Hi… my name is Elvis,
Adopted 3-13-18
I’d just stepped out of the desert near I-19 and Sahuarita Road, coming from a lonely place, when I spotted a man offering me a ride! Well, I know a good thing when I see it and so I jumped in that car, unafraid. My new friend kindly relieved me of some cactus needles and brought me here, where volunteers described me as a very sweet guy from the very beginning—offering friendship in my own gentle way. I’m about 2 years old, 59 pounds, and some kind of Hound—I hope you say the handsome, loveable kind. I know several commands and I’m “tuned in” to people. I’d love a visit from you, and just maybe, on my luckiest of days, you’ll enjoy being with me so much that we’ll go home together.

Hi… my name is Ezmaee,
Adopted 2-5-18
People pleasing is number one on my to-do list, so when someone asks me to “sit up pretty,” I’m glad to do it. My friends here say it’s my trademark because I’m pretty inside and out—a red and white Border Collie mix female, 67 pounds and 6-1/2 years old, who’s a delightful companion for going on walks, running, playing, and cuddling. After my former person suffered a significant knee injury, she couldn’t walk or run with me anymore, and wanted me to have the chance to be with someone who could—someone who’ll relish my energy and joy of living. She called me “extremely loveable,” gentle and tolerant with the 16-year-old at her house, and trained to “sit” and “stay” too. I’d love the chance to make you happy. Will you let me try?

Hi… my name is Bonnie,
Adopted with Clyde 2-27-18
There may be a fascinating tale about how Clyde and I ended up on the side of the road (Duval Mine Road, to be specific), but our headline news is that we were rescued! I’m an 18-month-old Husky female, tricolored (silver, tan and white) with gorgeous blue eyes, and although just 60 pounds, I’m a strong dog. To quote my intake exam, I’m “very strong but sweet natured.” I like to think that’s my charming balance—strong and sweet. Volunteers say I’m friendly and loveable, too, and Clyde agrees. We’re great together and he relies on me (perhaps especially because he’s a three-legged dog), so we’d love to stay together. We know it will take someone special to adopt us both, but it could happen. Indeed, someone that wonderful could be as close as you!

Hi… my name is Dennis,
Adopted 1-17-18
Outgoing, sociable, welcoming—pick your favorite synonym for friendly and you’ll be describing me. I love the company of people and it shows! But somehow I became lost, and when found on Continental near I-19, I had wounds on the exterior of both ears. Naturally, I was very happy to be rescued, plus have my wounds tended. My wonderful rescuers already had dogs and cats, but they gave me major kudos for being playful, energetic, and just plain lovable. I’m a 1-year-old Retriever mix male and there’s still lots of puppy in me, which means I’ve things to learn (probably haven’t had much attention before), and my healthy appetite will come in handy for treat-motivated training. Most of all, I’ll want to please the one who’ll be my friend forever, and hopefully that’s you!

Hi… my name is Rukus,
Adopted 2-3-18
Rukus has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.
If you love dogs (and I’m guessing you do), you understand the heartache of being what’s called an “unwanted” dog. It wasn’t about me, really—my person loved me. She got me as a puppy, said I grew up to be “wonderful,” and even liked my kisses. But she couldn’t take me with her when she moved to Phoenix; her family here wouldn’t take me, and her landlord wanted me gone yesterday. So I was living outside, experiencing long and lonely days, when suddenly, I came here. What a difference! Now I’m in out of the weather, have great company, walk with people every day, and I am wanted here; they call me “a sweetheart.” I’m a 7-year-old female, 44 pounds, and oh- so-ready to love you forever if you take me home.

Hi… my name is Bruce (aka Buddha),
Adopted 1-27-19
Things were great at home until my people realized how much they wanted to travel and how often they’d be boarding me to do that, leaving me sad and lonely. So a new home is best, a place to give and get lots of people attention—which I love! At home, I was crate-trained, gentle and tolerant with kids ages 8 and older, and “asked” to go outside. Here at TALGV, my trainer says I’ve come a long way in learning to be nonreactive to other dogs, I’m treat-motivated, love belly rubs and my chew toy, and would be best with someone who gives me direction in a positive manner because I’m still a puppy at heart! She also said I’m one in a million—adorable and smart—and all I want to be is yours! (Bio revised 8/6/18)
