Hi… my name is Bella,

Adopted February 25, 2016

I thought I was home forever, but then life threw us a curve. My person’s health issues meant she couldn’t take care of me any more, and so I’m back at TALGV (she adopted me here two years ago). Good thing I’m adaptable, right? Granted, I am shy, but always eager to get over the shyness because I love lots of petting and cuddling. I also like to play (if you see the orange pig, that’s my favorite toy). I’m a sweet 4-1/2-year old Fox Terrier mix female, mainly white with cute brown touches on my ears, and will just say “little” because I’m on a diet right now. My house manners are excellent, I walk well on a leash, and if you give me the chance, I’ll be your happily devoted companion for life!

Hi… my name is Mello,

Adopted January 24, 2016

Everyone’s trying to decide which I am – a Snowshoe or a Ragdoll – but in either case, you can bet I live up to the captivating traits of both (which are pretty similar actually!). I love people, have lived with two dogs, and until recently when the older one started to dominate and intimidate me, got along fine with them. My mom said, “Mello is a warm, loving lady who enjoys being brushed and will sit in your lap and watch TV for hours.” (She also said that I’d love to sleep in bed with you if allowed – which I wasn’t – I think that honor “went to the dogs”!) At any rate, my name says it all, so if you give me a chance, I’ll fill your house with affection – one purr at a time!

Hi… my name is Andre.

Adopted December 28, 2015

A short while ago, when I was lost and on my own, I didn’t have time for fun. I had to focus on trying to find what a dog needs every day. Guess I had my nose to the ground because suddenly there was a kind gentleman telling me that I was headed in the direction of the mountains, which was not my wisest choice. Instead, he recommended TALGV, which was great advice. My friends here provide food, water and shelter, and I’m free to practice my doggie skills and have a whole lot of fun. Turns out I’m really good at playing, being a friend, and sometimes even smiling! I’m a young, eager-to-please, brown Lab mix male, who’s hoping to meet you real soon. I think we could be real happy together.

Hi… my name is Clark,

Adopted January 8, 2016

Who doesn’t love Maine Coons? Since we’re the largest domesticated cat breed and known for our sociability and intelligence we’re called “gentle giants” and with good reason. Although we’re said to be “relaxed” around other animals and kids, in my case dogs just don’t do it for me, but I’ve got the kids, other cats, and people thing down pat (I’m especially fond of laps, and can be a bit vocal when I want attention)! My family adopted me from a shelter and only had me for three months when their lives were turned upside down. So now I’m here and ready made for a home where I can share my love of life with everyone, and if you’ve never been owned by a Maine Coon, I’d like to show you what you’ve been missing!

Hi… my name is Hugo,

Adopted December 19, 2015

Lost and running, all on my own, I took a lucky turn and ran under a small underpass. It was there I was spotted by a real nice guy who was driving by. He saw I was in danger on the road like that, so he stopped, opened his door and called to me. I didn’t think twice! I jumped in his car and he brought me to TALGV, telling the volunteers that I’m “very sweet.” They agree. I’m sweet and playful; a strong guy who’s super interested in people and learning to please them. I know “sit” and you can teach me lots more. 18-months-old, I’m a brown and white Staffie mix male, and I’m ready to step into a great life with you. Won’t you please open up your heart to me?

Hi… my name is Hercules.

Adopted January 21, 2016

Just like people, some of us are smarter than others! The lady who adopted me discovered that I’m the embodiment of the “curious cat” and know how to open lever doors and counter cabinets to get what I want — usually food! That wasn’t so bad, but when I started picking on her other cats (and eating their food), that wasn’t quite so entertaining. But aside from the cat thing, I’ve got a herculean personality to go along with my impressive name and simply love people! I’ve got my sights set on a family that’s ready to add a loving, leggy feline to their lives. I’m an überplayful 3½-year-old, medium-haired tabby (with maybe some of that outgoing Maine Coon character), that promises be the cherry on your sundae!

Hi… my name is Tinsel,

Adopted March 1, 2016

There’s no nice way to say this: My brothers and sisters and I were dumped. We were left out in the cold and filth with only each other for comfort, lucky to get food from a kind stranger. I don’t want to think what might have happened if TALGV hadn’t come to our rescue. Thankfully, the vet who examined us said we are remarkably healthy. Also, the volunteers think I probably had some okay human interaction before being abandoned because I’m comfortable with humans. I’m a 4-1/2-year-old Chihuahua mix male, brown and sable, long and small at just 12 pounds. Imagine how grateful I’ll be for a comfy, carefree home with someone who’ll love and care for me forever. I’ll be the best little companion you could want! Won’t you take me home today?

Hi… my name is Petals,

Adopted December 2, 2015

My dog friend, Maxwell, and I had apparently been lost for some time because when we were found, we were extremely hungry and thirsty. We were so grateful when a kind person gave us food and water, and rescued us from the road. In our short time together, she could tell that I’m a very friendly dog, and I was great with her friend’s 5-year-old son. Being with them was a sweet taste of how great it will be when I’m part of my own family forever, and I promise to be a great addition to almost any household. I’m a gorgeous, 1-year-old Shepherd/Retriever mix female, white with some touches of brown, including velvet brown ears. Won’t you please make today my luckiest day ever and tell TALGV we want to get together soon!
