Hi… my name is Baby,

Adopted 4-2-17

Please don’t let those white hairs around my muzzle fool you. I was somebody’s baby 6 short years ago and now, since it’s a term of endearment for the sweet dog I’ve become, we can say I’ll be somebody’s baby again. But first, I must tell you the sad reason I came here. I’d lived with my person for six years, and then came the day when she passed away. Her family brought me here, confident that someone new would love me, too—especially since I’m so friendly, gentle with children, and well behaved off leash. I’m a happy, brindle and white female, a little over 50 pounds, who just wants to love and be loved. If you welcome me into your home, you can be sure I’ll welcome you into my heart forever!

Hi… my name is Cecil,

Adopted September 2, 2016

Ordinary things mean a lot. Like regular meals. I get nutritious food every day at TALGV, but before coming here, I was a stray for months, always hungry. Maybe that’s why I was found at Circle K, waiting for someone to drop something edible. Exercise is great, too—getting to share time with a volunteer on a walk. The best part is when they talk to me; I love being somebody’s friend. And, of course, shelter is important. I know what it is to be outside when it rains, or gets dark and scary. I’m a young Boxer male, who appreciates that it’s all good here, but one thing is missing. I want to belong to someone, to have a home and be loved. That’s my dream, and maybe you’ll make it come true!

Hi… my name is Lola,

Adopted 2-19-17

My brother, Chiquito, is a little bigger and braver than I am, but he assures me it’s okay to be shy—especially when you’re as sweet as I am. Granted, he’s my brother and loves me, but the volunteers tell me the same thing. Chiquito and I were adopted together; we happily moved to the country with our people, but we kept getting out. So we’re back at TALGV, knowing that we need close supervision when out in the yard and/or a dog-proof fence. I’m described as a “very obedient, good dog,” who loves chew toys, and knows basic commands like “sit, stay, bye-bye, and potty,” (though not all at once!). Every day, I dream of a wonderful life of love and comfort that’s given and received. Could you make my dream come true?

Hi… my name is Chiquito,

Adopted 2-19-17

I arrived at TALGV with some things I really didn’t want: cactus spines in my nose and mouth! After my sister, Lola, and I were adopted, our new people moved to the country and that’s apparently where I found the cactus. They loved us, but said we kept getting out and so in our next home we’re going to need either close supervision or a dog-proof fence! Sis and I are Staffie/Chihuahua mixes (that’s what they say!), and we’re good for each other; she’s a little shy and I’m strong in the moral support area. I also love to play with squeaky toys, and know basic commands like “sit, stay, and potty,” (though not all at once!). Won’t you please come visit and let me show you how great we could be together!

Epi

Hi… my name is Epi (aka Epione),

Adopted July 30, 2016

I can’t fault my people for giving me up because they didn’t have time for me. It’s not fun being lonely, without enough love and attention, so I appreciate their concern. Also, they shared lots of the good things they know about me, saying I’m very sweet, love to cuddle, and know commands like “sit,” “lay down,” and “outside.” The volunteers here like me, too, noting that I’m nicely calm for a 9-month-old puppy, and how they enjoy my affectionate nature. Guess you could say I’m a puppy who loves to be loved! I’m 9 months old, 36 pounds, an Aussie/Mastiff mix female with a distinctive brindle coat. I love rope toys, playing with balls, and, most of all, people. And I’ll be the happiest dog around when you make me yours!

Hi… my name is Lexi,

Adopted April 10, 2016

I loved the quiet, peaceful life I shared with my owner. Thanks to her kindness, I put a history of abuse behind me. But on a very sad day, I lost her. After my owner’s death, I lived with her daughter’s family, including 6 children, 4 dogs, 2 goats, a pig, a mule, and 5 caged rabbits. Honestly, I was overwhelmed. We’ve all agreed I should find a more calm and stable home, one where a mild-mannered, gentle soul like me fits in naturally. I’m a 5-year-old female, a beautiful brindle Boxer/Greyhound mix, about 57 pounds, who walks nicely on leash and knows “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and how to give kisses. My favorite things include playing in water and cuddling. Please say today we’ll start sharing the good life—contented, loving, and together forever.

Hi… my name is Tiger,

Adopted 11-21-17

Tiger has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate!

When my previous owner and I parted due to her health concerns, we’d been good friends for 6 years. I think that’s just my nature because being a loyal, devoted companion is what I do best. Oh, you could say I’m “handsome” thanks to my distinctive brindle coat and healthy physique (57 pounds). Also, “single-and-loving-it;” I really prefer to be your only canine. And definitely “well-trained”—I walk beautifully on a leash, and have earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate for my outstanding performance on behavior tests! But the best word for me is friend. I’m up for exercise and play, and for quiet times, too. I’ll be thrilled when you’re happy and understand when you’re sad because that’s what true-blue friends do, and that’s what you’ll get when you make me yours.

Ivy

Hi… my name is Ivy,

Adopted May 1, 2016

On a cold winter’s day, I was alone, shivering, and about to give birth! Thankfully, some very kind people took me in, and I promptly delivered 8 puppies. What a relief to have my babies in a safe place! I took care of my growing pups until they were ready to be on their own. Now I’m on my own again, too, safe in foster care, with time to wonder what it feels like to truly belong to someone, to be loved in that forever way. Human friends say my day will come because lots of people would enjoy sharing life with a sweet, happy companion like me. I’m a medium-size Lab mix female, brindle with touches of white, and a big hope in my heart that you’ll let me be yours today.

Hi… my name is Valentine,

Adopted March 13, 2016

I’m a young little dog, but when some really tiny ones were in trouble, I was a lifesaver! Three puppies were born to a mother dog too old and sick to care for them. Their survival was at stake because they wouldn’t take bottles in foster care either, and that’s when I arrived. No one knows where I came from; it seemed a kind of miracle. I’m a beautiful 1-year-old Staffie mix female, only about 26 pounds, who’d just given birth. Sadly, my babies weren’t found. But I was ready to be a mother, and willingly nurtured those three puppies who desperately needed me. Today, we’re thriving, the pups and me, and I’m ready for a happy, carefree future. I’ve shown what a good little dog I can be. Couldn’t I please be yours?

Arrived February 5, 2016

PS A few photos of puppies are included but they will not be available for adoption until end of February.

Hi… my name is Roxie (Sue),

Adopted by Foster Parents 6-15-19

I understand that losing my home wasn’t anyone’s fault—not mine or mom’s. She has a health issue and needed to move, and couldn’t take care of me anymore. So now I’m hoping that since I’m a friendly, grownup dog with a sweet disposition, some wonderful someone like you will give me a new forever home. I’ll give you my best: Will sit when you say to, walk beside you on the leash, and always remember my good house manners. And when we have our happy times—on walks, at play, and especially when you give me your love and attention—sometimes I’ll even smile (in my own way). I hope this sounds good to you because it sounds great to me. Won’t you please choose me to take home with you today?
