie.

Adopted  December 29, 2014.

My brother, Chico, and I lived with our dad and his fiancée all our lives, but when they parted two years ago, he left us with her hoping he would be able to come for us when he got settled. That didn’t happen though, and since our mom worked long hours and was moving, she couldn’t keep us any longer. So for all you “Chihuahua people” out there, we’re both available to add a little spice to things for you. We hadn’t been getting a lot of attention lately, so we’re really hoping for a “homebody” with whom we can share our affection. We don’t “do” kids well, so an older, settled adult would be perfect. We’re 9 years old and have tons more living to do, so why not join us for the ride?

Hi… my name is Chico.

Adopted January 1, 2015.

I lived with my dad and his fiancée all my life, but when they parted two years ago, he left me with her hoping he’d be able to come for me when he got settled. That didn’t happen though, so for all you “Chihuahua people” out there, I’m a wonderfully sweet gentleman who’s available to add a little spice your life. Although the volunteers here are giving me as much attention as they can (it’s pretty crowded here, and I’m not getting as much as I’d like!), so I’m so yearning for a “homebody” with that I can lavish my affection on. I don’t “do” kids well, so an older, settled adult would be perfect. I’m 9 years old and have tons more living to do, so why not join me for the ride?

Beaux was adopted September 2, 2014.

BEAUX is a cuddly, smart, and energetic 4-month-old male Malti-Poo who needs a new loving home because older dog does not accept him. Beaux is very social and loving to all people. He has been neutered, has a microchip, and is ready for his next puppy shot. Beaux weighs 7 pounds and sleeps under the bed at night. He was potty trained on pads, goes outside and is generally housebroken, but he needs some additional training in this area. He likes to walk on leash and will sit when asked. Beaux would get along with other dogs that don’t mind his high energy, but cats and kids are unknown. There is no adoption fee for Beaux.

To arrange a meeting, please call Nan between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-307-6229.

Hi… my name is Sasha Jo.

Adopted October 3, 2014.

My family rescued me from a shelter over five years ago, but now they’re moving into an apartment and can’t take me with them. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about me, like I’m an easy rider with a calm temperament, like toys, to sit in the sun, and am a very well-mannered girl who is good in the house, a great watch dog, and LOVE belly rubs. What more could you want in a gal? I’m a beautiful shepherd/Shar Pei mix (note the ears!), who got along fine with “my” 8-year-old grandchild and other animals. I know a few basic commands (but am eager to learn more if you have the inclination!), know what “no” means, and well, I’m practically perfect if I do say so myself! Come find out for yourself!

Hi… my name is Henry.

Adopted May 8, 2015

When my active duty military mom moved to a new posting, pets weren’t allowed so my soul mate, Bob, and I lost our home. Bob was adopted right away, and without him, I became so miserable and intimidated by all the cats here, that a wonderful volunteer took me home to foster. She says I follow her around like a puppy, am fine with strangers, have a “great character,” am very inquisitive and graceful (I do like to jump!), love windows (oh, those birds!), and love to sit beside (not on!) you and snuggle/purr for all I’m worth. I’m a handsome buff tabby boy, and since I’ve lived with another cat, maybe I’d be okay with a similarly laid back feline. Or maybe I’d be just as happy as an only (preferably spoiled) child!

Bob

Hi… my name is Bob.

Adopted September 30, 2014.

When my mom, who was active duty military, had to move to Maryland for her new posting, pets weren’t allowed at the family’s new housing, so my housemate, Henry, and I lost our home. I lived with them all my life so it might take a while for me to adjust to my new circumstances, but since they say that I love attention and to be held and cuddled, I have high hopes that it won’t be long before someone recognizes my virtues! I’m a delightful, young bobtail grey tabby boy (thus my name I guess!), who is playful, kittenlike, and very gentle and tolerant of kids (I had two in my “former life”!) so I know that I’m going to adapt to my new life in a jiffy. Where better than with you?

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Hi… my name is Waffles.

Adopted January 4, 2015.

When you’re unceremoniously deposited on a doorstep with your newborn kittens, it’s pretty scary I’ll tell you! OK — better to be left there than in the desert, but still… Fortunately, TALGV has some wonderful volunteers who are willing to foster infant kittens (with or without their moms), so I went with one of them until my babies (Yogurt, Oatmeal, and Bagel, the “Breakfast Litter”) were old enough to be adopted. And now it’s MY turn to be in the spotlight instead of those oh-so-adorable (and rambunctious) kids of mine! I’m a sweet, love-everyone young jade-eyed tabby and white teenager, and since I’m no longer in the kitten production business, I can devote all my time and affection to just you! Doesn’t that sound like a plan?

Hi… my name is Lexie.

Adopted October 10, 2014.

It’s sad to think that your person doesn’t want you any longer! When I was found, they discovered that I’d been microchipped, but when they tracked down my owner, she never came to get me, so that’s pretty much what I’m left to think! I’m getting over it though, and am going to get on with my life with a new family that will appreciate my myriad good qualities. My rescuer said that I was very sweet and playful, got along with kids, and now that I’m here, I’m rooming with another dog, so I get along with her, too. I’m an enchanting 19-month-old black Lab mix girl and at that age I’m like a sponge — I’ll soak up all the training and love you can give me. Why not start today?

Arrived August 25, 2014.
