Petey (CGC)

Hi… my name is Petey,

Adopted with Bentley 11-27-18

Petey has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

On seeing me today—happy, friendly and carefree—you might be shocked at how tough things were back when I was found. There was a heavy chain around my neck; fleas, ticks and sores all over my body. But even then, my rescuers said I was affectionate and eager to please; gentle, tolerant, and playful with their kids. That good nature carried me through the tough times and makes the good times even better! I’m a lively and fun-loving guy, just under 70 pounds, happy to see my friends, but no cats, please! Oh, you might like to know I’ve earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, awarded for my awesome performance in the behavior department! Yes, I’ll be a great companion for some wonderful someone, and I hope it’s you!

Wally

Hi… my name is Wally.

Adopted January 23, 2016

Wally has earned/received his American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.

I was found in the Walgreen’s parking lot (hence my name), and my finders and the TALGV folks agree that I’m a happy-go-lucky 40-pound older pup. I’m proud of my Canine Good Citizenship Certificate, proof that I know my basic commands, and I love all activities: walks, playing fetch, swimming in doggy pools. Car rides are cool with me, and I behave well at community events, like Farmer’s Market. (TALGV friends are also helping me learn advanced commands.) I’ll gladly offer my belly for rubbing, and I bond well with kids of all ages, toddlers to adults. Most other dogs and cats are okay by me, too. I’d be the perfect fit for a person or family with lots of activity, so if that sounds like fun for you, too, let’s get together today!

Sara

Hi… my name is Sara.

Adopted March 6, 2015

“She’s extremely friendly and ridiculously cute! She is very well behaved, seeks to be petted, and responds well to instruction.” That’s what my mom’s son said about me when he very sadly had to bring me to TALGV. Mom passed away a while ago, and the family couldn’t keep me, but since I’m such a sweetie, they just knew that it wouldn’t be hard for me to convince another family that I should be an integral part of their lives! I’m a happy, gentle, 7-year-old, Australian shepherd mix lady who has lived with another dog, know basic commands, and will undoubtedly be the light of your life. If you’ve ever owned (or been owned by!) an Aussie, you’ll know what you’re in for — total head-over-heels adoration!

Iris

Hi… my name is Iris.

Adopted February 28, 2015

Iris comes with TALGV’s Free Vet Care for Life

It’s pretty sad when my name, Isis (which means giver of life and magic), had to be changed because of a group of extremists, but the connotation is so bad, pretty much everyone agreed. I lived with my dad (and two other cats, Hokmah and Sehkmet, who I wasn’t all that fond of!) for most of my life, and he said that although I’m a shy lady, I did enjoy playing with laser lights and ball toys, and sleeping in a “fort” he made of sheets for us (what a great guy!). I’m a beautiful solid black lady, and as a senior I come with TALGV’S Free Vet Care for Life. I loved my dad dearly, so would be awfully happy if I could continue that tradition in another peaceful, caring home.

Checkers

Hi… my name is Checkers

Adopted February 18, 2015

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Kali

Hi… my name is Kali.

Adopted February 27, 2015

When my family brought me home to live with their teenage kids, three cats, and three other dogs, they found that the dogs tended to overwhelm me (although I enjoyed the kids and the cats), so decided I’d be best as an only canine. At heart, I’m a playful gal and love playing ball and with my Kong, and while initially I’ve been a bit anxious here, every day I’m getting more comfortable with the routine. The volunteers say that when you interact with me one-on-one, I just light up and focus on how best to please you. I’m a black Lab/Staffie mix, only about 11 months old, so there’s still a lot of puppy there just ripe for molding into what everyone wants in a housemate: pure perfection!

Dreidl

Hi… my name is Dreidl.

Adopted August 15, 2015

Dreidl comes with TALGV’s FREE Vet Care for Life.

If you’re looking for a “true” rescue story, then lend an ear to the tale I have to tell about my two friends Candy, Claus, and me because we’re shining examples of what a difference a little (well, a LOT!) of attention, care, and good food can make! We were rescued on Sahuarita Road when a Good Samaritan stopped, opened his car door and we all gratefully piled in. We each had serious cases of mange, were undernourished, frightened, and were in urgent need of care. Well, that was before Christmas, and after many weeks of that loving care, we’re all turning into gentle, laid back dogs who want nothing more in life than safe loving homes where we can strut our new stuff! Oh, and we come with TALGV’s Free Vet Care for Life, too!
