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!

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.

Hi… my name is Pacho.

My dad died last year, and although my mom tried to keep my poodle friend and me with her, when she had to move to a smaller place, she just wasn’t able to take us along. Mom was awfully sad to let me go, and said, “He’s a lover who will lick you to death then show you where the silver is hidden,” so I guess that means that I pretty much never met a stranger I didn’t like! I’m a red Heeler mix boy and in addition to getting along with Andy, I lived with five cats, so I can, as they say, ”do it all!” Actually, I’ve never lived with kids, but I’m sure that if they were polite and gentle, I’d think they were fine, too. Now might be just the time to think of adding a new love to your life, so I’d be happy to be the one!

Note: Because of my age I qualify for TALGV’s Senior Vet-Care-for-Life program.

Hi… my name is Rusty.

Adopted December 3, 2014.

When I was a barely-weaned puppy, a wonderful family took me in after I was found discarded in a box. I would be with them still, but their neighbors had outdoor cats, and not being a great feline fan, I barked at them a lot, so the HOA asked to have me removed (I guess keeping the cats inside wasn’t an option!). I’m an Australian Cattle Dog and have been at TALGV about two years now looking for my dream home. The volunteers say that once I get to know you I’m a genuinely affectionate guy who loves to play fetch with my Kong (I’m ecstatic when you throw it and will even jump up to catch it before it hits the ground!) and other toys. Like all cattle dogs, I’m eager to please and to learn, so won’t you give me the chance to prove what a wonderful addition I can be to your life?
