Hi… my name is Benji,

Adopted 5-12-20

Once upon a time, I was rescued from a big highway, and I’ve been a lively, active guy ever since. I’m happily entertained with squeaky toys and balls, but have been hesitant around strangers, and need time to get acquainted and trust new people. On the other hand, I positively thrived in the foster home environment. Foster mom reported I learned how to interact with two other dogs, rode beautifully in the car, stayed off her furniture, and was housetrained. I didn’t even try to steal the remote! Friends say I’m smart, energetic, and have pleased the patient, understanding people who care about me. Will you let me make you a proud dog parent?

Hi… my name is Lizzie,

Adopted 6-27-18

Comes with Free Vet Care for Life

I was adopted from TALGV 8-1/2 years ago (when I was 3), and the only reason I’m back is because my beloved person died. I like to think she’d be pleased with the nice things people say about me here—that I’m very friendly, lovable, and “seem younger than my stated age.” Even on my intake exam—temperature-taking and everything—the medical folks said I was cheerful, totally cooperative, and an “absolutely wonderful dog.” Being an 11-1/2-year-old Shepherd/Doberman mix female, (who comes with Free Vet Care for Life!), I’ve learned some important things, like how to walk on a leash, “ask” to go outside, and, best of all, how to appreciate and love my person with my whole heart. So here’s my big question: May I please have a forever place in your heart?

Hi… my name is Scrumptious,

Adopted 6-4-18

I’m betting you’ve heard “the ayes have it” after an affirmative vote, so I’m here to tell you that in my case, “the EYES have it!” Their gorgeous sea-green color makes my glossy black fur just pop, so whoever designed me sure had “wow!” in mind! Spending time outdoors is pretty much always fun for humans, but for me it was mighty scary until I was rescued, so a safe home, a warm lap, yummy food and love galore will put all my fears of the wild to rest. I’m only about 2 years old and a total lovebug, so I’m dreaming of spending all the rest of the many I have ahead with you!

Hi… my name is Sassy,

Adopted 5-26-18

My finder wasn’t shopping for a black Lab at a local thrift store, but that’s where she found me! Hard to believe I was just left behind, but I had neither collar nor microchip, so I was good and truly lost. A 5-year-old female, about 64 pounds, I got along with my finder’s other dogs, but chased her cat. Other than that, she gave me lots of good reports—said I’m housebroken, people-friendly, smart, affectionate, and very sweet. Three kids visited, ages 4 to 10, and I was okay with them, too. Mind you, when first here, I was pretty anxious and some new dogs made me nervous. But human kindness and affection can work wonders. Today, I dare to dream that someone will choose me as their loving companion—someone wonderful like you!

Hi… my name is Cheetah,

Adopted 5-18-18

My siblings and I were abandoned as babies, along with Mom, and left to the mercy of the elements. A neighbor fed us over the fence around our small space until the lucky day when we were rescued. Having had little human contact, we were terribly shy at first and huddled together, especially protective of our littlest brother, who’s a bit more delicate than the rest of us. But now, with food, water, and human kindness in constant supply, we’re developing a fondness for people, and hope to increase our confidence. Plus, playing with toys, going outside, wrestling with each other—it’s all coming so easily now. I’m Cheetah, the only girl, 15 pounds at 3 months and growing. If you’re patient and understanding, could we possibly love each other? Let’s meet and find out!

Hi… my name is Mader,

Adopted 10-14-18

Mader has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us—two other dogs and I were found near the interstate. When we arrived here, being together gave each of us the added confidence needed to meet new people, and that’s sure been worth it. My new friends have shown me that people can be as much fun as dogs! I’m a Lab/Staffie mix male, mainly black with touches of white, and about 57 pounds. As a 1-year-old, I’m looking forward to lots of fun, happy times, and I bet you can teach me how to be the best dog I can be. Here’s hoping we can start real soon, because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Hi… my name is Foxy,

Adopted by The Humane Society 11-25-18

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us—a male dog, another female and I were found near the interstate. Now, being together here has been helpful, too, because it’s given each of us the added confidence needed to meet new people. Happily, I’ve been the friendliest of our little trio and it’s sure been worth it! My new friends have shown me that people can be as much fun as dogs! A nice size at 47 pounds, I’m a 2-year-old Lab/Staffie mix female, black with touches of white, a couple of almost-hidden scars from the past, and, best of all, an eagerness to get to know you because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Hi… my name is Bailey,

Adopted 7-30-18

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

Even though I’m 9 years old, I’m sure some of my happiest trails are still ahead of me. Here’s one way I know: I recently had great fun with a family including five children (age 10 and older). We played fetch, the kids liked it when I’d sit, stay and come on their say-so, and I loved it when they kept saying, “Bailey is awesome!” At 75 pounds, I’ve been called a shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix, but you can just call me a big loveable guy. I need a new home because my person became seriously ill and couldn’t keep me. I hope it helps that I come with Free Vet Care for Life, and I also come ready to relax, have fun, and be your faithful companion. Will you give me that chance?

Hi… my name is Stumpy,

Adopted 5-20-18

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

Yep, you’re right – I got my name because I don’t have a tail! They’re not sure whether I’m part Manx or not, but no matter what’s “going on” in my genes, you’ll find that I’m one very sweet, loving, and affectionate gentleman (after I get over my initial shyness). Despite my “advanced” age, mom said I still love playing with toys and string thingies, and adored spending my evenings on her lap watching TV and sleeping with her. She moved to Germany and couldn’t take my friend, Dixie, and me with her, so we’re here hoping we can stay together in new digs (although I guess we’d fare pretty well on our own, too). I’m a 14-year-old (with free vet care) who’d like to brighten your life one day at a time!
