Hi… my name is Bonnie.
Adopted December 28, 2014.
So you say you like “interesting” dogs? Well, I’m guessing they don’t get much more eye-catching than me! I’ve definitely got Shar Pei ears going on, along with a bit of a husky mask and shepherd body. Wouldn’t it be fascinating if they always did DNA tests on canines so you’d know? In any case, I’m one lovely girl who was found as a stray (sadly, that’s a pretty big club), but even though I was pretty frightened when I arrived, the volunteers say that I now get along great with people, walk well on a leash, and am using my doggie door like a trooper. They think I’m a “few” years old, and I weigh about 30 pounds, so with just a bit of education, I’ll be a well-behaved and loyal friend.

Hi… my name is Pear Tree.
Adopted May 11, 2015
My sister, Partridge, and I (I guess we were “Christmas babies”!) came to TALGV when our mom could no longer care for us after 8 years. We’d been living with dogs (that scared the dickens out of us!) and tortoises (which were okay), and just her (whom we loved), so it’s taking us a long time to adjust to our change in circumstances. She said that we were both shy, but would climb into her lap now and then “when the spirit moved us.” We both like to play with toys, however, and adore watching “the action” from a nice big window or porch, so I think once we find a place where there isn’t so much going (like there is here) we’ll revert to our quietly affectionate ways. Could you give us that chance?

Hi… my name is Hazel.
Adopted January 14, 2015.
When you learn that I was left to fend for myself when I was a puppy over three years ago, and that compassionate neighbors fed me ever since, I hope you’ll understand my current shyness (although they say I’m coming out of my shell more each day). My “caretakers” did say that during their interaction with me, I got along with kids and wasn’t at all aggressive — I’m just unsure of humans right now. I’ve learned to walk nicely on leash and enjoy the company of other dogs, so I’m sure that the time the volunteers are spending with me will be rewarded when I come out of my shell and turn into the wonderful companion I was meant to be. I’m a shepherd mix lady who just needs patience and love.

Hi… my name is Puss.
Adopted September 1, 2016
Puss comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.
It’s nice when humans move in together to care for one another when they’re ill, but sometimes we companions can’t always accompany them. When my mom had to go live with her step-mom, it turned out she was terribly allergic to cats, so I’m “on the market” again. I’m a striking, longhaired, Siamese/Himalayan guy who has lived with kids and dogs and who likes laser lights, cat toys, and most especially to be scratched under my chin and on my chest. Mom says that I occasionally give “love bites” to let you know when I’ve had enough, and that since I was abused as a youngster, I sometimes take time to warm up to you, but once I do, I’ll be your best friend forever! Oh, and I come with Free Vet Care for Life!

Hi… my name is Cypress.
I was adopted on April 24, 2014.
You may have read the story in the Green Valley News about how my family and I were found in the pecan groves. Well, my mom, Willow, her current litter of puppies, and I are all here safe and sound now, and of course with all the notoriety (and their cuteness!), the puppies are going like wildfire, but since I’m a bit older (about a year), I’m not getting quite as much attention from visitors. As the volunteers said, I pretty much didn’t know what happened to me, but they’ve made it their mission to teach me all the things that we canines are supposed to have “under our belts.” I’m a handsome Catahoula Leopard dog mix boy who now knows what it’s like to get “three squares” a day and lots of love, so everyone’s certain that it won’t take long for me to find out that a loving home with a real family is in my future.

Hi… my name is Bandita.
I was adopted May 22, 2014.
When my family moved to a new house, they said there wasn’t enough room for my two feline friends and me in addition to their dogs and parrots! My suggestion, of course, was to rehome the dogs and parrots instead of us, but they didn’t listen to me! Well my two friends have found homes in a flash because they’re exotic Egyptian Maus, but I can tell you that I’m just as special as they are — particularly if you love Tuxedos like so many humans do! My people found me as a kitten 4½ years ago (and although I’m an “adult” lady now, I still love games and toys!), and they said that I’ve always been very lovable and a “great family pet,” so I’d like to continue that tradition with another family that isn’t planning to move any time soon. How about yours?
Female – Shorthaired Tuxedo

Hi… my name is Ginger.
It’s not that I didn’t love kids (mine), but I have to say I am SO happy that I won’t have raise any more! When I was found on Abrego Drive, it was obvious that I’d had a litter recently, but they were nowhere to be seen, so I hope some good soul found homes for them. I’m a 20-pound, round-about 4-year-old, “Puggle” mix (that’s Pug and Beagle in case you didn’t figure it out!), and I’m super fond of people (and probably kids too), walk well on a leash, am housetrained, and just generally a wonderfully sweet lady. Given that I’ve been around the block a few times, I’m going to be ever so happy to settle down with an active family who will let me have the rest of my years (and they’ll be quite a few!) enjoying their attentions and being the loving companion that I’m meant to be without the distractions of motherhood!
