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?

Hi… my name is Crispix.

Adopted January 1, 2015.

When I first arrived as a teensy baby I was part of “the cereal litter” and went to live with a foster mom for a while until I was old enough to “mingle” here. All my siblings have found homes except my brother, Wheatie, and me so I’m getting a little antsy! Despite how much fun it is to have tons of playmates, like every feline, I really want a home and family of my own where I can participate in all the kitten activities that aren’t available to me here (like helping with chores, reading the paper, doing Internet searches — stuff like that!). I’m a darling, black and white boy who’s past that “go-go goofy” stage but still eager to spend lots of time entertaining you!

Hi… my name is Lucy.

Adopted January 17, 2015.

There wasn’t enough room for another big dog (well, 44 pounds isn’t THAT big!) at TALGV when I was found, so I stayed in a boarding kennel for a month until some space opened up. When the volunteers visited me, though, they said that I was happy, friendly girl whose “whole body wagged” when you met her. Now that I’ve got my own space here, I’m getting tons more attention, walks several times a day, learning lots of important commands, and getting some play time in too. The people at the kennel were nice, but it’s way better here — especially since now visitors will see what a sweetie I am and want to give me a new home! I’m a gorgeous, glossy ebony Staffie mix, and I know in my heart that the perfect family for me is just waiting around the corner. Why not make that you?

Hi… my name is Remy.

Adopted February 14, 2015

If you’ve had experience with big gals like me, have a good-size yard and maybe a few dog-loving children, do I ever have a deal for you! A family adopted me from a shelter a few months ago, and said I was terrific with their kids, was perfectly house- and crate-trained, and knew a few basic commands.  Unfortunately, the resident pets and I didn’t hit it off very well, so now I’ve got my sights set on a home where I can be “queen of the hop.” I’m a gorgeous, classically marked German shepherd lady, and if you can give me those things, we’ll all be better for it!
