Hi… my name is Aven,

Adopted 4-23-17

Aven comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

My former owner and I had some great years together, but now, due to health issues, she’s moving to an apartment where I can’t go, so here I am: A 13-year-old, 8 pound Schipperke female, looking for love again. I hope it helps that I’m adorable with lots of positive qualities (which I’m glad to mention), plus this comforting thing: I come with FREE vet care for life! And as for those good qualities: I’ve lived with and gotten along with cats (not everyone can say that), I’m leash trained, good in the house when you’re gone, not afraid of thunderstorms, and my former owner couldn’t think of a person or animal I didn’t get along with! And as for you, well, make me yours and I’ll cherish you always as my forever friend.

Hi… my name is Baloo,

Adopted 3-11-17

Let me tell you the best parts of being rescued: Regular food, shelter, safety, and, for me, top of the list is the company. Before coming here, I was lost and lonely. But now I have dog and people friends. Just being me—sweet and friendly—has made me a popular guy! Recently, a volunteer took me on an overnight-for-fun and I showed her more of my good qualities, like I’m crate-trained, not a barker, and when we saw javelinas on our walk, I ignored them. Sometimes I make a “growly” sound when I try to talk, snore when I snooze, and maybe you’ve noticed my great big smile. I’m a happy 75-pound adult Staffie mix male, and when you look in my eyes, I hope you see your next best friend.

Hi… my name is Arlene,

Adopted 5-20-17

Well I’ve got to say a lot has happened to me in a month — lost, found under a porch, terrified by big dogs, arrived at TALGV, got poked and prodded a bit, and then spayed! Whew! That’s enough “action” to last a lifetime! But through it all, despite being understandably a smidge shy, I’ve loved getting ear and head rubs, and the attention (the nice kind!) from the volunteers has been great. Now I’m ready to find a place of my own (no more big dogs, please!), and let my personality shine. At about 18 months, I’m still looking for the kind of action I’m supposed to be involved in – playing and cuddling – so let’s get working on that!

Hi… my name is Pisces,

Adopted 2-3-17

My four sisters and I were “unwanted puppies.” Lucky for us, TALGV people say they don’t even know what that means—that we’re all wanted and loved! And here’s something else I’ve learned: Being a puppy is the definition of having fun! We’re already good at lots of puppy things, like running, jumping, rolling over, playing all day, and pulling your shoelaces. We also eat well and grow without even trying! I’m Pisces—a female with a mainly white coat, some gray speckles and gray ears, and allover sweet. I sure hope you love one of us. Okay, honestly, I hope it’s me, but won’t you come see us all? And if you have the time and patience for a puppy, maybe you can give me the best gift ever: My very own home!

Hi… my name is Homie,

Adopted 2-16-17

“Very sweet, talkative, and attention starved. Homie came from a hoarding situation and didn’t have food at times and rarely received any sort of kindness.” That’s what my foster mom said after she rescued me, but after having me for three weeks, she said that I was really coming out of my shell and craving human interaction. When you’ve lived with twenty-some cats, it’s hard to assert yourself, so I always kept a low profile. Well, that’s something I’d like to fix right quick, so if you have a bit of patience and lots of love in your heart, I promise that you’d make my year! I’m a 2½ year-old boy with a distinctive tipped ear whose sole aim in life is to make yours happy!

Hi… my name is Baxter,

Adopted 1-11-17

“Found in the Santo Tomas neighborhood. He is one of the local strays. Very friendly. HATES DOGS!” That’s pretty much it for what anyone knows about me. Well, except that, as stated, I really am very friendly ­– especially since I’ve been relying on the “kindness of strangers,” so having a home of my own has been a dream of mine for quite some time. They’re guessing my age at about 7 years (I guess teeth tell some sort of story in that regard), and with the distinctive dot near my nose (sort of a “half-moustache”), I’ve got charm as well. Now would be a good time to start your year off with a good deed, so why not make me yours? There’ll be happiness in store for us both!

Hi… my name is Booker,

Adopted 2-23-19

The day I came here was an exciting day for me—a subtle way of saying I was completely scared and with good reason! I was found on the interstate, traveling down the median as heavy traffic whizzed by me. Thankfully, a kind gentleman stopped for me. You bet I was glad to get in his car! And once here, relaxing with new friends, my true personality started to show. I’m a playful, fun-loving guy—70 pounds and sometimes I don’t know my own strength, but you can remind me. At 2 years of age, I’ve learned how important it is for my person to be happy; it’s in my sweet nature to want the best for you. So give me a chance today, and I’ll give you the very best of me forever.
