O’Sirrus

Hi… my name is O’Sirrus.

Adopted December 24, 2014.

“New person in home is allergic.” I wonder how many cats have heard that? Wouldn’t it be great if the pharmaceutical industry could develop a simple, one-time, “get rid of pet allergies” shot for humans! I lived with my family, including one kid and two dogs, for several years, and they say that although I’m not the hunkering-down lap-sitting type, I’m a friendly guy who does like to be next to you on a chair or the sofa (and in bed sometimes!). I’m also a real “looker” with long, black and white “Tuxedo” coloring, am about 7 years old now and still looking for that celebrated “forever” home. Won’t you prove to me that it’s really not a dream?

Dawn

Hi… my name is Dawn.

My pal, Dusk, and I were abandoned in early February so my origin is a mystery, but now that I’m here the volunteers are discovering more about my personality every day. I’m still a little shy (I had to board at a local kennel for a while, so didn’t get a lot of one-on-one time), but I’m basically a friendly gal who walks “pretty well” on a leash (the more often I go out, the better I get!), and I really like people a lot when I get to know them. I’m a fluffy, mahogany-colored, Retriever/Chow mix girl, and I’m sure if I had a nice big yard and kids (or another dog pal) to play with, I’d become the loving companion I was meant to be. If you’d give me a chance, I’d be forever grateful.

Bailey

Hi… my name is Bailey.

Adopted April 28, 2015

In 2009 I went to live with my single mom, another dog, and a cat after I’d been “dumped” at a neighbor’s home and have been there ever since. Unfortunately, her circumstances changed and she had to move to an apartment where they only allowed one dog, so “last in, first to go,” made me “odd girl out.” I’m a sweet, high-energy, heeler mix girl, who is housebroken, knows quite a few commands, and loves to play ball (I need a few lessons in returning it though!). I get along well with everyone (well, sometimes I’m a little shy), but since I spent a lot of time in the yard, I could use a little more training so that I can be the perfect companion. If you have a nice, big fenced yard, and time to spend on my education, I know you and I will be the best of friends.

Jasmine

Hi… my name is Jasmine.

I was adopted July 6, 2014.

I don’t want to put the kibosh on my chances for a new home and life, but I have to be up front and tell you two things — I’m not your typical lap cat (well, I can be on MY terms!) and I’m an early bird! After being at TALGV for quite a while, I was adopted by a couple who had one other cat (with whom I got along fairly well), but I just wasn’t the hang-around-with-you type of gal they were looking for. Also, I sometimes like to play fetch in the early morning, so will bring you my toys in the hopes of scoring a lively game of “go get it”! Okay, now the “good stuff”! I’m a gorgeous Siamese and Oriental Tabby mix, who, is pretty much a “one-person” lady, so I’m hoping that there’s a special “early-riser” person (who doesn’t mind feline foibles!) right around the corner for me!

Snickers

Hi… my name is Snickers.

A Snickers bar may at the top of everyone’s favorite sweet list, and I’m betting that I’ll be your favorite sweetheart too when you take me home! I was adopted by an older couple from TALGV when I was a kitten, and have been busy adding zest to their lives ever since. Sadly, dad died recently, and my mom is planning to do a lot of traveling and can no longer care for me. I’m a handsome Siamese mix gentleman who is “smart, independent, and lovable” (when I get to know you) and love to lie on my back (not the usual position for most felines!). I’ve lived indoors all my life (the way it’s supposed to be), so I’m not the “escape artist” type, and will happily enjoy the goings on outside from the safety of a window or patio door. If you’re looking for a calm and gentle companion, I’m your guy!

Gracie

Hi… my name is Gracie.

I only spent three days with my rescuers (who found me at the Sahuarita Baptist church, hence my name!), but in that time they said that I was a friendly girl who was gentle and tolerant with their kids, but that I preferred human company over the resident dogs. Apparently I “slept a lot,” but that might just be because I’d probably been living outside for a while since I’ve got a few scars to attest to my less-than-perfect-so-far life. At my age, I may have seen more “action” than many dogs twice that age. I’m a small and pretty, retriever mix, and I’m absolutely positive that if you give me a safe, loving home, you’ll wonder what you ever did without me — and I’ll think I won the doggie lottery with you in my life! C’mon, make that happen for both of us!

Frankie

Hi… my name is Frankie.

Frankie has earned his Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

Adopted February 12, 2014

“Frankie is a super sweet boy who will lick you to death if you let him.” Nice intro, huh? I’m a Staffie mix who was adopted by my family a year ago and got along fine with their other dog until I decided I wanted ALL the attention, so that didn’t work out well for me! Here’s some of what my people said: “Frankie loves going out to the desert and being outside in general. He does very well with kids (ours are 18 months and 3) and is protective of them when we are outside. He should be the only pet in an active home, especially one with an outdoorsy male figure. He needs to be inside with people whenever possible, not left outside to his own devices because he gets bored and it hurts his feelings.” Oh, there’s lots more good stuff, so come for a “meet and greet” and see for yourself!

Trapper

Hi… my name is Trapper.

Adopted March 24, 2016

I was kind of enjoying bring free and easy in a Canoa Heights neighborhood for a while, but the residents were pretty sure that my life wasn’t going to be worth a plug nickel for very long living “paw to mouth” out there, so now I’m doing my “roaming” at TALGV. Pleasant as it is though, I have to say that I’d way rather be doing it in a nice house with lots of rooms and nooks and crannies to explore (or even better a screened Arizona room where I could keep a “close up and personal” eye on everything!). I’m a handsome, “Morris-like” orange tabby guy, and I’m pretty sure that “certain something” you’ve been dreaming about is me!

Arrived January 24, 2013.

Freckles

Hi… my name is Freckles.

I was seen wandering in Madera Highlands for about a month before I showed up at the back door of a home there hoping they’d take me in (and feed me!). They did, but unfortunately they weren’t “in the market” for another pet at the moment, so here I am, seeking my fortune elsewhere. It appeared from a few dings and nicks on my paw that I’d been in a tussle with another critter or gotten it stuck somewhere, but that’s healing nicely, and I’ll be good as new in no time. While I was at my rescuers’ home, I met their dogs and cats and I seemed to get along fine with them, so maybe I’d be okay with a friend or two in a new home. I’m an orange tabby boy, about a year old, and I know I’ll be one of those “forever grateful” companions in the second of my nine lives!

Baby Cat

Hi… my name is Baby Cat.

Adopted February 7, 2015

You can really get attached to someone after living with them for eight years, so you’ll forgive me if I’m a little on the reserved side at the moment. My mom had to move to an assisted living place near her family in Kansas, and as is the case most times, my housemate, Mama Cat, and I couldn’t go along too (she found another home with a wonderful family, so I’m hoping that one of these days it will be my turn!). I’m a lovely calico lady, and after bit of a “settling in” time I’m sure I’ll make friends pretty easily. I’ve never been around children or dogs, so I think that another home with a quiet, older person or couple would be just right. I know there are a lot of felines to choose from here, but I’d be ever so grateful if you’d give me a second chance!

Velma

Hi… my name is Velma.

Adopted April 8, 2014.

Don’t you HATE allergies? You hate them if you have them and you hate them when you’re the cause of them — and that’s my story. I lived with my family until their youngest son developed a sensitivity to me, so that’s why I’m now looking for a new home. Sadly, I really loved playing with the kids, so being so close to them probably exacerbated the problem. I also shared the house with a dog, and I’ll tell you up front that I’d REALLY rather not have to live with another one of those critters — they are just too “nosy” if you know what I mean! I’m a quiet and laid back ebony lady whose favorite things are “playing with toys and sleeping,” so I’ll either be entertaining you or be snuggled up next to you, take your pick! Just think what a great match we’d be!

Maggie

Hi… my name is Maggie.

I was adopted July 9, 2014.

I appeared on the front porch of a home in Amado last year and stayed there for three weeks while he looked for my owners. During that time there was one of those rare winter storms and I didn’t like being outside in that at all! Well, for now the storms are gone (and apparently so are my erstwhile owners!), so here I am, looking for a safe haven where I can weather the summer monsoons in the home of my new family. I’m a lovely Staffie/Boxer mix girl, and I even know commands like sit, stay, down, and shake, so someone loved me enough to teach me them at one time. I’d make a great watchdog, and although I’m not fond of other dogs (I’ve never been around cats), I adore people and giving kisses, so have great expectations that you’ll want me to share them with you!
