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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
