Gibbs

Hi… my name is Gibbs.

When I arrived at TALGV, my siblings were christened the “NCIS” litter, thus my name. Being the charmer I was, it wasn’t long before I was adopted and went to live with a young couple with two teenage kids. Although they didn’t have any other pets, I was around a lot of other animals, and my people said I got along great with them. I’m said to be gentle and tolerant, housebroken, and know basic commands (I’ve never had any “professional” training, so that might be a good thing for me). My people said that I’m very lovable and listen well, but need someone who will be home a bit more (their pet sitter moved away and there was no one to care for me when needed, so it got pretty expensive in a boarding kennel). I’m a young, black and tan Rottie/heeler mix boy, and I’m sure I’ll make this year one to remember!

Sasha

Hi… my name is Sasha.

I was adopted June 11, 2014.

I was found in October in the desert by my “mom’s” co-workers and since none of them could keep me, she took me home. She had every intention of keeping me forever, but she had to move to a new place that didn’t allow pets. She said I’m really a sweet girl who loved to play in the water with her kids (although as a puppy, sometimes I got a little rambunctious, but a firm “no” got me to stop right away). I’m “mostly” potty trained (I need a little extra outing at night), and I know that with a little education, I’ll have all my ABCs down pat. I’m a charming young tan and white Staffie and Boxer mix girl (my “learning skills” are getting swifter by the day!), and I’ve got high hopes I’ll get to spend the New Year admiring the view from my new home and yard!

Adam

Hi… my name is Adam.

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My write up is under construction. Please check back soon to see my story.

Dennis

Hi… my name is Dennis.

Adopted June 12, 2015

Standing in the middle of Continental Road wasn’t the brightest thing I’ve ever done, but actually maybe it was, as a wonderful couple stopped their truck and I jumped right into the back, so it worked out pretty well because I got to come to TALGV! I’m a tan, 55-pound, shepherd and Staffie mix boy, and they say I’m really a very sweet guy who loves people, gets along okay with other dogs (but not cats), so everyone thinks that I’d make a great companion for an active family that has time to devote to my education (and then to play!). My philosophy is that everyone needs a canine in their life, so I’m here to make that happen for you!

Toby

Hi… my name is Toby.

My family adopted me from a shelter when I was nine months old, and I lived with them for three months until it was apparent their resident female and I weren’t ever going to be the best of friends (but WAY on the plus side, I got along great with the two cats and kids they had!). So, that said, everyone is positive that I’ll make a wonderful companion for an active family where I can be “top dog.” I’m a handsome, young 53-pound, Staffie mix boy, and my dad says, “Toby is very cuddly, thinks he’s a lap dog, wants to please, and is a quick learner.” I’ve been to obedience school and know sit, come, let go, and wait — all really important commands for us canines to master, so I’m betting I’ll find a place of honor in your life in no time after you take me home!

Harley

Hi… my name is Harley.

I was adopted June 14, 2014.

You know siblings don’t always get along (I guess sometimes the human ones don’t either!), and that’s why I ended back at TALGV where I started out. My family adopted my brother and me together when we were puppies, figuring we’d be great pals. Sadly, as we aged, dominant personalities emerged in us both so life was not exactly serene for the family. I love people though, am a great watchdog, and have had obedience and crate training, so I really am a pretty well behaved guy when my brother isn’t around. I don’t do well with little kids (they are a bit too “grabby” sometimes), and I am definitely not a “water dog” (swimming pools and all that running around make me a bit jumpy), but with a calm (but active) family, I’ll be a model companion. Why not give me the chance to prove myself?

Bailey June

Hi… my name is Bailey June.

My family (which included two kids ages 10 and 12) said that I’m “very playful, loving, and cuddles a lot,” so that gives you an idea of how much I like critters of the human kind. My canine housemate, however, was a different story, and he and I didn’t get along well at all, so if there’s a home with an active family out there that’s missing the companionship of a devoted friend, then I know I can fill that void! I’m a tan and white Staffie mix girl, who, although I spent a good deal of time outdoors, would very much like to be a part of your everyday life indoors, too. Being still very much a youngster, you know that I’m chock full of energy and eager to learn new things, so I know I’ll have the basics of indoor living down in a flash. Why don’t you be the one to teach me?

Rafferty

Hi… my name is Rafferty.

I was adopted on June 30, 2014.

There are lots of interesting places between Esperanza Boulevard and Duval Mine Road, but I was too close to Interstate 19 to be able to check them out before a lovely lady picked me up and saved me from anything bad happening. Where I came from is a mystery, but in the short time she had me, she said that I had a sweet disposition and the volunteers here seem to agree. Although I can be a bit shy on first meeting you, I warm up to people really quickly. I’ve had a run all to myself for a while, so they’re still working on finding out my “social skills” with other dogs, but I’m doing pretty well walking on leash so I’m sure all my other qualities will become evident in no time. I’m an interesting young Boxer/terrier mix with black/tan/brindle coloring, so come meet me and see how terrific I am for yourself!

Roxie

Hi… my name is Roxie.

Adoptd December 10, 2014.

When I was rescued a few years ago, I lived mostly outside and hadn’t learned all the fine points of indoor living. Well, “baby, you should see me now”! I’m a shepherd mix girl who’s been living with a foster family that says, “Roxie is now the perfect indoor dog. She has NEVER had an accident in the house. She’s happiest when she’s with her person, loves attention, is good with any size/personality dog, (fairly quiet!) children, and seems uninterested in cats. She is a tad leery of men, but is receptive if a woman is present. She loves to give kisses (she’ll lick the makeup off your face!), and is in a Canine Good Citizen class. She’s a totally wonderful ‘made to order’ dog!” So with those credentials, plus I come with FREE Vet Care for Life, how can you go wrong?

Buddy Boy

Hi… my name is Buddy Boy.

I was adopted on March 23, 2014.

Sometimes you wonder why people bring pets into their lives and then leave them in a yard to amuse themselves. I’m sure my mom (who recently died) loved me, but she never spent much time in training me, so now I’m hoping that I’ll finally find someone who will recognize my potential and make that investment. My mom’s son said, “Buddy is a good dog; he just needs some training,” and I’m here to tell you that I’m 100% in agreement with that statement! I do know the basics — sit, stay, and down — and I love to play fetch and chase a Frisbee, so with some patient guidance, I know I can be the pal you’re looking for. I’m a medium size white and tan Staffie mix who will be with you through thick and thin after you’ve made the commitment to my education.

Honey

Hi… my name is Honey.

I was adopted May 25, 2014.

My dad went into a memory care facility and my long-time girlfriend, Harleigh, and I were left alone in our home for several weeks. We had a yard and a doggie door and a neighbor who came to feed us, but we were still awfully lonely so were really glad when TALGV came to our rescue. We’re living with a foster mom at the moment, and she really thinks it is important that we be adopted together because we’ve become so dependent on each other. I’m a plus-size collie/Chow mix lady who, despite my size, loves to cuddle and give kisses. I’m on a Jennie Craig diet at the moment, so when I get back down to a “misses” size, I’ll be able to snuggle with you even more! Harleigh and I are both housebroken, good with kids, and just generally a laid-back girls, so I know that we’d be a great addition to any family.

Pee Wee
