Hi… my name is China,

Adopted May 30, 2016

China has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When people say I’m a beautiful dog, I enjoy the attention. But even better is making that human-dog connection. It probably helps that I’m friendly, calm, and reliable. Like when we go for walks—count on me to “stop” or “heel,” and although I can trot, I’m content to just mosey if you like. Tell me “sit,” “stay,” “down,” or “shake,” and I know what to do. Toss a toy and I’ll race for it. When I was rescued, life was serious because I had three puppies. Now they have homes and I’m free to enjoy good times with you. (That could include belly rubs, right?) I’m a happy, white and brindle American Bulldog mix female, about 70 pounds, and I know we could have a beautiful future together. How about we meet today!

Hi… my name is Bonnie,

Adopted December 21, 2015

Even lost and injured, I was my own sweet self. That’s what the man said who rescued me from Circle K. They said I stayed close for a few days and would just curl up by the door and wait. Maybe it was because of the wound on my leg that needed stitches. Anyway—and thank goodness!—he brought me to TALGV. Here, my wound was tended and has healed, and I’ve made friends with some great dogs and people. I have those Heeler qualities of being smart, loyal and energetic, and the volunteers say sweetness is my strong suit. I sure hope that helps me find someone to love. I’m a 1-year-old female, 39 pounds, with a gorgeous brindle and white coat. Could you take me home and change my life forever?

Hi… my name is Anya,

Adopted December 5, 2015

I was alone in the desert until a kindhearted family found me. I really liked the little girl who lived there. They said I’m “great with kids,” and had fun playing with the family dogs, too, except the one that didn’t like me! In fairness, I didn’t like their cats. One other thing they noticed: I’m in need of love. Training, too, but we know training goes best with lots of love. I’m a 40-pound female Heeler/Hound mix, black, white and brindle in color, with bright eyes to show how much I’d love to see you. All rooms were full when I arrived, so I’m in a boarding kennel, but TALGV can arrange for us to meet. Just give them a call, and then just imagine how happy we’ll be to see each other.

Both adopted October 9, 2015

NINA and MINDY are energetic, loving, smart, and sweet 6-month-old purebred (no papers) female Boxers who need a new home because owner can no longer keep. They should be adopted together as they are very bonded. They are housebroken and crate trained and are working on leash training. At 36 pounds they are growing fast and need a family that can devote more time to their training (already know sit and stay). Mindy and Nina are healthy girls who are spayed and up to date on shots. They have had limited contact with children and cats are unknown. There is no adoption fee. If you will welcome Mindy and Nina into a loving home as part of your family, please call Jim between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-444-2782.

Hi… my name is Sonoma,

Adopted September 17, 2015

I’m a TALGV baby! My nine brothers and sisters and I were born here on 7/26. (Yes, our mom is our hero; we’re so grateful to her for having us here in this safe and comfy place.) When we were brand new, we mainly ate, slept, and bumped into each other. Then we started growing and learning how much fun it is to play. Now we’re individual puppies, each with our own looks and personality. If you visit us, please watch for me. I’m Sonoma, a female, mainly brindle in color with white markings. I’m ready to learn how to be the best dog I can be and to share a lifetime of love and loyalty. If that’s good for you, too, let’s get together real soon.

Born at TALGV July 26, 2015; available for adoption September 6, 2015 (at 6 weeks old)

Hi… my name is Rocket,

Adopted September 6, 2014

Howdy, mate! I am an Aussie mix—Australian Shepherd, that is—but I’m not from the land down under. Can’t say exactly where I’m from; my finders said I just showed up at their house one morning and never left. They were ever so nice, and although they couldn’t keep me, they said lots of good things about me. Loving, gentle, and loyal were words they used to describe me. I got along just fine with their animals and with the two children (ages 5 and 11). Just a “good dog,” they said. Well, I try to be a good friend so I can have good friends! I’m 1 year old, brindle and white, and 51 pounds. Please come for a visit and let show you what a great mate I can be.

Hi… my name is Roxie.

Adopted August 22, 2015

I wish I could tell you my whole story and confide in you what made me shy, but for now will just say that I was so hungry for company that I approached a stranger’s house. He couldn’t keep me, so now I’m at TALGV, where my new friends are helping me build my confidence. They compliment my graceful movements and my beautiful brindle coat. I’m a 55-pound Boxer/Lab mix, so I have an athletic kind of build, but I’m good at stepping gently. Of course, I’d love to feel free to play and know the joy of hanging out with someone whose friendship I can always count on, so if that sounds good to you, too, please come for a visit. We can make lots of happy future stories together!

Hi… my name is Chrissy.

Adopted February 14, 2016

Things changed in my once-happy home and my people can no longer give me the attention I need. We’re hoping someone else will have more time to share and we can be happy together. I’m already have some important dog lessons down pat; I know “sit,” “come,” “stop barking,” and “lay down.” Since they call me a Greyhound/Mastiff mix, you won’t be surprised to know that I like to run—sometimes very fast. I also like to play with squeaky toys. It’s been tough for me to leave the only home I remember, but I did get into mischief when left alone so much and so I need a good friend. I’m a beautiful brindle female, and if you have the time and patience, I can be your faithful companion.

Bud

Hi… my name is Bud.

Adopted July 31, 2015

If I had to choose one word to introduce myself, it would be playful! I just love to play and I’m real good at it. I spent a week with the person who found me running in The Villages of Green Valley and she described me as friendly, eager to learn and please. It helps that I already know “sit,” “come,” and “no.” With some of my human friends, I’ll hold up my paw to “shake,” and sometimes when you talk to me, my ears perk up to make me just a little handsomer. I get along well with some other dogs, but I am not used to cats. And did I mention that I like to play? I’m an exceptionally friendly, brindle Boxer mix boy.

Hi… my name is Dottie.

Adopted July 26, 2015

When I was found running on Sahuarita and Colossal Cave Road, I wasn’t there for the exercise! I was a puppy alone in a great big world. On 7/7, a lucky day for me, my kind rescuer stopped and picked me up.   I’m a 27-pound Pointer mix and only about 6 months old, so I’d say I’m the perfect age: Young enough to be adorable and old enough to be ready to learn. The humans here at TALGV think I’m lots of fun—a sweet young girl who is playful and has already peacefully shared a place with another young dog.   I’m hoping you like my distinctive brindle and white coat, and my eager-to-please personality. If you visit me and we like each other, maybe that will be my luckiest day ever!
