Hi… my name is LaLa.
Adopted January 23, 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.

Hi… my name is Jewel.
Adopted March 2, 2015.
They say time heals all wounds, and boy is that ever true in my case! When I was found my leg had multiple fractures, so it was decided that rather than go through months of painful surgeries, amputation would give me freedom from pain with recovery and mobility within a few days (and all you have to do is check out my video to see that three legs work just as well as four!). My foster family says that I’m still in my late-puppy “crazy cute” stage and have found my voice (a bit of a howl) when I want your attention. I’m a delightful, happy-go-lucky 33-pound Boston terrier mix who would love to show you how thankful I am to be here, so why not call to arrange a “meet and greet” and find out!
More About Jewel from Her Foster Dad (2/20/15)
Jewel is very inquisitive and curious about the things going on in the home and with the family. Always “right there” with everyone. She likes to be where her family is usually following us from place to place, room to room. She likes to cuddle up next to us on the couch and usually kind of melts there and falls asleep. Her most distinctive trait (aside from having only 3 legs) is her large ears. They perk right up when something catches her attention. She gets along fine on 3 legs and has no trouble at all walking or running. She loves the back yard, always exploring. But one of her favorite activities is running. And she can run pretty fast. She likes chasing and being chased. She’ll chase balls and will usually bring them back to you – unless she’s trying to get you to chase her!
She walks pretty well on the leash but is still a bit uncomfortable with exposure to the big wide world. She’s on her guard and a little uncomfortable. But the more she gets out the more comfortable she gets. It’s just a matter of time and trust. Jewel is reactive when new people come into her environment, but in a very short time, when she realizes there’s nothing to be threatened about, she makes friends easily. Jewel is crate trained and house trained. She goes into her crate easily and sometimes puts herself in when she senses we’re getting ready to go out. It’s a safe place and a place of comfort for her. Jewel just learned to sit on command. Although somehow she thinks it means sitting on my foot. She has an easygoing personality and very much wants to please her humans. With lots of love and attention she will make the right home a wonderful addition.

Hi… my name is Styx.
Adopted February 1, 2015.
When you’ve lived with twelve other cats and three dogs, you’ve got to be considered a pretty flexible feline! All of my tribe came to TALGV after my mom went into a nursing home (even for those places that allow a pet to accompany its person, my menagerie was a bit over the top!), so although some of us are taking longer to adjust than others, I know that we’ll all prevail in the end. The volunteers say we’re all basically very sweet cats (some of us are understandably more outgoing than others) and just need new homes where we’re sure to settle in in no time. I’m a shorthaired solid black guy who’s yearning for the chance to show you just how adaptable and loving I can be.

Hi… my name is Brielle,
Adopted March 25, 2016
Since I’ve lived with twelve other cats and three dogs, you know I’m a pretty flexible feline! All of my tribe came to TALGV after my mom went into a nursing home. Because I’m on the shy side, I’m feeling a bit insecure at the moment and spend a good deal of time in a “cat cube” checking things out. My buddies are keeping me company though, and are always willing to climb in and snuggle with me. I’d love to feel safe again in a quiet home with someone who’ll have patience while I get used to my new surroundings. I might spend a few days under a bed, but my sweet, loving personality will eventually shine through! Perhaps you’ll also consider one of my snuggle buddies to keep me company? (Swoosh, Muggles, Dundee, Casper)

Hi… my name is Christie.
Adopted February 1, 2015.
When my dad was deployed overseas, the rest of my family had to move back to Louisiana and couldn’t take me along. They had lots of good things to say about me (extremely energetic, loves kids and dog parks and being chased by other dogs, big sun-bather!). The volunteers here think I’m great too: “She’s a WONDERFUL 5-year-old shepherd/Lab mix girl who loves people and other animals (even cats!). She’s a little shy (that’s to be expected as she lived with her family all her life), but once she warms up to you, she’s amazing, and there’s no reason this precious girl couldn’t go to a family with young children, other pets or just a ‘single and loving it’ person. She just wants to be part of a family.” How about yours?
