Hi… my name is Dean.

Adopted January 3, 2015.

Here I am up front: “LOTS of energy!” But since I’m probably under 2 years old, there’s a still lot of puppy “going on!” Since I was found roaming the grounds at La Posada, there isn’t a lot of information about me other than that (except that I’m a pretty sociable guy)! I was adopted by a gentleman shortly after I arrived, but after two days he said I was “too active” for him, so I’m here once again with my paws crossed that there’s an equally active family out there that would be happy to channel my energy into obedience and maybe even agility training. I’m an über-handsome, red and white Basenji mix (and not a whole lot of “mix” they think), and as the AKC says, we’re “…athletic dogs, who are alert, energetic, curious and sometimes reserved with strangers.” Well, we’re all individuals, so why not come see if we’re a match?

Hi… my name is Dieter.

Adopted April 5, 2014.

If “people friendly, high energy, good walker, and loves toys” appeals to you in a little (16-pound) canine friend, then I’m just made for you! I was found with a very bad neck wound by a Good Samaritan who brought me to TALGV right away and they zoomed me over to a vet to be cared for. I’m happy to tell you that all is well now (I am really happy to be out of the “e-collar” that I had to wear for a while!), and I’m now actively (literally!) looking for a family where I can hunker down and get on with a normal “best friend” kind of life. I’m about a year old, and a delightful mix of Dachshund and something else, and I know that you’ll celebrate the day you take me home and make me part of your life for years to come!

BB

Hi… my name is BB.

Actually, my “given” name is Keyper BB Seven, but you can just call me BB! My sister, Me-Me Bella, and I came from a family of four Pugs and lived with our canine parents, cats, kids and a human mom all our lives until she crossed the “Rainbow Bridge” recently. I’m a purebred Pug gentleman who loves to play and am VERY good in the house. I like to take long naps, and when it’s time to go to bed I go to sleep right away and stay quiet all night (unless there’s something going on that I need to tell you about!). I’m going to miss my other family and they’ll miss us, but since TALGV wants my sister and me to stay together, I know we’ll be fine because when we have new people to take care of and shower our love on, we’ll be just as friendly and well behaved as we’ve always been!

Hi… my name is Me-Me Bella.

Actually, my “given” name is Me-Me Arrow Bella, but you can just call me Me-Me Bella! My brother, BB, and I came from a family of four Pugs and lived with our canine parents, cats, kids and a human mom all our lives until she crossed the “Rainbow Bridge” recently. I’m a purebred, 8-year-old lady who loves to play and am VERY good in the house. I like to take long naps, and when it’s time to go to bed I go to sleep right away and stay quiet all night (unless there’s something going on that I need to tell you about!). I’m going to miss my other family and they’ll miss us, but since TALGV wants my brother and me to stay together, I know we’ll be fine because when we have new people to take care of and shower our love on, we’ll be just as friendly and well behaved as we’ve always been!

Hi… my name is Heidi.

I was adopted on June 25, 2014.

When our mom died recently, there was no one who could take my brother, Simon, and me in, so true to its mission TALGV came to the rescue. We’re both pretty disoriented right now as things have been awfully topsy-turvy for us for a while, but I’m sure once we get our “sea legs” under us we’ll return to our usual outgoing, people-loving selves. I’m a charming, shorthaired tabby and white lady, and I lived with my single mom for three years (no one is quite sure where I was before then). During that time, kids of all ages visited the house, and I was okay with them, but basically I led a fairly quiet life enjoying the company of mom and Simon (who I really hope I can stay with!), so I have high hopes that there’s a kind soul out there who will give us both a third chance at life.

Hi… my name is Aleka.

Adopted July 8, 2016

The people who found me in their yard kept me for about six weeks, but they already had other cats and dogs, so I guess they decided they’d already reached their “critter quotient.” (I got along with all of them though, so it wasn’t that I was antisocial or anything!). I’m very friendly with everyone, but I’m not a real lap-sitter or cuddle bunny. I do love to play and be around you, so if you’re looking for feline-type entertainment and a sit-by-your-side friend, I can do that in a minute. I’m a lovely young solid black, shorthaired girl (not a whole lot of grooming needed!) so come see what a sweetie I really am!

Hi… my name is Russell  (aka Rusty Boy).

Adopted 11-19-18

I come with FREE Vet Care for Life.

It’s amazing how some cats adjust really well to changes in their lives and others just don’t quite know how to handle them. Sadly, I fall into the latter category. Although I was a loving, active guy who enjoyed watching TV with my mom and snuggling next to her when she was reading, when I came to TALGV after I lost her, I sort of withdrew into my shell and haven’t been able to get that “loving feeling” back yet. But everyone agrees that with kindness and patience, a quiet, older “cat person” would undoubtedly help me regain my old “just wanna be loved” personality. I’m also old enough now to have Free Vet Care for Life, so my dream is to find a home where I can while away the hours doing that again.

(P.S. I am known as Russell here because there was a Rusty at TALGV when I arrived.)

Arrived February 9, 2014.
