Hi… my name is Nell.
Adopted July 31, 2015
Life hasn’t been easy for me lately. I spent a lot of time just “hanging out” in a neighborhood off North Abrego Drive cadging food and water from the neighbors while managing to dodge all the resident dogs (boy, did I ever hate them!). Well I’m finally here, and I must admit it’s taking me a while to adjust to life again. I’m a gorgeous, medium-haired, calico Japanese Bobtail lady, and I do like petting now and again, but, like a lot of felines, when I’ve had enough, I’ll let you know. But I’m sure as the weeks go by, I’ll become more and more the lady I’m meant to be and realize that humans really do mean well and begin yearning for a quiet home of my own. Maybe yours?

Hi… my name is Teddy.
I was adopted August 2, 2014.
So you’re looking for a puppy, but maybe one that’s a bit more mature than those balls of fluff everyone falls for? Well, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a charming 5-month-old black Lab (and maybe heeler) mix boy, who was found way out on El Toro Road and have that typical “on the way to growing up” personality. I’m very comfortable with the other dogs I’ve been “matched” with here at TALGV, and the volunteers say that I’m a very tolerant, “low-drama” pup who just needs normal supervision. I’m absolutely sure that once I’m comfortable in my new home and understand that I’ll never have to face the great outdoors alone again, I’ll be one doggone grateful fellow who’ll show you the real meaning of “puppy love”!

Hi… my name is Sizzle.
Adopted December 31, 2014.
“Feisty” (in a good way!) and “little doll” is how they’re describing me, so you can guess that I’m a pretty outgoing, typically into-everything kitten! I think I got my name because I wandered into a Sahuarita garage during the hottest part of the day, with no ventilation, food, or water (but no desert critters either – that was good!), and I was mighty hot by the time I was found! Anyway, I’m here now in all my glory, so if your summer needs some perking up, you couldn’t do better than letting me do it (along with another kid my age if you’re REALLY into excitement!). I’m a medium-haired solid little black boy whose goal is to be the life of your party!

Hi… my name is Fred.
I was adopted July 16, 2014.
Okay, they say I’m rambunctious. Well, at only 6 months old I’m a big guy already, so between the exuberance of youth and a bit of heft, I must admit I am a handful. But oh what a happy, people-loving handful! My dad adopted me when I was an 8-week-old and he was working on my training, but sadly he developed an illness that severely limited his physical abilities. I stayed with his brother for a while, but he had small kids and although I enjoyed them, my enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming. I’m an imposing black Lab/Mastiff mix boy who knows a few commands, walks well on leash, and am “easily trainable,” so I’ve got a good start on the basics already. Won’t you help me round them out in my own home?

Hi… my name is Blackie.
I was adopted on August 21, 2014.
After my dad had a stroke a while back, he found that he just wasn’t able to care for me any longer. It was super hard for him to make the decision to bring me here as he rescued me in Mexico three years ago and we have been best buddies since (he said, “A very lucky person will get this dog because he likes any human who shows an interest in him!”). I’m a little on the skinny side right now (even though I eat well) as I have tick fever, but I’m now getting medicine for that and should be fine in no time. I’m a lanky Doberman/shepherd mix boy who is well mannered in the house and on a leash. I get along great with everyone, so why not you?

Hi… my name is Lucky.
Lucky has earned her Canine Good Citizen certificate.
Adopted July 10, 2015
My dad found me under a car when I was a puppy and kept me for four years, but recently when one of his other dogs started picking on me, he decided that I needed to find a “friendlier” home. Although I lived outside most of my life, I was allowed in the house occasionally (where I got along great with the kids but NOT the cats!), so it would be wonderful if I could find a home with a family that wanted me to be a bigger part of their lives. I’m a 42-pound shepherd mix girl, and although I may be a little reserved at the moment (things have changed awfully fast in my life!), I know that with love and patience, the “real me” will come shining through.

Hi… my name is Princess.
I was adopted July 25, 2014.
You know when you meet me and I immediately roll over on my back to get belly rubs that I’m going to be one sweet and loving companion! A lady from Green Valley saw me pushed from a car in near I-19 in Tucson, and happily for me, she stopped, scooped me up, and brought me here. Whew! Without her that could have been a REALLY bad outcome for me! As a waif, there’s not too much I can tell you about my former life, but suffice it to say I’m outgoing and ever so eager to find a safe, lively home. I’m a young and a charming, 31-pound black Lab “in a smaller package” who promises to be the Velcro dog of your dreams. Just give me a chance!

Hi… my name is Treasure.
Adopted January 12, 2015.
When I was found in the desert in June, I was too young to stay at TALGV since I needed round-the-clock care. Turns out that that was a good thing though as I got lots of attention, socialization, and love by humans, which now translates into a sweet, outgoing, and affectionate kitten (I’m aptly named if I do say so myself!). I’m a black shorthaired little sprite and since I’ve been living with a host of other kittens, I’m sure I’ll get along in any busy home (it would be nice to be able to go to one with one of my friends here — we’re “2 for 1” right now!). So why not take advantage of my sparkling personality (and a good deal!) and make me yours?

Hi… my name is Elliot.
Adopted October 18, 2014.
When my biographer asked one of the volunteers about my personality (since I was found on the streets of Nogales, my “history is a mystery” as they say!), she said, “Oh, Elliot’s a hoot”! Well I’ll try to live up to that by being the most endearing, entertaining, into-everything, lap sitting, purr-in-your-ear companion you’ve ever dreamed of! They think I’m in the neighborhood of 12-18 months old so all the good things you love about kittens are still “going on” — just without the crazy stuff the really young ones are into. I’m a handsome, lanky, solid black guy (except for one white spot on my chest) and I’m longing to spend the rest of my life in the safety of a home where I can do “my thing” with you.

Hi… my name is Thumper.
I was adopted July 27, 2014.
When your dad works for the Border Patrol, I guess you have to be prepared to move around a bit. Well, I was ready to go, but unfortunately, the place where dad was transferred didn’t allow pets, so he very sadly had to give me up. He said, “Thumper is a great dog, well behaved, smart, and loving, and I would have taken him with me in a heartbeat if I’d been able.” I know LOTS of commands — sit, stay, shake, speak, kennel (or “house”) — am perfectly house and leash trained (and have good “recall” even off leash), so you know I come with lots of super “bona fides.” I’m a young Rottie/shepherd mix boy who just wants another person (or an active family) to shower my affection on.
