Hi… my name is Spectrum.

Adopted August 8, 2015

I looked like a “goner” when found sitting in the middle of of a busy road, unable to stand. Fortunately, when rescued, I was okay 30 minutes later. The doggie doctor said I was probably overheated and dehydrated. With proper attention, I am feeling great again. Somewhere along the line I was eating well because I’m kind of stocky at 14+ pounds on my Chihuahua-mix frame, but I’m still a little guy. I have a sleek black coat with tan markings, and at 3 years old, I’m happy to have fun and glad to take it easy, too. I know I was a lucky guy to be rescued from that rough life on the road, and now I’m all set to enjoy my second chance at life with you.

Hi… my name is Cali.

Adopted 12-20-16

Cali has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I cannot exaggerate how grateful I was to arrive at TALGV. I was left here in a small crate, malnourished, with fleas, and expecting puppies! Happily, my ten pups were born in this safe place, all’s well with them, and now I’m ready for my forever home. I’m a lovable white and black Staffie mix, about 56 pounds, who knows basic commands, how to play fetch and ball (they say I’m good at it), and I even run through an agility tube. Love and affection are my middle names, and I thoroughly enjoy getting out and about. TALGV friends have taken me to the farmers market, adoption fairs, and hiking in Madera Canyon. Of course, the best place on earth is a place called home and that’s what I dream of sharing with you.

Hi… my name is Sammie.

Adopted July 24, 2015

Other dogs have lost their homes due to the dreaded D word, and now me, too. My parents divorced and so I’m looking for my new home. I’ve got great qualifications – I like being with other friendly dogs and have lived with cats; I’m gentle with kids, have good house manners, not a big barking gal, leash trained, and have what humans call “an even temperament.” Sound good? Well, here’s what I really want to tell you: I like companionship and, if I do say so myself, I’m good at it. I like to hike, run, go for car rides, and, most of all, I love having a home. I’m a 45-pound black lab mix female, sometimes a little shy at first, but I just know we could be friends…and maybe family!

Adopted by rescuers October 15, 2015

SHEBA is a highly-trainable, affectionate, 3-year-old, 85-pound shepherd mix that was rescued by her owners as a stray about 6 months ago.  She does not fit into her owners’ established pack and they need to find a new home for her. She is spayed and shots are up to date  (medical records available). Owners believe Sheba should be an only-dog since she is protective of her food with other dogs, but she does get along with cats; kids are unknown. Sheba loves people and usually has excellent manners. There is a concern about her behavior in a new environment since she can be unhappy with change, so it is important that her new owner have the time and patience to help her adjust.  A 6’ wall or fence is recommended. She is easy-going, has a moderate energy level, and walks well on leash. If you would welcome Sheba into a loving home as part of your family, please call Jennifer between 8 AM and 8 PM at 1-505-710-5714. There is no adoption fee.

Hi… my name is Molly.

Adopted August 20, 2015

My siblings, Pax, Jax, Max, and I were born to a feral mom, but thanks to the wonderful lady whose yard we lived in, we’ve all been fed and socialized and are just as sweet as any kittens you’ve ever met. Our foster mom even made sure we got our vaccinations and were neutered, so now all we have to do is find “real” homes where we can get down to the business of being the entertaining and loving companions we’re meant to be. I’m a black and white girl, who’s affectionate, playful, smart, and I love attention, so I’m looking forward to finding out what a place of my very own is like. I’m ever so hopeful it will be yours!

I’m a black and white boy with a delightful Chaplinesque moustache who’s very affectionate, playful, and love to be held and petted, so I’m looking forward to finding out what a place of my very own is like. I’m ever so hopeful it will be yours!

Hi… my name is Ginseng.

Adopted July 18, 2015

You won’t find many stray cats that will follow a dog home, but that’s just how I got to my rescuer’s house! I guess that means either that I’ve lived with a dog in my other life or else I’m just a typically outgoing Siamese boy (or both!). At any rate, since I couldn’t stay with the family that found me because of allergies, here I am — sitting pretty and getting lots of food and attention (and spiffing up — I was a tad, uh, “ratty” when I arrived!). They think I’m only about three years old, so just think of all the years we’ll have ahead of us to share our stories of derring-do! If you “speak Siamese,” we’re gonna be happy as the proverbial clams!
