Fred

Hi… my name is Fred.

I was adopted July 16, 2014.

Okay, they say I’m rambunctious. Well, at only 6 months old I’m a big guy already, so between the exuberance of youth and a bit of heft, I must admit I am a handful. But oh what a happy, people-loving handful! My dad adopted me when I was an 8-week-old and he was working on my training, but sadly he developed an illness that severely limited his physical abilities. I stayed with his brother for a while, but he had small kids and although I enjoyed them, my enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming. I’m an imposing black Lab/Mastiff mix boy who knows a few commands, walks well on leash, and am “easily trainable,” so I’ve got a good start on the basics already. Won’t you help me round them out in my own home?

Blackie

Hi… my name is Blackie.

I was adopted on August 21, 2014.
After my dad had a stroke a while back, he found that he just wasn’t able to care for me any longer. It was super hard for him to make the decision to bring me here as he rescued me in Mexico three years ago and we have been best buddies since (he said, “A very lucky person will get this dog because he likes any human who shows an interest in him!”). I’m a little on the skinny side right now (even though I eat well) as I have tick fever, but I’m now getting medicine for that and should be fine in no time. I’m a lanky Doberman/shepherd mix boy who is well mannered in the house and on a leash. I get along great with everyone, so why not you?

Lucky

Hi… my name is Lucky.

Lucky has earned her Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Adopted July 10, 2015

My dad found me under a car when I was a puppy and kept me for four years, but recently when one of his other dogs started picking on me, he decided that I needed to find a “friendlier” home. Although I lived outside most of my life, I was allowed in the house occasionally (where I got along great with the kids but NOT the cats!), so it would be wonderful if I could find a home with a family that wanted me to be a bigger part of their lives. I’m a 42-pound shepherd mix girl, and although I may be a little reserved at the moment (things have changed awfully fast in my life!), I know that with love and patience, the “real me” will come shining through.

Arrived June 20, 2014.

Chase

Hi… my name is Chase.

Adopted March 16, 2015

Although I only lived with the family that adopted me for a short time, they said that I was very sweet and affectionate with people and simply LOVED car rides and long walks. I didn’t, however, get along with their cats or dogs, so they agreed that I needed to have a home where I could be “king of the hill.” I had a head start on good leash manners when I arrived, and now the volunteers are working on honing that skill along with quite a few others (I do a mean “sit” for a treat!). I’m an impressive, 85-pound yellow Lab/retriever mix (and I come with TALGV’s FREE Vet Care for Life). I’m sure experienced “big dog” people will applaud the day they chose me!

Chase comes with TALGV’s FREE Vet Care for Life.

Princess

Hi… my name is Princess.

I was adopted July 25, 2014.

You know when you meet me and I immediately roll over on my back to get belly rubs that I’m going to be one sweet and loving companion! A lady from Green Valley saw me pushed from a car in near I-19 in Tucson, and happily for me, she stopped, scooped me up, and brought me here. Whew! Without her that could have been a REALLY bad outcome for me! As a waif, there’s not too much I can tell you about my former life, but suffice it to say I’m outgoing and ever so eager to find a safe, lively home. I’m a young and a charming, 31-pound black Lab “in a smaller package” who promises to be the Velcro dog of your dreams. Just give me a chance!

Treasure

Hi… my name is Treasure.

Adopted January 12, 2015.

When I was found in the desert in June, I was too young to stay at TALGV since I needed round-the-clock care. Turns out that that was a good thing though as I got lots of attention, socialization, and love by humans, which now translates into a sweet, outgoing, and affectionate kitten (I’m aptly named if I do say so myself!). I’m a black shorthaired little sprite and since I’ve been living with a host of other kittens, I’m sure I’ll get along in any busy home (it would be nice to be able to go to one with one of my friends here — we’re “2 for 1” right now!). So why not take advantage of my sparkling personality (and a good deal!) and make me yours?

Arrived June 18, 2014

Sable

Hi… my name is Sable.

I was adopted September 14, 2014.

When you arrive with a fractured pelvis, you can be sure you’re going to get LOTS of attention and love. No one knows for certain, but they think that a car hit me (I’m still leery of them), so I was in pretty sad shape. I’m living with a foster mom while I’m recuperating, and she says that I am a sweet, calm girl who loves other dogs (I like to steal their toys and take them to my bed!), get along great with kids, am crate trained, and am “working on” the scary doggy door. I’m a lovely young 25-pound Aussie mix girl, and although I have a little “hop” because of my accident (they say I’m “part rabbit”!), I get along fine anyway, so why not let it be with you?

Elliot

Hi… my name is Elliot.

Adopted October 18, 2014.

When my biographer asked one of the volunteers about my personality (since I was found on the streets of Nogales, my “history is a mystery” as they say!), she said, “Oh, Elliot’s a hoot”! Well I’ll try to live up to that by being the most endearing, entertaining, into-everything, lap sitting, purr-in-your-ear companion you’ve ever dreamed of! They think I’m in the neighborhood of 12-18 months old so all the good things you love about kittens are still “going on” — just without the crazy stuff the really young ones are into. I’m a handsome, lanky, solid black guy (except for one white spot on my chest) and I’m longing to spend the rest of my life in the safety of a home where I can do “my thing” with you.

Gusty

Hi… my name is Gusty.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

Amber

Hi… my name is Amber.

Adopted May 31, 2015

After living with my senior mom all my life, It was quite a shock to find myself with lots of roommates! I’m a gorgeous, longhaired grey and white lady with, you guessed it, mezmerizing amber eyes! Once I get to know you, I’m quite the sweetie and will come when called to be petted and told what a beautiful girl I am! (The volunteers tell me this all the time!) I also like a fun toy occasionally, so a human to play with would be grand. A dogless/kidless home would be best for me, but another cat might be okay (although I’d probably warm up faster if it were just the two of us!). If you live a semi-laid-back life and would like a sweet companion to share it, please think of me!

Arrived June 16, 2014.

Breezy

Hi… my name is Breezy.

I was adopted July 16, 2014.

Mojo

Hi… my name is MoJo.

My first family had to move in with relatives who had cats, and neither the cats nor I were happy with the situation so they sadly relinquished me to TALGV. They said that I simply adored the kids (who liked to dress me up for special occasions!), and got on famously with other dogs. I went to live with a senor couple for a few months, but they just weren’t active enough for me, so my main goal in life is to get LOTS of attention and live with a dynamic family that has kids and another dog. I’m a “talkative,” high-energy Border terrier boy, love to chase bouncy toys and lights, and am very loving and loyal so please, please, please give me one more chance!
