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!

Hi… my name is Isabella.

Adopted December 26, 2015

OK, I know that there are dogs who are perfectly content being “outdoor only” critters, but even after living with my family for 5½ years (all my life), I still wanted to be inside with them! My people (a senior couple) said that I’d recently started getting into mischief out there, so since they had four other outside dogs and couldn’t bring just me in, they felt I needed a place and home to call my own. They said I’m a gentle lady who is very submissive, so I’ll bet with just a bit of explanation on the finer points of indoor living, I’ll be a great companion. I’m a Boxer (my dad) and Australian Cattle Dog (my mom) mix, and I’d love the opportunity to show you just how endearing I can be!

Hi… my name is Paco.

Adopted August 15, 2015

When my people moved and couldn’t take me with them, I was pretty disappointed. But now things are looking up! I’ve made lots of new friends here at the Animal League; it’s fun spending time with people I like. I was shy at first, but now they say I’m more like a real-live teddy bear—loveable, can be good company, and very cute in my beautiful red blend coat. I’m a little over 1-year-old and didn’t have much human attention before coming here, so I do need some help in learning good doggie behavior. I’ve already learned how to walk on a leash. I’m a male, Chow/Shepherd mix, and hoping for a new friend who can help me reach by best doggie potential.

Hi… my name is Bucky.

Adopted October 19, 2015

My mom found me on Old Nogales Highway when I was only three weeks old. She already had quite a few rescues, but was going to keep me anyway, so when the expenses of keeping a whole lot of hungry mouths fed became too much for her, she decided that I’d be better off in my own place with an active family. I get along with other dogs okay but am not fond of cats, so if you’re looking for a fun-loving guy to spend time with, I’d be an excellent choice if I do say so myself! I’m a handsome, brindle-colored Catahoula Leopard Dog mix who’ll thank you every day for giving me a new start in life.

Adopted September 27, 2015

BEAUTY is a sweet and friendly brindle and white female Boxer mix that needs a good home. Fosters rescued her recently when renters moved away and Beauty was left behind. They already have a dog so they would like her to be with a family that has more space and time for her. Beauty is a social girl and is good with kids; cats are unknown. She knows sit, down, and shake. She likes to play with toys and going to the dog park to be with other dogs her size. She is estimated to be about 2 1/2-years-old. She is spayed and is in good health. She always uses the doggy door and is leash trained but would probably benefit from use of gentle leader.

There is no adoption fee for Beauty. If you would welcome her into a loving home, please call Marilyn from 8 AM to 8 PM at 520-247-4315.
