Hi… my name is Oreo.

Adopted September 21, 2014.

If you’re looking for a young (but not TOO young!), high-energy guy, you’ve come to the right place! I was found near Sahuarita Lake right around July 4th, so they think I may have been frightened by fireworks and got out of my yard. I’ve been hoping someone would come claim me, but that prospect seems more remote each day. But that just means that YOU have a chance to make my life complete! I’m a happy-go-lucky guy, and at a great age (10 months) for learning new stuff (the volunteers are working on that), so when you meet me, I’ll bet you’ll resolve to make me your very own “cookie.”

Hi… my name is Elfie.

Adopted November 21, 2014.
A woman driving on Frontage Road near Elephant Head found me (and a canine buddy) running along the side of the road looking VERY frightened and forlorn (and hot, too, I can tell you!). So you can imagine that I’m just ecstatic to be here at TALGV where I don’t have to worry about cars or other desert critters “getting me!” AND in addition to that, shortly after I arrived, I gave birth to my (last) litter of puppies — so I was doubly happy to have a safe haven in which to raise them! I’m a lovely shepherd mix girl, about a year or two old, and after my babies are gone, I’m going to be looking for a home where my people will cherish me for the sweet-natured girl I am.

Hi… my name is Freddy.

Adopted November 16, 2014.

As part of the “Flintstone litter,” my five siblings and I lived with a foster mom for three weeks when we first arrived in early July because we needed a lot of extra care at our tender ages. She said that among all of the gang, I was sort of “middle of the road” in personality — just easygoing and happy with whatever was going on. Well, I’ve continued that tradition now that I’m here — I’m a laid back guy who is content to watch or join in the fun — whichever option catches my fancy. I’m a young tuxedo boy who is going to turn into one handsome fella when I’m grown. But between now and then, why not take me home so you can enjoy the transformation?

Hi… my name is Barney.

Adopted November 3, 2014.

As part of the “Flintstone litter,” my five siblings and I lived with a foster mom for three weeks when we first arrived in early July because we needed a lot of extra care at our tender ages. She said that among all of the gang, I was sort of reserved at first, but if she picked me up, I just melted in her arms and purred. Well, I’ve continued that tradition now that I’m here — I’m a laid back guy who is content to watch or join in the fun — whichever option catches my fancy. I’m a young tuxedo boy who is going to turn into one handsome fella when I’m grown. But between now and then, why not take me home so you can enjoy the transformation?

Hi… my name is Sapphire.

Adopted January 25, 2015.

My siblings and I were found under a house in Sahuarita when we were four weeks old. With no mom to care for us, we went to live with a wonderful foster mom who gave us tons of TLC. She said that my brother, Agate (who is still here with me), and I were the “runts” of the litter and very bonded so she really hoped we’d be able to find a home together. Because of all the handling we got as babies (the baths and blow dries weren’t great, but snuggling in warm towels afterward was terrific!), she said, “They may seem ‘ordinary’ black kittens to the casual eye, but they have exceptionally sweet temperaments and need a lot of cuddling and love.” Wouldn’t you like to be the one to give us that?

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?
