Hi… my name is Fuzzy,

Adopted 7-23-19

I’m not sure where my name originated (maybe I was a fuzzy kitten?), as my coat’s silky smooth now! And there’s a lot of it, ‘cause I’m a “big-boned girl,” but I’m pretty much all love (as long as you’re not picking me up — I’m a bit too big to enjoy that)! I’m a sweet, declawed Russian Blue who’s laid back and independent, but I adore having my head rubbed (like lots of cats – I don’t know why humans aren’t into that!). I’ve lived (and gotten along with) a dog in my former home, and although initially shy with strangers, I warm up quickly and become your best friend. Maybe I can be yours?

Hi… my name is Vinnie,

Adopted 4-24-19

I’ve come to believe that sometimes even the broken road takes you where you need to go. I was adopted but then my person went back to school, then someone moved and someone else took me, but I didn’t get along with her dogs (I arrived with some minor wounds from that), and so I’m here. Yes, all this has made me a little shy and wary, but you probably know what I’m hoping for—that someone will see my potential. Someone will know that what I need is a little guidance, some kindness, and lots of love. I’m a strong guy (so you should be, too), who’s eager to learn how to trust again and how to please, and my greatest strength is my heart. Will you let me give it to you?

Hi… my name is Smudge,

Adopted 4-20-18

What is it with some humans? I know the majority of them are really great, caring creatures, but a few of them, well, I think they were WAY at the back of the line when compassion was handed out! The people who owned my two canine friends and me moved away at the beginning of winter last year and just left all of us to fend for ourselves. Luckily there were neighbors that fed us now and then, but life was pretty touch and go most of the time, so I’m SO glad I’m finally here now. I’m an affection-craving, 5-year-old Russian Blue mix boy who will be the most grateful companion ever when you give me my own, never-have-to-leave home. I’ll bet yours would be perfect!

Hi… my name is Grayson,

Adopted 12-28-17

You know cat carriers aren’t the most comfortable places to spend much time for ONE full-grown cat let alone three! But that’s what happened with my friends, Blackberry, Marmalade, and me! The cat volunteers found us that way one morning and I can’t BEGIN to tell you how happy we all were to be released! In addition to the cramped quarters, our lovely fur was matted to the skin, so a good grooming just added to the joy of freedom! It’s hard to believe we were abandoned, as all of us are totally delightful, outgoing, people-loving boys who will spend the rest of our lives making YOURS a joy! I’m a 3-year-old grey (surprise!) Russian Blue with so much love to give it’ll just take your breath away!

Hi… my name is Moose,

Adopted 2-17-19

Can a big guy like me be called a sweetie? YES! … if the name fits—and for me, it does! I’m a 2-year-old, 83-pound Staffie mix male; my coat is blue gray and white, and my heart is gold. You’ll know that when we meet, but in the meantime I’ll share my story. I was found running around a local neighborhood. My rescuer stopped, saw that I was hot and thirsty (drooling), so she opened the door to her truck and I jumped in. (Guess you could call me a trusting soul, too.) Here at TALGV, they love me for being an easygoing guy who walks well on a leash and welcomes friends. (Confidentially, they also say they love my cute face.) So if you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion, I’m your guy.

Hi… my name is Boscoe,

Adopted 3-17-18

“Boscoe is by far the most impressive canine guest I’ve ever had.” That’s one highlight from the feedback shared by my dear friend after I spent a wonderful weekend at home with his family. And there’s more: “Boscoe was very patient and gentle with my 5-year-old, took treats from her with great manners.” Outside Dunkin’ Donuts, I was “well behaved and great with everyone who approached and petted.” At the Pecan Festival, I “handled everything SUPERBLY!” I was accident-free in the house all weekend, eager to please, calm (can be a couch potato), and just love being with people. A 68-pound, 3-year-old Staffie mix male, “Dogs like Boscoe come around once or twice in a lifetime,” my friend said. “He’s going to make someone’s home warmer, brighter, and happier.” I sure hope that home is with you!

Hi… my name is Wylie,

Adopted 3-16-17

I was found near a grocery store—a stunningly handsome blue-gray Weimaraner male, 63 pounds (a little thin for my physique) and about 2-1/2 years old. And that’s all we know for sure about my past, but a couple of the volunteers have some intuition about me. For one thing, I’m often overjoyed with human company, so I may have been very lonely before being found. I can be a good walker on my end of the leash if the human on the other end is a good, strong walker, too—one who reminds me of things I’ve probably learned before. Maybe you’ll get good vibes from me, too. I hope so. And here’s something I know for sure: If you give me a good, loving home, I’ll be your loyal, devoted companion forever.

Hi… my name is Kristy,

Adopted 3-19-17

When I was lost, I wandered into the yard of a woman who has four sons and three dogs. No wonder I was drawn there! My finder said that in our brief time together, I was very sweet to her four boys (ages 5, 8, 10 and 12), and volunteers here talk about my sweetness, too. I guess that’s because I’m gentle and calm, but at just 2 years of age, I still like to play! Whatever brings me close to my person—that’s what I enjoy. I’m a beautiful blue-grey Staffie mix female, too thin when found but now feeling good at 34 pounds. So if you want to hike, play, or hang out at home and always have a dog who thinks the sun rises and sets with you—I’m the one.

Hi… my name is Storm Cat,

Adopted 1-17-17

After my mom rescued a whole passel of cats over the years, she decided that she had finally reached her limit – especially since she had too many males vying for dominance. She said that with her though, I was “extremely” loving and wanted a lot of attention, so you know if it’s just the two of us, life will be grand. Mom found me as an emaciated kitten in the parking lot of a mall, and over the years I’ve morphed into a big, handsome, now approximately 3-year-old, Russian Blue mix who is still playful and wants dearly to be your one and only. With my days as a foundling behind me, I can now promise our time together will be a joy for us both!
