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!

Hi… my name is Daisy,

Adopted November 2, 2015

When you’re just a 3.2 pound dog like me, the world is a great big place! It was very scary, too, when I was lost. Fortunately, a kind person found me hiding in some bushes, which wouldn’t have kept me safe for long, so I’m grateful to be inside and protected. Of course, what I want most is to be loved, so I’m hoping someone wonderful is reading my story right now! I’m an 8-year-old female Chihuahua, brown and white, with a very dear little face that shows you how much I need a forever home. The person who found me said I got along with his Boxer and although I’m still a little shy with strangers, I’d really love to meet you. I think you could be my forever person!

Hi… my name is Snuffles,

Adopted September 25, 2015

I didn’t know what to do when I was left beside a road in the dark. I was starving, thirsty, scared and shivering. Then a car pulled over. Two sisters, despite needing to get to the airport, had stopped for me. In that moment, my life changed. The sister who lives locally gave me food, water, and lots of kindness. I started becoming the real me – happy, affectionate, and attentive. She said I never barked and slept through storms. Her cat really didn’t want a dog, so she brought me to TALGV, where I play and cuddle with new friends. I’m a small Dachshund female, who bears a mark from the past (perhaps a tight muzzle), but who’s ready for a bright future. Could you be the special someone who loves me forever?

Hi… my name is Chloe.

Adopted March 6, 2016

When I went to live with my mom, I had a history of being mistreated. But she loved and pampered me, and turned my world around. We had a great life! I loved running and playing around the house and yard, going to the dog park, and being happy every day. Men still scared me and I didn’t like strangers at our house, but we knew we could work on that. Then, suddenly, she was gone.   After her death, a friend brought me to this safe place, where people understand I need lots of reassurance right now. I’m a 2-1/2-year-old Staffie mix female, who has learned how to love and be loved. If my truly forever home can be with you, I will give you my whole grateful heart. Please visit me soon.

Hi… my name is Sugar Bear.

Adopted October 30, 2015

My foster mom and I talked about this message and here’s what we want to say: If you’re looking for a relaxed couch potato, I’m your man. I enjoy daily walks around the neighborhood to say hello to everyone, and I LOVE car rides, but no hiking or mile runs. When foster mom gets up at 4 a.m., I get up, go outside, and go back to bed. However, if you rustle pans in the kitchen, I’ll come running. I could be your sous chef! I’m not food aggressive, though. I’ve lived with dogs and cats, and I like them. I’m a 9-year-old Beagle, about 40 pounds. Foster mom says I’m “just a wonderful dude.” If I could be your happy guy, please ask TALGV to arrange a meet and greet for us.

Hi… my name is Kevin.

Adopted August 7, 2016

I came to TALGV after being noticed at a gas station on Sahuarita Road, in need of help because I was lost. On that lucky day for me, a kind man gave me a ride to TALGV, where now I’m safe and sound. I’m also happy because I get to spend time with people, which is one of my all-time favorite things. My stocky build makes me look athletic, and I do like going for walks, but my best activity is working hard at people pleasing. I’m a Bulldog/Staffie mix male, white with a big brown spot where my tail begins. If you like me, too, it could be my luckiest day yet. Let’s have a visit and see if we’re ready to share lots of happy days together.

Hi… my name is Sharang.

Adopted September 7, 2015

Third time’s the charm, right? I’ve had two good homes, but both times something changed and I lost out. My first person moved in with his son and couldn’t take me with him. My second person reunited with someone who had two dogs and we just could not get along. I sure hope my next home will be forever! I’m a 42-pound Belgian Tervuren female, with good house manners and lots of likes: squeaky toys, car rides, nap time, hanging out on the sofa. I’m loyal, can be protective of my owner and shy with strangers, but I’ve made lots of new friends at TALGV. They say I’m beautiful. If you and I become friends, I’ll show you my inner beauty, too, and how we can make a wonderful home together.

Hi… my name is Belle.

Adopted August 11, 2015

I’m a little dog with a big hope: May the third time be the charm for me. My first person had health issues and couldn’t keep me, and after a short time in another home, I came back to TALGV. I’m really hoping my next will be my forever home! At 9 pounds, I’m a black and brown Chihuahua, beautiful from my teeny toes to my not-as-teeny ears. I love to play and be friendly, but I’m bashful, too. If you can be patient while I’m feeling shy, we’ll soon have lots of fun together. I like to play with squeaky toys, a ball, and going for walks. I was born on Thanksgiving Day 2012, and if you’ll be my forever friend, I’ll be thankful for every day with you!
