Elfie

Hi… my name is Elfie.

Adopted November 21, 2014.
A woman driving on Frontage Road near Elephant Head found me (and a canine buddy) running along the side of the road looking VERY frightened and forlorn (and hot, too, I can tell you!). So you can imagine that I’m just ecstatic to be here at TALGV where I don’t have to worry about cars or other desert critters “getting me!” AND in addition to that, shortly after I arrived, I gave birth to my (last) litter of puppies — so I was doubly happy to have a safe haven in which to raise them! I’m a lovely shepherd mix girl, about a year or two old, and after my babies are gone, I’m going to be looking for a home where my people will cherish me for the sweet-natured girl I am.

Arrived June 2, 2014.

Hope

Hi… my name is Hope.

I was adopted July 4, 2014.

Charity

Hi… my name is Charity.

I was adopted July 6, 2014.

Blackie

Hi… my name is Blackie.

I was adopted on August 21, 2014.
After my dad had a stroke a while back, he found that he just wasn’t able to care for me any longer. It was super hard for him to make the decision to bring me here as he rescued me in Mexico three years ago and we have been best buddies since (he said, “A very lucky person will get this dog because he likes any human who shows an interest in him!”). I’m a little on the skinny side right now (even though I eat well) as I have tick fever, but I’m now getting medicine for that and should be fine in no time. I’m a lanky Doberman/shepherd mix boy who is well mannered in the house and on a leash. I get along great with everyone, so why not you?

Lucky

Hi… my name is Lucky.

Lucky has earned her Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Adopted July 10, 2015

My dad found me under a car when I was a puppy and kept me for four years, but recently when one of his other dogs started picking on me, he decided that I needed to find a “friendlier” home. Although I lived outside most of my life, I was allowed in the house occasionally (where I got along great with the kids but NOT the cats!), so it would be wonderful if I could find a home with a family that wanted me to be a bigger part of their lives. I’m a 42-pound shepherd mix girl, and although I may be a little reserved at the moment (things have changed awfully fast in my life!), I know that with love and patience, the “real me” will come shining through.

Arrived June 20, 2014.

Sable

Hi… my name is Sable.

I was adopted September 14, 2014.

When you arrive with a fractured pelvis, you can be sure you’re going to get LOTS of attention and love. No one knows for certain, but they think that a car hit me (I’m still leery of them), so I was in pretty sad shape. I’m living with a foster mom while I’m recuperating, and she says that I am a sweet, calm girl who loves other dogs (I like to steal their toys and take them to my bed!), get along great with kids, am crate trained, and am “working on” the scary doggy door. I’m a lovely young 25-pound Aussie mix girl, and although I have a little “hop” because of my accident (they say I’m “part rabbit”!), I get along fine anyway, so why not let it be with you?

Gusty

Hi… my name is Gusty.

I was adopted July 21, 2014.

Mojo

Hi… my name is MoJo.

My first family had to move in with relatives who had cats, and neither the cats nor I were happy with the situation so they sadly relinquished me to TALGV. They said that I simply adored the kids (who liked to dress me up for special occasions!), and got on famously with other dogs. I went to live with a senor couple for a few months, but they just weren’t active enough for me, so my main goal in life is to get LOTS of attention and live with a dynamic family that has kids and another dog. I’m a “talkative,” high-energy Border terrier boy, love to chase bouncy toys and lights, and am very loving and loyal so please, please, please give me one more chance!

Sunny

Hi… my name is Sunny.

I was adopted July 15, 2014.

Several months ago I was the victim of a “hit and run” driver, but fortunately, someone DID stop and bring me here. After extensive surgery, I had to relearn how to stand, run (first!) and then walk. But that was then, and this is now, and as far as I’m concerned, I have “regular” legs just like anyone else! Okay, I might be a bit gimpy at times, but even if you think of that as a “flaw” (I don’t!), I more than make up for it in spunk and courage. I’m a Chihuahua boy whose main goal is life is to spend as much time as possible in your lap — in addition to maybe getting a few “therapeutic” massages now and then. If that sounds like a plan, I’m your man!

Sugar

Hi… my name is Sugar.

Adopted October 25, 2014.

Here’s my one wish in the world: when I “grow up” I want to be a lap dog! I’m only a pup but have led a pretty hard life, so I have a lot of catching up to do! I came to TALGV with a terribly infected eye (as you can see, it’s gone now, thank goodness) and two days later presented them with my (last!) brood of babies. I’m a whip-smart, medium-to-high energy, heeler/Lab mix girl (who prefers “the ladies” to the male of the species — something from my past, they think). I have nice leash manners and will bond very quickly with my new person, so if I can find someone who can spend lots of one-on-one of time with me, my life will be complete!

Lucie Lu

Hi… my name is Lucie Lu.

I was adopted July 20, 2014.
Thank goodness for Good Samaritans! I was just about to be taken to “the pound” by my owner (because he was unable to walk me any longer!), when a TALGV volunteer overheard the conversation and convinced him to relinquish me to him. That was MY lucky day, I can tell you! I’m a healthy, happy, smart, and affectionate yellow Lab mix lady (with endearing Shar Pei-like ears!), and everyone agrees that I’ll be a wonderfully loving companion who will adapt beautifully to an active family. I don’t bark (at least no one has heard me yet!), am good with kids, and other dogs, so what’s stopping you? I know that if you come down to meet me you’ll be able to see all my sterling attributes for yourself!

Thumper

Hi… my name is Thumper.

I was adopted July 27, 2014.

When your dad works for the Border Patrol, I guess you have to be prepared to move around a bit. Well, I was ready to go, but unfortunately, the place where dad was transferred didn’t allow pets, so he very sadly had to give me up. He said, “Thumper is a great dog, well behaved, smart, and loving, and I would have taken him with me in a heartbeat if I’d been able.” I know LOTS of commands — sit, stay, shake, speak, kennel (or “house”) — am perfectly house and leash trained (and have good “recall” even off leash), so you know I come with lots of super “bona fides.” I’m a young Rottie/shepherd mix boy who just wants another person (or an active family) to shower my affection on.
