red

Hi… my name is Red,

Adopted September 21, 2016

I love making that special human-dog connection! We just look at each other and it’s like we’re having a conversation. There’s one question I can’t answer, though, and that’s how did I get lost? Guess the important thing is that I was found and now I’m here, hoping to meet you! The volunteers named me Red due to my extraordinarily handsome red coat (they flatter me), and weighed me in at just under 60 pounds. I’m a young Lab mix male, and my rescuer said I was good with kids. I’m a playful guy who knows how to have fun, plus I’m practicing “sit,” and other such things because I’m eager to please my human companions. How about we meet today, and see if we can make a happy connection of the forever kind!

Honey

Hi… my name is Honey,

Adopted April 10, 2016

Our people had good things to say about my Rottie friend Nemo and me, but they had to keep us tied up and knew that wasn’t good for us. (They’re raising farm animals and had to keep us away from the chickens and turkeys.) We were both “found” dogs, so we’re grateful for the years they took care of us and appreciate their good reports, like when they said I’m loving to people, gentle and tolerant with children. I’m leash trained, so walks are excellent exercise, and I love kids. Honestly, I’m happy to have fun with any good person who’ll play with me! I’m a 9-year-old red Chow mix, a beautiful female who knows what wonderful friends people can be. Visit me today, and let’s see if we can be happy together forever!

Hannah

Hi… my name is Hannah,

Adopted February 25, 2016

A lovely young family took me in when I was lost, and even though they couldn’t keep me, in a short time we got to know each other pretty well. They said I was a “great family dog, especially with kids.” TALGV volunteers say that’s because I’m beautiful inside and out—a gentle, friendly and loving dog, who just happens to have a gorgeous Husky coat and face. Sometimes I’m shy at first, but I’m also alert and intelligent. When people are kind and friendly, I’ll soon warm up. And once we’re friends, I’m great for playtime, cuddling, or just hanging out. Could we meet soon? I’m a 4-year-old female, with a soft coat that’s light red and white, and a big hope in my heart that you will be my forever person.

Munny

Hi… my name is Munny.

Adopted March 17, 2015

I’ll let my foster mom tout my virtues because they’re pretty awesome! “Like the action figure toys that she’s named after, Munny (a 3-month-old heeler/SharPei mix) is perfectly named because she’s a blank slate that her new family can take down multiple paths. She’s super smart and has already mastered the sit and down commands, making her an excellent candidate for obedience school. Her athleticism makes me think she could also make a great agility dog when she gets a few months older, but she’s already got some pretty smooth moves around the furniture and in the yard! She’s crate-trained and sleeps through the night has a good start on housetraining. That’s all pretty impressive for a puppy that still has all her baby teeth! And did I mention she’s cute as a button?”

Buster Brown

Hi… my name is Buster Brown.

Adopted January 29, 2015.

The volunteers adore me, but acknowledge that I’m a timid boy, who needs time and patience to come around, but once I do, I’ll love you forever! I’m one handsome and smart boy who’s currently working on my AKC Canine Good Citizen award. I know lots of commands, walk nicely on leash, and love other polite dogs. The trainer at Central Pet uses me in her daycare and socialization program and says I need a “strong presence” in my life (but not “hardhandedness”!), so she’d love to see me with an understanding man or woman — or couple — another dog, and a yard with a nice tall fence. I come with free training for life — not really because I need it, but because my trainer simply adores me — and so will you!

Hi… my name is Daisy.

I was adopted on August 9,2014.

Red

Hi… my name is Red.

Adopted November 1, 2014.

If I were to put an ad in the “personals” section of the newspaper, it would be “Gentle, friendly, sweet and outgoing gentleman looking for active, loving companion to share long walks, car rides, and quiet moments contemplating nature.” Well, that’s my dream anyway. After my dad could no longer care for me, I spent most of my life in the yard where I got very little exercise (and undoubtedly too much food!), so I’m ever so hopeful that there’s an Aussie lover out there who would like to help me get back down to my ideal weight. I know it might take a while, but with diet modification, exercise, and your encouragement, I’m sure that I’ll be a poster boy for Weight Watchers in no time!

Red qualifies for TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program.

Mia

Mia was adopted 3/3/14

Hi… my name is Mia.

I lived with my family for two months after I was found in the yard of a home in Rancho Sahaurita. Everyone (dogs, cats, and three little kids) was ecstatic to have me around because I was a gentle and affectionate girl who loved to play. Unfortunately, they had to move to a place where pets weren’t allowed, so they had to give me up (but their loss will be your gain!). They said that I know “sit” really well (that’s a snap, especially when you have a treat in your hand!), and they were sure that I’d easily learn lots of other things because I’m smart and eager to please. I’m about 4 years old, weigh 18 pounds, and am a beautiful “foxy” mix of Pomeranian and maybe retriever. I’m vivacious and full of energy, so I’m looking for a family that will indulge me in playtime, but still give me the education I need.
