Bella is a full bred white lab who needed a new home as owners no longer had time to share with her and her brother, Astro. Lucky for them they were adopted the day they became available by someone who happened to be looking for dogs just like them.

Hi… my name is Wally,
Adopted 6-16-18
When found near a local store, I wasn’t shopping but I had been looking for a friendly face in the crowd. Lucky me, I spotted two! They’re both Animal League volunteers and they knew right away that I’m a “people dog,” that is, a dog who thrives on the company of kind people. An 18-month-old blond Shepherd mix male, I’m lively, enjoy exercise, and interested in the world around me. But here’s my secret: I’ve been a little lonely. That’s why I try to be extra friendly to everyone, hoping they’ll notice me and see what a good dog I’m trying to be. If you’re looking for an attentive, active, eager-to-please dog, then I’m looking for you, too—ready to be your loving, playful, devoted companion for a long time to come.

Hi… my name is Teddy,
Adopted 5-18-18
There were twelve of us—6 young dogs and 6 newborn puppies—left in an abandoned house without food or water in triple-digit heat. Then a door opened. A woman had heard us. She was our first hero, and there would be many more. Indeed, we were in such dire straits that the rescue activity at TALGV by so many people—busy with fluids, cooling, nourishment, whatever we needed—is a bit of a blur. What I know for sure is that our lives were saved that day. Now we each have a future—a chance to thrive, play, give and receive love. I’m a small Poodle mix male, blonde, 9-1/2 pounds, and I’m sure you understand why I’m so ready for a carefree, fun, happy life in a comfy, loving home with you! (bio needs update)

Hi… my name is Big Buddy,
Adopted 11-3-18
Has earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate.
I’ve lived up to my name wholeheartedly—weighing about 80 pounds on arrival here and having been a good buddy, protective and devoted, to the single woman at home. But she’s moving and can’t take me along, so sadly gave me up. She says I’ve been a great and gentle companion; leash, crate and house trained, and I like to play. (Hide-and-seek with treats is a favorite.) I’ve not met many other dogs, but do protect my toys and food from other animals and children. Since puppyhood—I’m a 3-year-old Lab mix male—I’ve lived with one woman, and she says a gentle voice and patience work best with me. And we both say you can call me whatever name you choose, as long as you’re my buddy and let me be yours.

Hi… my name is Lionel,
Adopted 5-11-18
When my person moved into assisted living, I was so worried about leaving home that I was described as “scared to death.” Once here, despite gentle reassurances from understanding people, I trembled so hard the toys in my room were shaking, too. Today, if you look in my eyes, you’ll see I’m still worried about strangers, but I also can’t help but be interested in them. Is that one friendly? Does she have any of those tiny biscuits in her pocket? Right now, I’m more comfortable with men, but that doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. Very slowly, I’ve become acquainted with women here and turns out they can be nice, too. I’m a 4-year-old blonde Chihuahua mix male, and if you’re a patient, kind person, I’d love to feel safe again with you.

Hi… my name is Titan,
Adopted 7-30-18
To some people, I’m just another lost dog, but not to you. You’ve noticed me—even if it’s just for a few minutes—which makes me happy because you’re someone who knows that dogs love to be with people. As a lost dog, I can tell you that’s what we miss most. Oh yeah, food and water are top of the list—I should know because I was way too skinny when rescued—but if you belong to a good person, those things are guaranteed. And if you’re super lucky, your person loves you—plays, cuddles, and shares happy times with you. That’s the best part of life for a dog like me. I’m a gentle, blonde, 5-year-old Shiba Inu mix male, 57 pounds, who wants only to belong to someone. Could it be you?

Hi… my name is Paula,
Adopted 5-19-18
Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life
When I first arrived here, I barely moved. I’d been found on the street, my coat was unkempt, and I appear to have some hearing and perhaps vision loss. I was so scared. But if you’re feeling sorry for me, we need to change keys—mine isn’t a sad song anymore because I was rescued! And now, after a little adjustment time, I’m perking up. I’m happy when my walker arrives, enjoy those outdoor strolls, and inside, I sometimes make my own fun—like making “toys” out of my blankets before taking a nap on them. (That’s called entertaining yourself, right?) I’m a 20-pound, blonde and white Spaniel mix female—a 10-year-old who comes with Free Vet Care for Life! My golden years may be my sweetest ever—may I please spend them with you?

Hi… my name is Jonathan,
Adopted 2-24-18
My siblings and I have been through some serious experiences—found as little babies in the desert, then some of us requiring medical attention—and now we’re all set for those just-for-fun adventures from the puppy perspective. Not that we’ve forgotten that puppies are supposed to learn stuff, too—things that are very important to our people, so we all need someone with the patience and time to teach us. If you’re one of those people, I promise to remain adorable as I grow and learn. We all appear to be a Chihuahua/Terrier mix and I’m the single male in this litter, with a handsome coat of tan and white and big brown eyes, weighing in at around 12 pounds. I am really bonded with my sister Gala so how about we meet, fall in love, and all go home together forever!
