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 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.

Lila

Hi… my name is Lila.

I was adopted May 19, 2014.

My “probably” sister, Leala, and I glommed on to a house in Sahuarita Heights at the end of September, and after the owner fed us for a few weeks and no one showed up looking for us, he brought us here to TALGV. He might have kept us forever, but he already had two other dogs (along with horses, which we never bothered!), so he figured he had a full complement of “dependents.” I’m a lovely young 50 pound Australian heeler mix girl. The volunteers said that I walk “pretty well” on a leash, am friendly with people, seem okay with other dogs (I’ve really bonded with Leala, so it would be great if we could go to a home together!), and am a very sociable girl. I’m “double-dog sure” that with just a bit of education I’ll be a grand addition to your life!

Bambi

Hi… my name is Bambi.

Adopted November 22, 2014.

I’m a beautiful red-gold shepherd/basenji mix girl who wants nothing more in life than to be your one true love. My preference in companions is humans of the adult kind — I totally love them. I lived with kids and other dogs once, and I found that I’d really prefer life to be just me and my people — going for walks, rides in cars, romping in a nice yard, and just generally hanging out. I’m perfectly house trained, walk nicely on a leash, and know all the basic commands. So if you’ve had experience being the “leader of the pack” with devoted breeds like me, then I think we’d do just fine. Come on in and meet me and see if it’s meant to be.
