Hi… my name is Gaston,

Adopted 1-9-19

Comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

Bonjour! Je m’appelle Gaston, and I’d be so happy to meet you! Before coming here, I was a bit lonely. Circumstances had changed for my former people and they had to leave me alone most of the time. Since they know I’m a great dog—said I did well with kids, cats, and other dogs when with them—I was given this chance to find a home where I’ll have the pleasure of lots more company. It doesn’t have to be a crowd; one person or more would be fine. I just prefer spending life with someone. Even at 13 years old, I still have lots of energy and I come with FREE vet care for life! So let’s meet soon! I’m the brindle hound mix male who’s friendly, sweet, and watching for you.

Hi… my name is Aqui,

Adopted 12-27-16

My former person loved me a lot and the feeling was mutual, but our energy levels weren’t really in sync anymore. After careful thought, he decided it was best for me to find a new home, and so now I’m here, eager to make friends and have new adventures! I’m a lively, slender 4-year-old female Boxer, all grown up but still loving to romp and play every day! I’m very energetic, learning to get even better at walking on a leash, and delighted to share all such activities with people. My short-hair coat is an easy-care, beautiful brindle and white; my big brown eyes and adorable expression will charm you at first sight. I just know I’ll feel the same about you, too, so let’s get together and discover how happy we’ll be together!

Hi… my name is Bailey,

Adopted with Marley 1-8-17

Can you picture my sister Marley and me as puppies, running the streets? That’s where we were found about 1-1/2 years ago. Now our rescuer is moving and cannot take us along, so today we’re 3-year-olds, still happy together and looking for home. Although Marley says I’m a little braver, we’re both shy at first, but once we warm up—well, to quote our former person, “They’re very friendly, loving, and well behaved.” She also said we love kids, are good with cats, leash trained, and know “sit,” “stay,” and “no.” We’re females, each about 50 pounds; I’m the brindle and white one, playful and happy, and Marley especially loves to cuddle. We’re devoted sisters who want to stay together, and will bring love and happiness with us. How about we give it all to you?

Hi… my name is Paris,

Adopted 2-12-18

Paris comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

You could say I’m the best of both worlds: mature in years, but young at heart. My former person left me behind at a friend’s house and although we don’t know why that happened, the experience gave me the chance to show some of my good qualities. For instance, I loved the kids there (ages 9, 12, and 14) and tolerated the cats. The Dachshund and I didn’t see eye-to-eye though, so as last in, I was first out. But that’s okay. I’ve made lots of friends here and cherished every cuddle we’ve shared. I’m a female Lab/Staffie mix who walks well on a leash, is friendly, eager to please, and 11 years old, which means I come with FREE Vet Care for Life! Won’t you let me give my happy heart to you?

Hi… my name is Sissy,

Adopted 12-3-16

I was rescued from a homeless shelter, and I’m thankful for the happy turn my life has taken. My rescuer kept me at her place for a month, where I lived with 8 other animals—small dogs, cats, and a parrot—and she said I was friendly with them all. I was still learning (she said I’d flinch when objects came toward me), but proved to be leashed trained, smart, and teachable… kind of the perfect dog guest! Now I’m friends with the volunteers here, and they give me high marks for lovability, too. I’m 1-1/2 years old, about 56 pounds; a sweetheart in a brindle coat. If you look in my soft brown eyes and can see the love and loyalty I have to give, won’t you agree we’re made for each other!

Pi

Hi… my name is Pi,

Adopted 12-3-16

Pi has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Dogs love human companionship. Trust me, I know! So, when I was found wandering alone and my former owners said they didn’t have time for me anymore, well, we agreed it’s best I find a new home. They said I was gentle and tolerant with children, and the volunteers here will tell you about my other good behavior—on a leash, in the car. Indeed, I performed so well on some behavior tests that I’ve earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate! Does that make me special? Yeah, they say so, but you know what I say would be even better? Earning my place in your heart. I’m a 3-1/2-year-old Boxer/Heeler mix, a handsome brindle male, about 60 pounds, who’d like to be your one and only canine—your well-behaved, loving, faithful companion forever!

Hi… my name is Checho,

Adopted 9-5-17

Not long ago I lived in terror, chained in a yard and beaten with a stick so severely that I lost one of my legs. Some Good Samaritans documented the abuse and when it went viral on social media, I was removed from that place. Although they’re being prosecuted, my former owners threatened to take me back, so TALGV promised to find me a home with a compassionate soul instead. I’m a 2-year-old, 40-pound heeler/terrier mix, and despite what I’ve been through, my rescuers said I’m learning to trust humans again, and am an obedient, submissive, loyal, handsome boy with only love to give. If you can give me a safe and loving home, please call TALGV at 520-625-3170 so we can meet! I promise there’ll be a “star in your crown” for your kindness.

Hi… my name is Mozart,

Adopted September 2, 2016

My siblings and I already feel like little champs because we survived one mean experience. We were abandoned in a box—all five of us—and left next to a commercial dumpster. But before you even think about the bad things that might have happened, let’s move on to the important next chapter: We were rescued and brought to TALGV. Timid at first, we were unsure about the big wide world, and then they turned us loose in our run. Yahoo! We started running, wrestling, rolling around; most puppies know how to play, but I like to think we do it with style! I’m the male puppy with the handsome brindle coat, 19 pounds and growing, and ready for the gloriously happy experience of meeting you! Won’t you please come see me today?

Hi… my name is Daisy,

Adopted August 27, 2016

The place I came from didn’t have electricity or running water, so the first thing I noticed at TALGV was the comfort of air conditioning. Before long, I received something called a bath—the raining indoors thing was weird, but ended up making me feel really good. Since then, I’ve received lots of compliments on my soft brindle coat and I love the attention. Please know that even when I’m feeling shy, your affection is always welcome! Knowing that someone cares makes every day better; it helps with my training as I learn things that good dogs know, and just makes me happy.   I’m a sweet Boxer/Hound mix female, about 48 pounds and 4 years old, and if you could find it in your heart to take me home, I’ll love you back forever!

Hi… my name is Pasha,

Adopted 11-27-16

I was found in a dangerous position—walking down the middle of Sahuarita Road! (The pecan fields can be tempting if you’re hungry.) After rescuing me from that peril, my finder let me spend two weeks with him, but he couldn’t keep me forever, so I’m still looking for my special someone. I’m a 2-year-old Boxer mix, a nice medium size female with a beautiful brindle and white coat. My finder said I used their doggy door, would get down when told to, and got along well with other dogs. I’d say my best feature is my super sweet nature, but please don’t take my word for it! Tell my TALGV friends you’d like to meet me and let me show you up close and personal what a great dog I’ll be for you.
