Hi… my name is Shamus,

Although friends say I’m a “love bug,” I may be shy when we meet. Oh, I want to get to know you, but in my young life I’ve learned to be a little cautious. I first arrived at The Animal League as a skinny puppy with a significant injury to one of my paws. I was soon adopted, but when I grew into the guy you see today—a nice size for a 1-year-old Boxer mix—I was too strong for my adopter. So now I’m back, continuing training on walking, manners, and how to let my sweet, friendly nature shine through. I’m having fun (I love my favorite toys) and holding fast to the best dream ever: The day someone wonderful gives me a forever home. Could you be my someone? (10/2024)

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

ANDI is an amazing, well-trained, and social three-year-old, 98-pound Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland mix female who needs a new home. She is in excellent health, spayed, up to date on shots, and medical records are available. Andi is housebroken and asks to go out. She walks very well on leash and has been in training for mobility service. She is excellent with other dogs and adores children; cats are unknown but she likes to chase rabbits. Andi is obedience trained to Canine Good Citizen level. She is not a barker, enjoys her crate, and is used to daily car rides. She is a loving, affectionate, tolerant young dog that needs an alpha companion with time to spend walking and playing with her. She does best with exercise about 30 minutes twice a day and would be great with another playful dog. Andi is a house dog but needs a 5-6’ outdoor fence. She loves attention, is easily brushed, and would be an awesome companion. There is no adoption fee for this special girl. If you will welcome Andi into a loving home as part of your family, please call Ann between 2 and 6 p.m. at 916-833-9793.

Hi… my name is Baby Girl,

Has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Could I be the dog of your dreams? I love to learn, and if I try to “get away” with something, I’m also easily corrected. That’s probably because I love people and want to please you. On a leash, bunnies, other dogs, or new people may excite me, but I wasn’t a barker in my foster home. In my crate, I was quiet and calm. And at home or out and about, I happily adore my people—eager to be part of fun activities. Ask me to join you on a run, hike or long walk, and I’m all yours! So what do you say? Shall we enjoy life to the fullest together?  (5-2018)

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Hi… my name is Sampson,

Adopted 10-6-24

I was found all alone near some storage buildings by kind people who brought me to TALGV. I was terrified but didn’t want anyone to see how scared I was. “What were they going to do to me? I’d better act tough,” I thought. The volunteers saw right through me and gave me time to adjust while they earned my trust (treats helped!). Now, I’m making new friends daily and will do my “kidney bean dance” to greet them. So far, my favorite hobbies are giving kisses, playing with toys, and going for walks. You’d think I’d be a super-strong dog on a leash. You’d be wrong. I enjoy leisurely walks where I can enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells. Maybe you’re looking for a tough-looking, soft-hearted lovebug like me. I hope so!

Hi… my name is Daisy,

Hi everyone! My new life began the moment I was rescued from the hot desert by Good Samaritans who brought me to TALGV. My past life as a neglected breeding machine retreated in their car’s rear-view mirror as we made our way to the next chapter of my journey. I spent several days relaxing out of the heat with a soft bed to sleep on and good food to eat. I was even treated to massages which I highly recommend – 5 stars!  My friends first thought I would be a couch-potato but have learned I want to experience other things I never got to enjoy – like walks with my two-legged friends, now that I’m feeling better. Okay, maybe I need to learn leash etiquette, but I’m getting there! Want to be part of my journey?

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

SAMPSON is an energetic and affectionate one-year-old, 70-pound, Belgian Malinois mix male who needs a new home with a strong leader. He walks well on leash and needs to walk about 30 minutes at least twice a day. He loves to play fetch outside in the yard and enjoys chewing on Nylabones and other chew toys. He is crate trained, house trained, and asks to go out. He is in good health, neutered, up to date on shots, and medical records are available.

Hi… my name is Ralphie,

Adopted 4-13-24

Thanks to the loving care of my foster parents, I’m finally healing and discovering how good life can be. Also, hats off to their Westie, Scampy. I’ve enjoyed hanging out and napping with you! I was found alongside the road with a painful injury. As a result, my leg couldn’t be saved, but I’m learning how to get along quite well. I’m content going in my crate when I choose, at night, and when left alone. I’ve needed some encouragement to go out to potty, but I’m improving daily. I’m a sweet, gentle, loving boy who enjoys getting praises, belly rubs, and any kind of attention. I need someone who can offer me security, patience, and ongoing love and care. Making “goofy” sounds is how I communicate, but for you I’ll translate: “Please take me home!”

Hi… my name is Captain,

Adopted 6-10-24

Ahoy! I’m Captain, your next adventure buddy and forever friend! I’m a hound mix who was found alone in Green Valley and brought to TALGV where I quickly became buddies with two- and four-legged friends. My zest for life is infectious; I’m a quick learner and am ready to master new tricks or commands to impress you. I also have a calm and loving side, relishing in cuddles and quiet moments with my human. I’m looking for a family that can provide me with the love, attention, and exercise I crave. If you’re ready for a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and unconditional love, I’m the first mate you’ve been searching for. Make me a part of your crew today, and together, we’ll sail through life’s journey with joy and companionship.

Hi… my name is Zeus (aka Dodge),

Adopted 11-19-23

One morning I woke up in my familiar, comfy home and then everything changed. Turned out, my family’s new place isn’t big enough for the children, the cats, and me. Was I upset? Yes. I’d lived with my family since I was a pup. I love living indoors and, most of all, being with people. My former family said I was “great” with the kids (ages 1 and 5) and the two cats. Here, I’ve been shy and lonely, but time and kind people are helping. When a good friend went with me to my medical exam, they said my “inner goofy boy” started coming out. Everyone was glad and it felt good to me, too. I’m housetrained, know several commands, and am ready for my new happy, forever home. Could it be with you?

Hi… my name is Brick,

Adopted 12-2-23

Charming, loveable, attractive.  These are some words you may not think of when you hear the word “Brick.”  Once you meet me in person, you’ll realize those words perfectly capture who I am to a “T” (or is it “B”)? My brother and I were wandering behind some local stores when very kind people found us and kept us safe for the night, until TALGV opened the next day. We were pretty scared at first, but we quickly made both human and doggie friends. While we’re likely related, we don’t have to be adopted together (though how AWESOME would that be!). I’m the more laid-back guy, happy to get belly rubs. I’m also friendly and playful with other dogs, but I’m a little too interested in chasing cats. I’ve met young children and was very well mannered. Let me be part of the foundation of your loving, happy home.
