Hi… my name is Domino.
Adopted November 3, 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.

Hi… my name is Justice.
I was adopted September 5, 2014.
When my heartbroken family relinquished me they said, “Justice is a great dog, she’s house- and crate-trained, sits, shakes, and loves to be the center of attention. She’s a spoiled, indoor, family dog!” My “difficulty” was that I never quite adjusted to the toddler in the house (she did a lot of unwelcome tugging and chasing!), so they decided I’d do better in a home where the kids were a lot older. I’m a lovely medium size black Lab/shepherd mix lady who simply adores people and also gets along with other dogs (as long as they’re not bigger than me!). I’m still at an age where I love to play (and I never dig in the yard!), so why not complete both our lives and take me home?

Hi… my name is Oscar.
Adopted September 17, 2014.
Lucky for me, I had just stopped to rest in a pull-off area right off the freeway near Sahuarita Road, when a Sheriff’s deputy spied me. He opened his door, picked me up, said I was very friendly (“usually they run away”), and rescued me from what would probably have been a bad end! So I’m here now proving him right by demonstrating how delightfully friendly I really am! I’m a charming young solid black boy (named after my rescuer) and a shining example of how outgoing and people loving kittens are. I’m betting that two minutes with me will “win your heart and squash that sucker flat” (that’s from an old country western song!). C’mon I dare you to pass me up!

Hi… my name is Sassy.
Adopted March 13, 2015
Although my rescuers only had me for two days, they said I was good with their dogs and 2-year-old, so I’m betting I’m young enough that I’ll fit in anywhere (and live up to my name)! I’m a glossy, solid black teenager with just a smidge of white on my chest, and I’m positive that if you give me a home, you’ll wonder how you ever managed life without me! Come on now give me a chance to prove that black cats bring joy, love, and good fortune to anyone blessed by our presence! Maybe you can start a trend in your neighborhood by adopting a black cat — there are enough here for everyone!

Hi… my name is Jessie.
Adopted October 11, 2014.
I’m really happy there are people out there hiking around Elephant Head, because that’s how my brother, James, and I ended up here. We were sitting at the DeAnza trailhead when he left and when he came back, so I’m glad he didn’t think leaving us was an option! If you know Australian cattle dogs then you’ll know we’ve got smarts galore, and in addition to that we’re loyal and loving. I’m a little laid back (especially when my brother’s around!), but when it’s just you and me, I’m a real lover. I’m yearning for a family and an active life, so if you’re into that, let’s get together!

Hi… my name is James.
Adopted October 11, 2014.
I’m really happy there are people out there hiking around Elephant Head, because that’s how my sister, Jesse, and I ended up here. We were sitting at the DeAnza trailhead when he left and when he came back, so I’m glad he didn’t think leaving us was an option! If you know Australian cattle dogs, then you’ll know we’ve got smarts galore, and in addition to that we’re loyal and loving. It’s pretty obvious that I haven’t missed too many meals, so perhaps a bit of a diet (and WAY more exercise) should be on the agenda for me. Wouldn’t you like to provide that? I know I’ll love you for it!

Hi… my name is Rico.
I was adopted on September 6, 2014.
Whew! I just made it here by the skin of my teeth! I was being chased by a pack of coyotes on Ruby Road in Rio Rico when a rancher drove by and rescued me. He checked out a nearby ranch, but no one was home, so I’m awfully glad TALGV could take me in. I’m a delightful hound/shepherd mix boy and in typical puppy fashion, I love people, romping with other dogs, and just generally being an easy-going, energetic guy. With the good genes from both my breeds, you know that I’m going to be the star of the show in no time!

Hi… my name is Princess.
Adopted March 7, 2015.
It was actually a good thing that the Sahuarita police picked me up for “vagrancy” because I was running in the middle of the intersection of Rancho Sahuarita Boulevard and Pima Mine Road, and that’s a pretty dangerous place for a canine! Since I was already spayed, I guess I belonged to someone at one time, but now I need to find another family to shower my affection on. I’m a magnificent black and white American Bulldog/Staffie mix, and I totally adore people. All I ask out of life is attention, an active family, and a place to call my own forever. That’s not too much is it?
Arrived August 12, 2014.
