Niko

Hi… my name is Niko.

Adopted September 30, 2015

I’m a cuddle dog! The people who cared for me after they found me at a school said that I love to cuddle. That’s the important stuff, really, but I should also tell you that I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua, black and tan, male, and weigh about 7.5 pounds. Okay, I’m not very big, but there’s a lot of love in me! I’m especially calm and loving while being held, and that’s because your kind touch means SO much to me. I’ve lived with a family, including kids 12 years old and older, and a German Shepherd. So if it’s just you and me, or a family, I’m a happy guy, especially if there’s lots of cuddle time! Please come for a visit so we can see how good we are together

Bronte

Hi… my name is Bronte,

Adopted December 15, 2015

There aren’t tons of people willing to care for feral cats (and take the time to trap, neuter, and release them), but the wonderful lady who rescued us has been doing just that for years. I think the word has gotten out to the feline moms in her neighborhood, as they’ve been bringing her their litters for a while now, knowing that she’d see that they were safe, and so it was with my siblings, Duncan, Argyll, and me. As much as she could, she also made sure that we were socialized, but given that we lived outside all our lives, we could still use some additional “climbing onto your lap” encouragement. Happily, we’re all healthy as the proverbial horse, so you can rest assured all you have to add is love!

Eli

Hi… my name is Eli,

Adopted December 2, 2015

Could I get lucky in the adoption department just one more time? My dog buddy, Skittles, and I had a wonderful home with our person for 1-1/2 years, but due to her health issues, we’re back at TALGV. I’m a black and tan, 2-year-old male; a Shepherd/Hound mix—which, in my case, means a guy with handsome shepherd looks and hound ears, who’s leash trained and what people call “a really nice dog.” I like playing with a ball, and I’m willing to learn new games, too, because I’m a friendly guy who just likes being with people. If you take me home, I’ll do my best every day to make you glad you did. How about we meet and see if the perfect place for me is with you!

Penny

Hi… my name is Penny,

Adopted 4-4-17

Penny comes with Free Vet Care for Life.

My person and I had a good life together for many years, but she had to move to a special place where animals can’t go. So now I’m looking for a new home, too. I just know there’s another someone for me to love. Granted, I’ll need some help at first. I’m a bit confused by this big change, and would greatly appreciate some patience in making the adjustment. Once made, though, I’ll be your faithful little companion. And I come with Free Vet Care for Life! I’m an 11-year-old female, black and white Chihuahua mix, a cutie pie from my teeny toes to my Batgirl ears! If I make you smile, maybe I could do that every day. Please visit me and let’s see if we could share a happily ever after.

Joie

Hi… my name is Joie (aka Zoiee),

Adopted November 6, 2015

My story from June 2015: Okay, I understand that a young puppy is probably more than some older people can handle or have time for, so I know it was nothing I did that brought me here! After my dad disappeared, his mom tried to care for his kids and me, but the combination was way more than she could handle. She said I was a typical youngster who was very playful and affectionate, loved to romp with the young kids (gently and politely though!), so I’ve got the basics down and all I need is someone with patience and time to guide me and give me the attention I deserve. I’m a darling black and white Staffie mix girl just waiting to demonstrate how happy, smart, and eager I am to learn.

Snuffles

Hi… my name is Snuffles,

Adopted September 25, 2015

I didn’t know what to do when I was left beside a road in the dark. I was starving, thirsty, scared and shivering. Then a car pulled over. Two sisters, despite needing to get to the airport, had stopped for me. In that moment, my life changed. The sister who lives locally gave me food, water, and lots of kindness. I started becoming the real me – happy, affectionate, and attentive. She said I never barked and slept through storms. Her cat really didn’t want a dog, so she brought me to TALGV, where I play and cuddle with new friends. I’m a small Dachshund female, who bears a mark from the past (perhaps a tight muzzle), but who’s ready for a bright future. Could you be the special someone who loves me forever?

Sage

Hi… my name is Sage,

Adopted December 27, 2015

So with names like Sage and Oregano (Parsley, Rosemary, and Marjoram were already adopted!) you just gotta know that my sibling and I will spice up your life no end (okay, technically we’re herbs, but you get the drift!). The kind lady who rescued our mom cared for all of us until we were ready for our own homes (I guess six of us might have put her in the “crazy cat lady” category!). Well, here we are, and we’re all a hoot if I do say so myself. With our bespattered black and white fur, random abstract markings, and winning kitten ways, you couldn’t go wrong with us. Do yourself (and me!) a favor and make 2015 the “year of the cat” in your life!

Parsley

Hi… my name is Parsley,

Adopted October 14, 2015

So with names like Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Oregano, and Marjoram (somehow Thyme got short shrift!), you just gotta know that my siblings and I are will spice up your life no end (Okay, technically we’re herbs, but you get the drift!). The kind lady who rescued our mom cared for all of us until we were ready for our own homes (I guess six of us might have put her in the “crazy cat lady” category!). Well, here we are, and we’re all a hoot if I do say so myself. With our bespattered black and white fur, random abstract markings, and winning kitten ways, you couldn’t go wrong with any of us. Do yourself (and me!) a favor and make 2015 the “year of the cat” in your life!

Blackie

Hi… my name is Blackie,

Adopted August 20, 2016

The person who brought me to TAL said that I “scare easily” and I’m “in need of love.” I agree, especially the love part. My story includes the sad word “abandoned;” I was left at a home where I couldn’t stay. That was a bumpy start in life, but things are getting better. I’m just a young female Staffie mix, shiny black with white markings. One of my favorite things is playing with other dogs, but what I’d really love is a person who’ll teach me what good young dogs need to know. If you can show me how I can be safe and happy in a home of my own, please stop by to meet me at TALGV. With your help, my story will change to that of a lucky dog!

Napa

Hi… my name is Napa,

Adopted September 20, 2015

I’m a TALGV baby! My nine brothers and sisters and I were born here on 7/26. (Yes, our mom is our hero; we’re so grateful to her for having us here in this safe and comfy place.) When we were brand new, we mainly ate, slept, and bumped into each other. Then we started growing and learning how much fun it is to play. Now we’re individual puppies, each with our own looks and personality. If you visit us, please watch for me. I’m Napa, a female, with a beautiful black coat with white markings. I’m ready to learn how to be the best dog I can be and to share a lifetime of love and loyalty. If that’s good for you, too, let’s get together real soon.

Born at TALGV July 26, 2015; available for adoption September 6, 2015 (at 6 weeks old)
