Hi… my name is Reno.

I was adopted July 24, 2014.

I’ve been getting to spend time with a foster mom and she has SO many good things to say about me! She says, “Reno is an energetic, fun-loving pup. He spends a good deal of time with our two big, female dogs, and he plays well and respects them. He’s crate-trained and “almost” housebroken.” She says I’m a “busy” boy (well, I’m still a puppy!), so I have a lot of energy to burn off (another dog to play with and a lively family would help with that!), but when I’m done, I really “crash!” They’re saying that I’m probably a Doxie/Chihuahua mix, but I think there’s some Min Pin “going on” too as I’ve got a lot of typical terrier energy. So if you’re into an active lifestyle, I want to join you!

Hi… my name is Shammie.

Adopted October 25, 2014.

Because we were so young, my siblings and I went into foster care shortly after we arrived and our human mom cared for us until we were old enough to find our own homes. My brother and I were adopted by a family with two kids, but sadly a divorce broke the family up, and we were just “too much to handle” during that painful process. My mom said that as a typical youngster, I loved games, attention, chasing my toys (and my brother!), and that I was a “great, happy, loving kitten.” I’m very young, and a captivating tabby and white boy, who is once again looking for my perfect place in life. I’m hoping it’s with you and that you’re right around the corner!

Hi… my name is Agatha.

Adopted October 15, 2014.
Since I arrived at TALGV, I have discovered that sitting on volunteers’ laps is quite nice, especially since I love to be brushed and have my forehead and ears scratched.  I also think watching the “birds and the bees” (and whatever else moves!) doing their respective things from a window or porch is simply heaven on earth. (I had an Arizona room in my old home that was my favorite spot.) Mom and dad moved to a townhome in South Carolina that I guess didn’t allow pets, so I’m back at my old alma mater after four years hoping I can find a quiet person or couple who have space in their lives (and hearts!) for me. I’m a beautiful golden brown, golden-eyed, tabby lady and I’m hoping that my ultimate home is right around the corner.

Hi… my name is Maisy.

Adopted February 25, 2015

I come with super references from my young family, but they were about to add another little human to the mix and had another BIG dog, so I was a bit more than they could manage. My mom said that I’m a sweet girl who loved to sleep with the kids, was good with other dogs, know sit, get down (off the bed — but I’d stay if you’d let me!), loved to ride in the car, and am perfectly housebroken. I’m a Staffie mix lady who is loving and eager to please, so if you’re looking for a really “special something” in your life, I just know I’ll warm the cockles of your heart! Oh, and the volunteers say that for anyone who always wanted a stocky pot-bellied pig, I snuffle and snort just like one without all the fuss!

Hi… my name is Bruno.

I was adopted on August 9, 2014.

It’s hard to tell my story when all anyone knows is that I was found on Nogales Highway and had to be coaxed into a crate (I was mighty frightened, I can tell you!). But since the volunteers have been working with me and gotten to know me better, they agree that I’m a young, happy-go-lucky guy who seeks out other dogs for friends, and on walks I get along with other dogs bopping along beside me (sometimes dogs like to walk with just their person, you know!). They say I’m always smiling, would make a wonderful companion, and would probably be great with kids as well. I’m a young, medium to high energy, Staffie mix boy who wants to forget his past and get on with this business of life!

Hi… my name is Chloe.

I was adopted on April 12, 2014.

After my senior mom’s husband died, her kids kindheartedly gave me to her for company. I began life with her as a fairly small puppy, but, as these things go, I quickly developed into an 18-month-old, high-spirited teenager, got a lot bigger (well only 30 pounds!), and became “too much” for her. She taught me lots of commands though, and being an Australian cattle dog, it took no time at all to learn them, so for you people out there who think my breed is just the best there is (I certainly think so!), I promise that I’m going to be the dog of your dreams. I love people, am GREAT with kids, well behaved, and am a happy-go-lucky gal who wants to share all the joie de vivre I have with you!

Hi… my name is Hazel.

Adopted January 14, 2015.

When you learn that I was left to fend for myself when I was a puppy over three years ago, and that compassionate neighbors fed me ever since, I hope you’ll understand my current shyness (although they say I’m coming out of my shell more each day). My “caretakers” did say that during their interaction with me, I got along with kids and wasn’t at all aggressive — I’m just unsure of humans right now. I’ve learned to walk nicely on leash and enjoy the company of other dogs, so I’m sure that the time the volunteers are spending with me will be rewarded when I come out of my shell and turn into the wonderful companion I was meant to be. I’m a shepherd mix lady who just needs patience and love.

Hi… my name is Cypress.

I was adopted on April 24, 2014.

You may have read the story in the Green Valley News about how my family and I were found in the pecan groves. Well, my mom, Willow, her current litter of puppies, and I are all here safe and sound now, and of course with all the notoriety (and their cuteness!), the puppies are going like wildfire, but since I’m a bit older (about a year), I’m not getting quite as much attention from visitors. As the volunteers said, I pretty much didn’t know what happened to me, but they’ve made it their mission to teach me all the things that we canines are supposed to have “under our belts.” I’m a handsome Catahoula Leopard dog mix boy who now knows what it’s like to get “three squares” a day and lots of love, so everyone’s certain that it won’t take long for me to find out that a loving home with a real family is in my future.
