Hi… my name is Oxford,

Adopted 3-25-17

I’m here to tell all you felines who think the “great outdoors” in someplace you want to be ­– I’ve “been there, done that” and I can tell you I was “underwhelmed!” I was so happy when a family rescued me ‘cause I was really beginning to think my number was almost up. Thankfully, they took me in and discovered that I’m a quiet, happy, “meeter and greeter” who loves toy mice, strings, (“anything that moves!”), and have a friendly and affectionate personality. They did say that I “eat quickly” so had to monitor my food intake (that’s a holdover from scrounging, I think!), but other than that I’m a totally great guy who’s about 5 years old, so come get to know me – love might be just around the corner!

Hi… my name is Milly,

Adopted 3-11-17

If happiness is contagious, you might catch it from me. Granted, I’ve known tough times lately. I was a stray dog, found wandering around Rancho Sahuarita, and although my finder kept me for two weeks, he couldn’t find my owner. It kind of hurt that no one claimed me, but I’m past that now—especially because here, every day someone tells me what a great dog I am. And I do have lots of fun. I’m about 2 years old, an Aussie mix female who’s just 25 pounds (yes, I’m very slender), white with a tan face and a couple of tan circles on my sides. I’m very good on a leash (only occasionally making little jumps for joy), and have oceans of love to give. Will you let me give it to you?

Hi… my name is Queenie Sue,

Adopted 9-16-17

Queenie Sue has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Running free can be glorious if you’re safe—like when you’re at home or out running with your person. But I was found running loose and not safe at all because I was near a highway, without a collar or tag, and without a friend until a gentleman stopped, picked me up and brought me here. People say I’m stunningly beautiful—a blonde and white Husky mix female with a good-looking physique at 61 pounds—and those kind words are sweet, but I’m way more interested in how we feel about each other. Come visit and you’ll see that I’m looking for a friend. I’m 4 years old and still energetic, so we could exercise and then relax together the way old buddies do. How about it? Could we be friends for life?

Hi… my name is Sweetie,

Adopted with Pie 3-9-20

Sweetie has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

True to my name, I’m a real sweetie—gentle and loving, and at other times playful and active. I share life with Pie—a much happier life now. In the past, we were abandoned at a rental house, but we’ve left that sadness behind. Today, we’re enjoying a stay at a foster home, where we’ve learned indoor/outdoor manners. We each go to the door, sit and wait to go in or out. And foster mom says we’re fully housetrained! We both know commands like “sit,” “stay” and “come,” and were well-behaved passengers in the car. We do alert to a knock on the door, and other than that, foster mom says, we’re perfect! All we need is love—that forever kind of love that comes with a home. Could we find it with you?

Pie

Hi… my name is Pie,

Adopted with Sweetie 3-9-20

Given the chance (a nice yard, a person to encourage me), I’m an active, enthusiastic dog. And if napping indoors were a sport, I’d have some gold medals by now. I arrived here with Sweetie, another lovely dog, after we were abandoned at a rental house. Today, we’re enjoying the good life at a foster home, where we’ve demonstrated very nice indoor/outdoors manners—we’re both fully housebroken, plus we sit by the door and wait to go in or out. We know important commands and are good passengers in the car. Foster mom says we’re wonderful companions—that we alert to a knock at the door, but are otherwise perfect! We’re both great snugglers and are yearning for that one perfect place—a forever home with someone to love. Could that be with you?

Hi… my name is Chubbs,

Adopted 2-13-17

Three new mouths to feed were three too many for our person, so my brothers and I came to TALGV, where the food is yummy. Equally delightful, play time here is all day and all night—except when we’re napping, which happens often. We have fun running around, jumping (our puppy hop-pounce kind of thing—you just have to be here), and love it when humans come play and cuddle with us! We’re friendly, fun-loving Chihuahua/Poodle mix pups; I’m an adorable male, the one with the white coat. Just 3.14 pounds on arrival, I’m still growing and have lots to learn. If you take me home, I’ll need your love, time and patience, and will try to make you smile every day. Won’t you please come see if my puppy love is for you?

Hi… my name is Gracie,

Adopted with Sophia 3-4-17

Gracie comes with Free Vet Care for Life

In my “first life,” I lived with my friend, Sophia, and a houseful of kids and dogs for seven years. Even then, we much preferred the older, quiet humans to the raucous “others,” and after they had to relinquish us, we went to live with a single, older lady and life was finally serene. Sadly, after our mom died, there was no family to take us in, so we’re both back again, looking for that “third time’s a charm” place (hopefully together!). I’m an affectionate, declawed “meeter-and-greeter” type who, at almost 15 years, will have free vet care for life (and offer a whole lot of “thank you” love if you take me home!). “Seniors for seniors” is my mantra, so why not let it be yours, too?

Hi… my name is Stella,

Adopted with Callie 3-7-17

I just want to know one thing: why is it that dogs often get to go with their owners when they move and we cats draw the short straw? I’d say that’s racial profiling, except my mom really did love me, so I guess maybe she didn’t have a choice. At any rate, my sister, Callie, and I are going to miss the family, but we’re both so enchanting, that I have high hopes we’ll find new digs soon. Mom said, “Stella likes catnip toys and laser pointers, is very sweet and loves to be petted, but she’ll often disappear to have her ‘alone time.’” If you ask me, that’s just typical cat behavior though, so come take a gander at me, spend a little time, and let’s see what we can work out!
