Hi… my name is Lyric.
Adopted November 22, 2014.
I was born on April 23, 2013, so unlike a lot of pets whose origins are a mystery, you’ll know exactly when to celebrate my birthday each year! The family I lived with for nine months said, “Lyric is a very good and smart dog who craves attention. She loves kids very much and gives kisses like no other.” My only “problem” was that I was too rough with their older female dog (at my age, I’m still into romping!), but I’m getting along with my “roomies” here just fine! I’d love to find an active family that wants a devoted companion to join in the fun. I’m a striking, lanky, black shepherd mix girl who, with patient training and love, is going to turn in to one statuesque and well-behaved beauty!

Hi… my name is Tango.
Adopted September 27, 2014.
It was only after I arrived with my littermates (the “dance” kittens!), when things started looking up for me in life! We were all part of a passel of animals that came in from TALGV’s Outreach program and had been living outside all our lives. Well, now that I’m safe here and getting to know humans, I’ve got a lot brighter outlook on the world (and humans) and am eager to find my very own special place in the world. I’m a darling young, longhaired, solid black boy whose memory of the great outdoors wants to remain just that — a memory! Just give me a chance to prove how loving and appreciative a rescue kitten can be – your life will be the better for it!

Well, now that I’m safe here and getting to know humans, I’ve got a lot brighter outlook on the world (and humans) and am eager to find my very own special place in the world. I’m a darling young, medium-haired, solid black boy whose memory of the great outdoors wants to remain just that — a memory!

Hi… my name is Achilles.
Adopted May 6, 2015
Achilles has earned/received his American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.
When I first came me to TALGV last year, there was “no room at the inn,” so I stayed at a local boarding kennel for a while where the TALGV volunteers visited and walked me periodically so I didn’t get lonely. Well that was then and this is now, and things sure have changed since then! I’m SO proud to announce that I just earned my nationally accredited Canine Good Citizen award! That means that I’m friendly with strangers, do “heel, sit, down, and stay” on command, come when called, and lots of other “good behavior” things (check it out on the Internet!). I’m a classic black and white Staffie mix boy, now a bit over two years old, who is just aching for a chance to prove that I’m a real winner!

Hi… my name is Agatha.
Adopted October 15, 2014.
Since I arrived at TALGV, I have discovered that sitting on volunteers’ laps is quite nice, especially since I love to be brushed and have my forehead and ears scratched. I also think watching the “birds and the bees” (and whatever else moves!) doing their respective things from a window or porch is simply heaven on earth. (I had an Arizona room in my old home that was my favorite spot.) Mom and dad moved to a townhome in South Carolina that I guess didn’t allow pets, so I’m back at my old alma mater after four years hoping I can find a quiet person or couple who have space in their lives (and hearts!) for me. I’m a beautiful golden brown, golden-eyed, tabby lady and I’m hoping that my ultimate home is right around the corner.

Hi… my name is Red.
Adopted November 1, 2014.
If I were to put an ad in the “personals” section of the newspaper, it would be “Gentle, friendly, sweet and outgoing gentleman looking for active, loving companion to share long walks, car rides, and quiet moments contemplating nature.” Well, that’s my dream anyway. After my dad could no longer care for me, I spent most of my life in the yard where I got very little exercise (and undoubtedly too much food!), so I’m ever so hopeful that there’s an Aussie lover out there who would like to help me get back down to my ideal weight. I know it might take a while, but with diet modification, exercise, and your encouragement, I’m sure that I’ll be a poster boy for Weight Watchers in no time!
Red qualifies for TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program.

Hi… my name is Novie.
Adopted December 1, 2014.
After I arrived at TALGV last year, a family with six kids and three other cats made me part of their world. I got along great with all of them except their female cat, so although we tried to work it out, everyone decided I needed to be either an only cat or live with another, laid back, male. I’m a handsome, young “Chantilly” (check us out on the Internet!), who is gentle, quiet (“lazy” has been mentioned!), have perfect house manners (okay, I do counter surf once in a while, but that’s really a “cat thing”!), and I love people. My life would be complete if I had a lap, a bowl of munchies, and a few catnip mice to bat around, so if you have them, we should get together!
