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!

Checho

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.

Mozart

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?

Daisy

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!

Pasha

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.

Baby

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!

Cecil

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!

Lola

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?

Chiquito

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!

Panzey

Hi… my name is Panzey,

Adopted April 7, 2016

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Lexi

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.
