Hi… my name is Lilly Mae,

Adopted 2-19-17

People often comment on my beauty—my gentle eyes, sweet face, soft brown and white coat, and well-proportioned body (50 pounds)—and those compliments are kind, but we know that real beauty is more than fur-deep. I want you to know about my temperament—my sweet, loving nature—and how much I love to be with people. The woman who found and cared for me for two months (but couldn’t keep me), said I was housebroken and good with other dogs. She said I was friendly, and I think you’ll agree. I’m just 2 years old, a young adult female who minds beautifully on a leash, and still loves to have fun, too. Let’s take a walk and discover how good we’ll be together, side by side, down all the happy trails ahead.

Hi… my name is Rosemary,

Adopted with Thyme 2-10-17

I’m such a calm and sweet dog, you might be surprised at what I’ve been through. When found with Thyme—the Lab mix who remains faithfully by my side—I was injured, probably from an attack by a larger animal. My multiple wounds and fracture required medical treatment. So how do I stay sweet-natured and optimistic? Because my big, strong heart tells me my future holds fun and happiness with someone kind and wonderful like you. Thyme and I remain devoted to each other and want to share our home always, so please love us both! If you do, we’ll double the love for you in return! I’m a 4-year-old Boxer mix female, 44 pounds, and Thyme is a 1-year-old Lab mix male, 41 pounds, both eager to start the good life with you!

Hi… my name is Cyera,

Adopted 1-30-17

There once was a group of dogs who lived a hard knock life. I know because I was one of them. We had each other, but were never allowed in the house—no matter the weather. And even as puppies, we worked hard just to stay safe. Then, one magical day, our lives changed. Friendly, gentle people came to visit, brought us yummy treats, and helped us move. Today I live indoors, eat well, and sleep on a comfy bed. There’s a change in my heart, too, because now I dare to dream of my very own home—a place where people will want me to play, have fun, and share their happy life. I’m a very loving 15-month-old rust Heeler female, and you’ll become my hero forever the day you make me yours!

Hi… my name is Grace,

Adopted 1-28-17

There once was a group of dogs who lived a hard knock life. I know because I was one of them. We had each other, but were never allowed in the house—no matter the weather. Every day, we worked hard just to stay safe. Then, one magical day, our lives changed. Friendly, gentle people came to visit, brought us yummy treats, and helped us move. Today I live indoors, eat well, and sleep on a comfy bed, and I’m grateful for all that. But I also dare to dream of that most wonderful place—my very own home with someone to love, someone who invites me to share their happy life. I’m an exceptionally sweet 4-year-old red and white Heeler female, and you’ll become my hero forever the day you make me yours!

Hi… my name is Maggie,

Adopted 12-22-16

Yes, I’m a 33-pound Corgi/Lab mix female—an unusual breed combination, but I’m happy with it! Indeed, I’m happy with most aspects of life—even now, when I need a new home because my person is moving to a place where she can’t have dogs. After all, I’ve had the pleasure of living with other dogs and we play great together. And those critters called cats—yeah, I’m great with them, too. Plus, I have a history of being good with children—it’s important to be gentle with them; I saw that in the kids I lived with (19 months and 5 years old). My favorite thing? Well, I love cuddling on the couch. Come visit and we’ll talk more. I say you can’t have too many friends, and sometimes good friends become family!

Hi… my name is Hope,

Adopted 12-9-16

My name says a lot, doesn’t it? Indeed, my finders felt I’d reached my last hope when I showed up at their door in what they described as “very bad shape.” But they also recognized something else in me—a sweetness that was stronger than the tough times I’d obviously been through. So they brought me here, where the volunteers welcomed me with open arms. “A gentle spirit,” they call me, and they’ve seen how I respond wholeheartedly to their loving touches. I think those who need love the most can be the ones who are best at giving love, too, and giving love is another one my strengths. I’m a 3-year-old Boxer female, rust in color, and I expect we’ll see the best in each other every day once you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Victoria,

Adopted 1-10-17

I’ve changed since TALGV first shared my story! Oh, I’m still a beautiful, young, Red Heeler mix female who loves people. But now I’m even better! Here’s my updated story: I was left in a crate with a note saying my owner loved me but couldn’t keep me, and that I’m deaf. Well, the volunteers soon loved me, too, and praised my good qualities—smart, playful, super eager to please my person. But I barked too much at other dogs. A bad habit, right? Fortunately, inappropriate behavior can be corrected and I’m living proof! After excellent training with my enthusiastic cooperation, I can now see other dogs, even walk by them, without doing all that barking! It’s the new and improved me, all because I want to be the best dog possible for you!

Hi… my name is Mork,

Adopted August 6, 2015

My sister Mindy and I were lost puppies—barely more than babies—when some horses brought us good luck. (Probably life-saving good luck!) A man going out to feed the horses spotted us. We were very frightened, but he fed us and eventually was able to bring us here. I’m a Lab/Hound mix male—currently 29 pounds and growing—with a handsome rust-colored coat and very expressive brown eyes that might tell you what I feel even when I’m being shy. As we become acquainted with the volunteers, I’m relaxing more and more, playing puppy games with my sister and enjoying fun in the sun! If you have the patience for a puppy, I know we could have lots of fun, too. Could I get lucky again and find a forever home with you?

Hi… my name is Jude,

Adopted October 12, 2016

Before becoming a TALGV dog, I was a stray, taken care of at a truck yard. It wasn’t a home, but at least I had human contact there; although careful about human friends, I like people in general and back at the truck yard enjoyed greeting everyone who came to work. One special friend (who already has five dogs) appreciated my good dog manners, said I had “the sweetest disposition,” and brought dogs to visit me. How I loved playing with those dogs! Then I was brought here, so life has continued to get better for me. I’m a 2-year-old male with a beautiful tan, black and rust coat, about 55 pounds, who dares to dream that the best is yet to come—a home with a person to love. Could that be you?
