Hi… my name is Sweetie,

Adopted with Pie 3-9-20

Sweetie has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

True to my name, I’m a real sweetie—gentle and loving, and at other times playful and active. I share life with Pie—a much happier life now. In the past, we were abandoned at a rental house, but we’ve left that sadness behind. Today, we’re enjoying a stay at a foster home, where we’ve learned indoor/outdoor manners. We each go to the door, sit and wait to go in or out. And foster mom says we’re fully housetrained! We both know commands like “sit,” “stay” and “come,” and were well-behaved passengers in the car. We do alert to a knock on the door, and other than that, foster mom says, we’re perfect! All we need is love—that forever kind of love that comes with a home. Could we find it with you?

Pie

Hi… my name is Pie,

Adopted with Sweetie 3-9-20

Given the chance (a nice yard, a person to encourage me), I’m an active, enthusiastic dog. And if napping indoors were a sport, I’d have some gold medals by now. I arrived here with Sweetie, another lovely dog, after we were abandoned at a rental house. Today, we’re enjoying the good life at a foster home, where we’ve demonstrated very nice indoor/outdoors manners—we’re both fully housebroken, plus we sit by the door and wait to go in or out. We know important commands and are good passengers in the car. Foster mom says we’re wonderful companions—that we alert to a knock at the door, but are otherwise perfect! We’re both great snugglers and are yearning for that one perfect place—a forever home with someone to love. Could that be with you?

Hi… my name is Stella,

Adopted with Callie 3-7-17

I just want to know one thing: why is it that dogs often get to go with their owners when they move and we cats draw the short straw? I’d say that’s racial profiling, except my mom really did love me, so I guess maybe she didn’t have a choice. At any rate, my sister, Callie, and I are going to miss the family, but we’re both so enchanting, that I have high hopes we’ll find new digs soon. Mom said, “Stella likes catnip toys and laser pointers, is very sweet and loves to be petted, but she’ll often disappear to have her ‘alone time.’” If you ask me, that’s just typical cat behavior though, so come take a gander at me, spend a little time, and let’s see what we can work out!

Hi… my name is Smokey,

Adopted 3-11-17

One night, way past bedtime—about 1:30 a.m.—I was out with my dog friend, Ember. We were lost, running down the road without knowing where to go, so I was greatly relieved when we ended up here (courtesy of the police). I’m a Heeler mix female, almost 2 years old, a real sweetie at 36 pounds. My coat is a beautiful black with some white, very soft, and I hope you think I’m cute, but the best part of me is on the inside. I’m very loving—even giving kisses if you like—and playful; I say toys are good; treats are great! And what do I dream about? A home with you! Make me yours and my whole world will revolve around you. How about we start making each other happy today!

Hi… my name is Virgo,

Adopted 2-25-17

My four sisters and I were “unwanted puppies.” Lucky for us, TALGV people say they don’t even know what that means—that we’re all wanted and loved! And here’s something else I’ve learned: Being a puppy is the definition of having fun! We’re already good at lots of puppy things, like running, jumping, rolling over, napping, and pulling your shoelaces. We also eat well and grow without even trying! I’m Virgo—a female with a black and white coat, and a very alert facial expression. I sure hope you love one of us. Okay, honestly, I hope it’s me, but won’t you come see us all? And if you have the time and patience for a puppy, maybe you can give me the best gift ever: My very own home and people to love!

Ace

Hi… my name is Ace,

Adopted 3-5-17

I was rescued by a volunteer who saw me chasing an SUV on Duval Mine Road near the TALGV entrance. But these days, I don’t have to run after friends because kind people come to me. I go for walks with volunteers—they like the way I sit to get ready and walk well on the leash, and they compliment me on being a very handsome 4-year-old Lab mix male, mainly black with white touches, looking good now (although a bit thin at 55 pounds on arrival). Shy at first, I’m a fast learner and soon warm to kindness. So won’t you please come for a visit? You might just find that I’m the loyal, loving companion you want in your life, and I I’ll do my best to make you glad I’m yours.

Hi… my name is Camper,

Adopted with Burt 7-3-20

Since arriving at TALGV in 2017 as a terrified stray, I’ve evolved from a don’t-even-look-at-me kind of guy to one who enjoys soft words, petting, and brushing. I’m still shy (I’ll never be the “meeter and greeter” type), but I have a peaceable soul, get along with other cats (especially my friend, Burt, who are what, in the neighborhood, you’d call “bros”). I often help make new cats feel more comfortable in their new circumstances, and when others hiss at me, I just turn and walk away. I’m so hoping there’s a patient cat person out there who’ll help me (and maybe Burt too?) remember what it’s like to be loved in a real home.
