Nova

Hi… my name is Nova.

Adopted November 9, 2014.

My family adopted me a year ago from TALGV after I’d come in because I was jumping the fence to go exploring (well, I was left in the yard all day so was just looking for some fun!). My new people had me for a year, but since they were fostering several really young children they were worried that my “lust for life” was a bit too overwhelming for them. I’m a hound/shepherd mix guy who is affectionate, outgoing, and want to both give and get lots of love. I’m perfectly house-trained, walk well on a leash, and love squeaky toys (and kids!). I need some work on curbing my enthusiasm around people, but then I’ll be a companion with whom you’ll want to spend all your time (both indoors and out!).

Lucinda

Hi… my name is Lucinda.

I was adopted September 14, 2014.

Celine

Hi… my name is Celine.

Adopted October 10, 2014.

The volunteers are pretty certain that I belonged to someone recently because 1) I am a TOTAL sweetheart, and 2) I was wearing a collar when I was found in Sahuarita Heights. I was being chased by dogs when the owner heard them barking, opened the door and in I scooted — right into his bedroom and into his bed! I’m a gorgeous black and white tuxedo girl, about a year or so old, and they say that I have the softest “rabbit-like” fur you’ve ever felt. Having gone through that experience, you can bet that I’m planning to make your home, your bed, and undoubtedly your lap, the only places I’m going to want to occupy in the future — you can keep your “great outdoors!”

Winkie

Hi… my name is Winkie.

Adopted November 9, 2014.

I’m sure you can guess how I got my name! A gentleman dropping off his trash found me “dumpster diving” and, smarty-pants that I am, I followed him home. I had a badly infected eye, so the vet removed it and gave me medicine to clear up some health problems (dumpster food isn’t the most nutritious in the world!). My foster mom says that I’m “getting the gist” of potty training, am “eating like a pig,” and having a blast playing with her other dogs and kids. I adore attention, being cuddled, sleeping with the kids, and am learning leash manners. I’m a sweet Lab mix girl about 3 months old and “all puppy,” so my dreams are filled with thoughts of having my own family, a yard, and maybe another canine playmate to share life’s joys.

Titan

Hi… my name is Titan.

Adopted September 28, 2014.

My pictures make me look a lot bigger than I am (especially since they think I’ve got a bit of Mastiff or maybe St. Bernard in me!), but I only weigh about 45 pounds, so you get “the look” without the gigantic size! I was found running with another dog on River Road in Rio Rico so your guess is as good as mine as far as my life before TALGV. But the volunteers say that I’m a gentle, shy, loving guy who just wants to be someone’s constant companion. If you’re familiar with my “guessed-at” breeds, you’ll know that we’re “extremely gentle, friendly and very tolerant, patient, obedient, extremely loyal, eager and willing to please.” (Sounds sort of like the Boy Scout motto doesn’t it?) At any rate, please come meet me and see for yourself!

Dodger

Hi… my name is Dodger.

I was adopted September 22, 2014, as a service dog.

Arrived September 5, 2014.

Tally

Hi… my name is Tally.

Adopted October 31, 2014.

When I arrived here as a kitten, I was so tiny I had to live with a foster mom until I was old enough to make my debut at TALGV. She said that I was one of the sweetest cats she’d ever known, and had it not been for the menagerie she’d already acquired (all rescues!), she’d have kept me in a minute. I went to live with a couple that didn’t treat me very well (and they had me declawed — which they’d promised NOT to do!), so I’m actually glad to be back at my alma mater! I’m still the sweetheart I’ve always been, so my catnaps are filled with visions of a loving home where I can start a new journey in life.

Arrived September 5, 2014

Pretty

Hi… my name is Pretty.

dopted October 5, 2014.

It’s amazing what miracles a little love and patience can work! I had been “living rough” in Arivaca for several months, relying on the kindness of strangers for food. After the volunteers rounded me up and brought me here I was pretty frightened for a while, but as the weeks have gone by, I’m finding that life (and the humans who go along with it) really can be grand and am coming out of my shell more each day seeking attention. I’m a small shepherd mix girl (they think I might have some Kelpie in me, too), and if you spend a bit of time sitting with me you’ll see that all I really want is a safe home and a loving family that I can shower with loyalty and gratitude.

Mac

Hi… my name is Mac.

Adopted September 27, 2014.

Arrived September 4, 2014.

Chrome

Hi… my name is Chrome.

I was adopted September 24, 2014.

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.

Arrived September 4, 2014.

Shadow

Hi… my name is Shadow.

Adopted April 8, 2015.

I lived with my dad all my life, but when a new resident arrived it turned out that she was HIGHLY allergic to me, so I had to move on in life. Ironically, I have allergies of my own, so I only eat Science Diet Z/D wet and dry food, but I really like it, so that’s no problem. I’m said to be quiet and friendly and “will love you for everything you do for her – your kindness will be returned with affection and good manners.” I’m a beautiful declawed (for those of you who care about that), lady and as a “senior” I come with Free Vet Care for Life, so I can’t see any reason not to take home! Come visit and you’ll be convinced.

Shadow comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

Sasha Jo

Hi… my name is Sasha Jo.

Adopted October 3, 2014.

My family rescued me from a shelter over five years ago, but now they’re moving into an apartment and can’t take me with them. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about me, like I’m an easy rider with a calm temperament, like toys, to sit in the sun, and am a very well-mannered girl who is good in the house, a great watch dog, and LOVE belly rubs. What more could you want in a gal? I’m a beautiful shepherd/Shar Pei mix (note the ears!), who got along fine with “my” 8-year-old grandchild and other animals. I know a few basic commands (but am eager to learn more if you have the inclination!), know what “no” means, and well, I’m practically perfect if I do say so myself! Come find out for yourself!

Arrived August 30, 2014.
