Hi… my name is Katy Joe,

Adopted 7-28-18

You know that saying, “You can never be too rich or too thin”? Well, I wouldn’t know about the “rich” part, but when I first arrived at TALGV over a year ago, I really WAS too thin, but in my time here, I’ve managed to put weight on my bones and now I’m a “perfect 10”! After I was here for a while, I was adopted by a couple that had two dogs and two cats, but in just a few months, it became clear that I really wanted to be the only one to rule the roost, so I’m back again in all my shining glory, looking for a place where I can do just that. I’m a lovely, young, pure white girl with spellbinding golden eyes, and although my early life is a mystery, with humans, I’m a sociable, curious little thing who will undoubtedly bring tons of joy to my new family.

Hi… my name is Castle.

Thank goodness for TALGV’s Community Outreach Program! A woman confined my friend, Sandy, and me in a cage with no food or water for five days until her neighbor rescued us. We were in bad shape when she first took us in, but she cleaned us up and fed us well, so it didn’t take long for us to get back to our old selves. She would have kept us, but she already had a few other pets that weren’t ecstatic about our arrival, so it was Outreach to the rescue! I’m a young, super-handsome, flame point Siamese boy  (we’re not all that common you know, so I’m pretty special in lots of ways!), and my rescuer said that I was good with cats and dogs, and really loved people. I know it won’t take long for me to forget my past once I find my new home, so why not help me do just that?

Hi… my name is Dennis.

Adopted June 12, 2015

Standing in the middle of Continental Road wasn’t the brightest thing I’ve ever done, but actually maybe it was, as a wonderful couple stopped their truck and I jumped right into the back, so it worked out pretty well because I got to come to TALGV! I’m a tan, 55-pound, shepherd and Staffie mix boy, and they say I’m really a very sweet guy who loves people, gets along okay with other dogs (but not cats), so everyone thinks that I’d make a great companion for an active family that has time to devote to my education (and then to play!). My philosophy is that everyone needs a canine in their life, so I’m here to make that happen for you!

Hi… my name is Sweetie Pie.

Adopted April 12, 2015.

If they could have found a better name for me, I don’t know what it would have been! The wonderful lady who found me said, “She’s a super sweet dog who loves to kiss and will make a GREAT PET — I wish I could keep her!” She found me running along Continental Road near the Performing Arts Center and only had me a short time, but said I got along well with her Westie, knew “sit and stay,” and was a very grateful girl to have gotten out of the road. I’m a beautiful grey and white Staffie who is about 3½ years old, and although I had a lot of irritation on my feet when I arrived (probably from walking in the desert) and a few other things that needed attention, the volunteers here will see that I’m all fixed up and ready to move on in no time. Why not visit and see for yourself?

Hi… my name is Madison (aka Kiki),

Adopted 12-30-17

I’ve been keeping a low profile here in my “cubby” since I arrived back in 2013, but that just underscores what my mom, who had to give me up because of allergies in our home, said — “the more attention you give her, the more she’ll open up” — but I’m afraid that’s kind of hard to do with so many other cats here vying for your affections! She also said I’m fairly independent, but when it was just the two of us and things were peaceful, I loved petting, being groomed, and playing with the odd toy now and then. I’m a quiet lady (who prefers being called “Kiki,” a condensed version of “kitty kitty”), and I’ll bet with a bit of patience, I’ll win your heart in a minute!

Eli

Hi… my name is Eli.

Adopted January 4, 2015.

One look in my sky blue eyes and you’ll see my Siamese origins, but they think that’s been “diluted” a bit with some beige tabby genes too — the result of which is one knock-your-socks-off gentleman (well, probably not a “gentleman” yet, at my young age I’ve got a way to grow into that “title”!). I was adopted right after I first arrived by a lovely couple, but after a while I didn’t get along with their small female cat, so they’re guessing that I’d do best in a one-cat home. I love people though, and playing with toys, so I’ll bet that if you have a hankering to add a quiet and laid-back “looker” to your life, I could fit that bill in one heartbeat of a hummingbird!

Hi… my name is Beans.

I was adopted April 30, 2014.

It should be written somewhere that when a divorce occurs, someone in the family has to be responsible for keeping the family cat! My people tried to “rehome” me, but my presence at TALGV indicates that they didn’t have any success. In the time that I lived with them, I got along great with the kids and the resident dog and they said that I’m a “super, super, super” sweet and loving girl. I’m solid black, young (adopted from the Humane Society when I was just a classic wee ball of fluff), and although I’m sometimes a bit shy, I really do enjoy a good romp now and then. I do have one “negative” however, and that’s that I’m allergic to shots, but I’ve been an indoor girl all my life so I’m healthy as can be. If you come meet me, you’ll discover how much you’ve been missing without me!

Hi… my name is Lila.

I was adopted May 19, 2014.

My “probably” sister, Leala, and I glommed on to a house in Sahuarita Heights at the end of September, and after the owner fed us for a few weeks and no one showed up looking for us, he brought us here to TALGV. He might have kept us forever, but he already had two other dogs (along with horses, which we never bothered!), so he figured he had a full complement of “dependents.” I’m a lovely young 50 pound Australian heeler mix girl. The volunteers said that I walk “pretty well” on a leash, am friendly with people, seem okay with other dogs (I’ve really bonded with Leala, so it would be great if we could go to a home together!), and am a very sociable girl. I’m “double-dog sure” that with just a bit of education I’ll be a grand addition to your life!

Hi… my name is Toby.

My family adopted me from a shelter when I was nine months old, and I lived with them for three months until it was apparent their resident female and I weren’t ever going to be the best of friends (but WAY on the plus side, I got along great with the two cats and kids they had!). So, that said, everyone is positive that I’ll make a wonderful companion for an active family where I can be “top dog.” I’m a handsome, young 53-pound, Staffie mix boy, and my dad says, “Toby is very cuddly, thinks he’s a lap dog, wants to please, and is a quick learner.” I’ve been to obedience school and know sit, come, let go, and wait — all really important commands for us canines to master, so I’m betting I’ll find a place of honor in your life in no time after you take me home!

Hi… my name is Bambi.

Adopted November 22, 2014.

I’m a beautiful red-gold shepherd/basenji mix girl who wants nothing more in life than to be your one true love. My preference in companions is humans of the adult kind — I totally love them. I lived with kids and other dogs once, and I found that I’d really prefer life to be just me and my people — going for walks, rides in cars, romping in a nice yard, and just generally hanging out.  I’m perfectly house trained, walk nicely on a leash, and know all the basic commands. So if you’ve had experience being the “leader of the pack” with devoted breeds like me, then I think we’d do just fine. Come on in and meet me and see if it’s meant to be.
