Hi… my name is Mr. B.
Adopted September 30, 2014.
When I arrived at TALGV six years ago, one of the volunteers snapped me up practically before anyone could say “Wow — what a gorgeous kitten!” because she recognized me as a Bengal (if not purebred, then 99.9% pure!), and she knew what a wonderful (and rare) breed we are. There are just tons of good stuff about me on the intake papers, such as “likes to chase anything that moves, is used to quiet, loving attention, and adores being brushed .” I love high places (that’s what cat condos are for!) and like fish flavored food. So if “quiet/laid back, playful/kittenlike, and independent” appeal to you in a cat, I’m your one-stop shopping source!

Adopted September 28, 2014.
My pictures make me look a lot bigger than I am (especially since they think I’ve got a bit of Mastiff or maybe St. Bernard in me!), but I only weigh about 45 pounds, so you get “the look” without the gigantic size! I was found running with another dog on River Road in Rio Rico so your guess is as good as mine as far as my life before TALGV. But the volunteers say that I’m a gentle, shy, loving guy who just wants to be someone’s constant companion. If you’re familiar with my “guessed-at” breeds, you’ll know that we’re “extremely gentle, friendly and very tolerant, patient, obedient, extremely loyal, eager and willing to please.” (Sounds sort of like the Boy Scout motto doesn’t it?) At any rate, please come meet me and see for yourself!

Read MoreHi… my name is Rico.
I was adopted on September 6, 2014.
Whew! I just made it here by the skin of my teeth! I was being chased by a pack of coyotes on Ruby Road in Rio Rico when a rancher drove by and rescued me. He checked out a nearby ranch, but no one was home, so I’m awfully glad TALGV could take me in. I’m a delightful hound/shepherd mix boy and in typical puppy fashion, I love people, romping with other dogs, and just generally being an easy-going, energetic guy. With the good genes from both my breeds, you know that I’m going to be the star of the show in no time!
Read MoreHi… my name is Cuca.
I was adopted August 16, 2014.
It seems like everyone is moving these days! There must be a dozen denizens here that got left behind when their families moved on — and we’re all a bit dazed by the abrupt change in our lives. I lived with my people most of my life, and they said that I’m gentle and tolerant of kids and other animals, am well behaved on leash, have perfect house manners, am not afraid of thunderstorms, and love to play catch. So with those credentials, you’ll know a good thing when you meet me! I’m an unusual liver-colored, heeler mix girl with a delightful “Zorro-like” mask, and although you might not know it yet, once we get together you’ll find that I’m going to be an essential addition to your life!

Hi… my name is Ginger.
Adopted October 6, 2014.
You’ve got to give my rescuers credit — they found me lying in a ditch six months ago when I was all banged up, VERY thin, and afraid of everything. During the ensuing months, I’ve been patched (and fattened) up, gotten to know and enjoy their cat, dog, and kids, and now I love everyone! Just goes to show you what a little patience, love, and TLC will do! I know quite a few commands, love to play ball, fetch, and spend lots of time outside and to follow everyone around when they’re doing their chores. I’m a sweet, medium-sized, red heeler mix lady, and since my people just couldn’t keep me forever, I’m now hoping I can find another active family that will make my life complete.
Read MoreHi… my name is Sancho.
Adopted December 29, 2014.
My brother, Pancho, and I got “downsized” when our mom and dad “upsized” to a bigger rental home that didn’t allow pets. I guess I shouldn’t “go there” and tell you how we feel about that (you can guess, surely!), but the bottom line is now YOU have a chance to add a delightful Chihuahua boy (or two) to your life! I get along fine with my brother, but I’m not overly fond of other dogs, so it would be great if I could continue being the human-loving guy I’ve always been. I’m housetrained, like to go for walks, am not a picky eater (most dogs aren’t actually!), and I’d love to show you what joy having a little tyke sitting in your lap really is!
