Hi… my name is Madrid.

Adopted October 15, 2014.

When my siblings, London, Paris, and I arrived at TALGV we were only a few days old. Our mother was killed by dogs in Nogales while trying to lure them away from us, so we were truly lucky when the owner of the house saved us and brought us here. Then we were doubly lucky because there were two foster dads who could take turns feeding us every two hours (‘round the clock!) for weeks until we were old enough to make it on our own. So after all that human attention, you have to know what sweet, thankful, people-loving kids we are now! I’ve grown into a delightful, friendly, and very active boy, and all I want in life is another human or two to spend my life with!

Hi… my name is Raven.

Adopted Deceber 24, 2014.

Not to toot my own horn, but here’s what the volunteers are saying about me: “Raven is one of the best dogs we’ve had in a while. Besides being a wonderful mom, she’s house trained, loves people, walks well on leash, and wants to be a big lap dog.” The police and firemen rescued me when they responded to a call about Africanized bees and found me (and my nine puppies!) in a wire enclosure, so you know that I’m really happy to be here! My babies are all adopted now, so I’m free to get on with my life. I’m a striking, 60-pound black Lab mix lady who will undoubtedly make any Lab lover’s heart go pitty-pat, so come on down and visit me and see for yourself!

Hi… my name is Budger.

Adopted April 18, 2016

After being rescued from a motel room (it’s a long story), I’m super grateful to those helping me find my forever home. One is my wonderful foster mom. She understands I’m so shy that sometimes I can’t be friendly with new people. But once I get to know you, she says, I’m a “Major Snuggle Bunny!” She’s shown me the joys of living in a home, and praised me for learning house manners so quickly. I’m getting REAL good at meeting new dogs, being sociable, and learning to become comfortable with new people.  I don’t “do” cats well, but with people I know, I’m a lovable, sweet boy; a 70-pound, yellow Lab/Staffie mix who’d love to get to know you. If you feel the same, TALGV will call Foster Mom and we’ll meet soon!

Arrived April 3, 2014.

Hi… my name is Chloe.

I was adopted on April 12, 2014.

After my senior mom’s husband died, her kids kindheartedly gave me to her for company. I began life with her as a fairly small puppy, but, as these things go, I quickly developed into an 18-month-old, high-spirited teenager, got a lot bigger (well only 30 pounds!), and became “too much” for her. She taught me lots of commands though, and being an Australian cattle dog, it took no time at all to learn them, so for you people out there who think my breed is just the best there is (I certainly think so!), I promise that I’m going to be the dog of your dreams. I love people, am GREAT with kids, well behaved, and am a happy-go-lucky gal who wants to share all the joie de vivre I have with you!

Hi… my name is Boomer.

I was adopted June 19, 2014.

When my family moved to a new house, they said there wasn’t enough room for me in addition to their dogs and parrots! My suggestion, of course, was to rehome the dogs and parrots instead, but they didn’t listen to me! I’m a purebred Egyptian Mau and my exotic appearance is just the beginning of the magic of my breed. People also fall in love because we have irrepressible personalities, are sensitive, people-oriented, and dote on our family.  I’m a social butterfly (with humans, not other cats!) who loves laps, brushing, games, toys, and, well, practically everything about life! I’m also VERY smart, so if you want personality, looks, and brains, I can do all of that and lots more!

Boomer qualifies for TALGV Vet Care for Life program.

Hi… my name is Sampson.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

I guess you have to associate “big and strong” with my name. Well, I am that, but I’m a big people lover, too! I was found wandering on Sahuarita Road near the pecan groves, so naturally not much is known about my past, but the volunteers will tell you that I walk well on a leash (okay, I get distracted sometimes, but MOSTLY well!), am housebroken (I use my doggie door and NEVER have an accident in my room!), and will make some lucky family that has experience with guys like me a great companion and friend. I’m about 2-3 years old, and a genuinely handsome brindle mix of Boxer and Staffie, so do us both a favor and let me shine my light in your direction!

Hi… my name is Shelby.

I was adopted July 12, 2014.

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Madi) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “cuddler” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!

My “winter visitor” family adopted me from TALGV four years ago when my first owners relinquished me because of their health problems. I’ve made the annual trek back and forth to New Hampshire with them (and my best friend, Shelby who was recently adopted) ever since, but they now feel that the trip is too much for them with two fairly big dogs. I’m a delightful (albeit a bit shy), black Lab/shepherd mix lady who just wants to be part of the action with you. So…if you’re looking for a leash- and house-trained “sweetheart” (according to my mom) who loves to chase balls, play with other dogs in the dog park, knows lots of commands, and will be the love of your life, then that would be me! Come find out for yourself!
