TWINKLE TOES is a beautiful, energetic, and sweet 3-month-old female boxer mix that was found in the desert with her mom and 4 siblings. She spends her time outside now because of finder’s unwelcoming dog, but she learns fast, is very social and loves people. Her shots have been started, and she will have a certificate for spay and can have remaining shots courtesy of TALGV. Twinkle Toes would love to share your company and the warmth of your home on these cold winter days and nights. There is no adoption fee for this sweet baby.

If you would welcome Twinkle Toes into a loving home as part of your family, please call Donna between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-484-3844.

Hi… my name is Snickers.

Adopted February 6, 2015

Well, it’s unanimous — everyone agrees that I’ve been eating too many candy bars! Or maybe not getting enough exercise, but in any case I guess I could stand to lose a few pounds! When asked what my “good qualities” were, my people said, “Loves to play and cuddle, snuggle on the couch, and watch college football.” Maybe that explains it — I’m the quintessential couch potato! Since my family moved to “no pets” apartment, I need to find another place where I can do much of the same thing, hopefully with a little more walking thrown in! I’m a delightful, gentle young MinPin girl, who gets along with everyone. I’m beautifully leash and house trained and have a super personality, so I consider myself the “complete package.” I hope you will, too!

Hi… my name is Kush.

Adopted March 15, 2015

When you can’t say “no” to rescue animals, sometimes you end up with one too many, and that’s what happened with my mom. She had three other dogs, and since she worked long hours we all spent a lot of time in the yard making our own entertainment (which sometimes involved a good bit of hail-fellow-well-met hullabaloo!). Mom said that I loved attention, being cuddled, am “quite the athlete,” and although at times a bit nervous with strangers, warm up quickly if you approach on my own terms. I know a few commands (“stay” and “be good”) and will be learning lots more here you can bet! I’m a small yellow Lab mix boy, about two years old, and I know that both our lives would be better lived together!

Hi… my name is Kiddo.

Adopted March 28, 2015

I think people sometimes forget how active young puppies can be! My mom adopted me when I was a cuddly 8-week-old and has been taking really great care of me since. I got along great with her Chihuahua (although I was considerably bigger and a lot more exuberant than he was), but mom said that I had no problem behavior, just “too much energy” for someone her age. I’ve learned quite a few commands (sit, down, stay, and walk) and am a loving, smart girl. I’m learning to catch a Frisbee (I’ll fetch anything actually!), and am a “wonderful, willing dog who will learn everything for a treat.” I’m a young German shepherd/Staffie mix girl looking for an active family that will give me all the exercise and love it can dish out!

Hi… my name is Teller.

Adopted January 29, 2015.

Wouldn’t it be great if they did DNA testing on all the “mystery” dogs that come in to TALGV? What a great genetic mix you’d find! In my case they’ve got bets going on Anatolian shepherd, Swiss Mountain dog, or maybe even a smidge of St. Bernard, but no matter, you’d be a winner with any of them! I was seen being dropped out of a car in Amado, so there’s no clue about my origin. Suffice it to say, I’m going to be a pretty big guy (I’m only about 3 1/2 months old as of mid-January, so have quite a bit of growing to do!), but lots of times big dogs are way more easygoing than the little active ones! Why not adopt me and see for yourself!

Hi… my name is Penn.

Adopted March 16, 2015

Wouldn’t it be great if they did DNA testing on all the “mystery” dogs that come in to TALGV? What an interesting genetic mix you’d find! In my case they’ve got bets going on Anatolian shepherd, Swiss Mountain dog, or maybe even a smidge of St. Bernard, but no matter, you’d be a winner with any of them! I’m “overnighting” these days with a volunteer and she says I’m doing great – learning good leash manners, ride well in the car, and use doggie door. I’m getting along fine in a home environment and adjusting to living with other dogs. Suffice it to say, I’m going to be a pretty big guy (I’m only a few months old now, so have quite a bit of growing to do!), but lots of times big dogs are way more easygoing than the little active ones! Why not adopt me and see for yourself!

Hi… my name is Amigo.

Adopted April 5, 2015.

I’m happy to report that after being found accompanying a group crossing the border in the Atascosas Mountains, I got to stay! Although the volunteers haven’t tried Spanish commands with me yet, they do say that I’m very responsive to people and curious about the world in general (well, I’m quite the traveler you know!). I walk nicely on leash now and don’t seem a bit interested in the “drama” going on around me in neighboring kennels (I’ve had enough of that in my life thank you!). My other qualities are my unique looks (shepherd with some Basenji-like traits) and wonderfully friendly demeanor. I’m super eager to learn, so it sure would be great to spend the rest of my life in “el Norte” with you!

Hi… my name is Christie.

Adopted February 1, 2015.

When my dad was deployed overseas, the rest of my family had to move back to Louisiana and couldn’t take me along. They had lots of good things to say about me (extremely energetic, loves kids and dog parks and being chased by other dogs, big sun-bather!). The volunteers here think I’m great too: “She’s a WONDERFUL 5-year-old shepherd/Lab mix girl who loves people and other animals (even cats!).  She’s a little shy (that’s to be expected as she lived with her family all her life), but once she warms up to you, she’s amazing, and there’s no reason this precious girl couldn’t go to a family with young children, other pets or just a ‘single and loving it’ person.  She just wants to be part of a family.” How about yours?
