Hi… my name is Titus,

Adopted 4-18-18

“Very loving, affectionate, beautiful!” That’s what my former family said about me. So why am I here? Well, I’m not good with livestock, so if you have livestock at home, I’m not for you. They also said I’d “never been a fan of cats” and wasn’t good with small dogs. But the report changed completely when the subject was children. My former people said I “love kids.” There were three in the family and I “was always following them around as their babysitter and guardian.” Another important note: I lived outside, but they let me inside at night and reported “no accidents.” I’m a 4-1/2-year-old, rust and white Staffie mix male with beautiful blue eyes that try to tell you what a good boy I’d be for you. Will you give me the chance?

Hi… my name is Gemini,

Adopted 2-19-17

My four sisters and I were “unwanted puppies.” Luckily for us, TALGV people say they don’t even know what that means—that we’re all wanted and loved! And here’s something else I’ve learned: Being a puppy is the definition of having fun! Plus, we’re good at all kinds of puppy things, like running, jumping, rolling over, and pulling your shoelaces. We also eat well and grow without even trying! I’m Gemini—a female with a white coat and dark gray eye patches, ears, spots, and a very pretty face. I sure hope you love one of us. Okay, honestly, I hope it’s me, but won’t you come see us all? And if you have the time and patience for a puppy, maybe you can give me the best gift ever: My very own home!

Hi… my name is Pisces,

Adopted 2-3-17

My four sisters and I were “unwanted puppies.” Lucky for us, TALGV people say they don’t even know what that means—that we’re all wanted and loved! And here’s something else I’ve learned: Being a puppy is the definition of having fun! We’re already good at lots of puppy things, like running, jumping, rolling over, playing all day, and pulling your shoelaces. We also eat well and grow without even trying! I’m Pisces—a female with a mainly white coat, some gray speckles and gray ears, and allover sweet. I sure hope you love one of us. Okay, honestly, I hope it’s me, but won’t you come see us all? And if you have the time and patience for a puppy, maybe you can give me the best gift ever: My very own home!

Hi… my name is Virgo,

Adopted 2-25-17

My four sisters and I were “unwanted puppies.” Lucky for us, TALGV people say they don’t even know what that means—that we’re all wanted and loved! And here’s something else I’ve learned: Being a puppy is the definition of having fun!

Hi… my name is Brooklyn,

Adopted 4-21-17

Whew! My life has undergone so many changes lately, my head’s been spinning! First, my former family and I moved, my living area going from spacious to small, then they became very busy and there wasn’t time for me. Finally, they decided that the best thing for me would be a new home. So I’m here, scared and nervous at first, but happy to be enjoying lots of my favorite things again: I love treats, toys, walks (I’m very good on a leash) and especially the company of a kind person. I’m a very sweet 6-year-old Boxer mix female, a nice size at just 37 pounds, and when I look up at you with my big brown eyes, I hope you see the great friend I could be. How about we try that today?

Ace

Hi… my name is Ace,

Adopted 3-5-17

I was rescued by a volunteer who saw me chasing an SUV on Duval Mine Road near the TALGV entrance. But these days, I don’t have to run after friends because kind people come to me. I go for walks with volunteers—they like the way I sit to get ready and walk well on the leash, and they compliment me on being a very handsome 4-year-old Lab mix male, mainly black with white touches, looking good now (although a bit thin at 55 pounds on arrival). Shy at first, I’m a fast learner and soon warm to kindness. So won’t you please come for a visit? You might just find that I’m the loyal, loving companion you want in your life, and I I’ll do my best to make you glad I’m yours.

Hi… my name is Tazra,

Adopted 8-18-17

Tazra comes with Free Vet Care for Life

Okay, let’s be up front here. I’m a 20-year-old lady (so I have free vet care for life) who’s getting a smidge creaky around the edges ­­– my hearing isn’t quite what it used to be, I tend to nap and watch TV a lot, and I occasionally miss my litterbox (well, I get in it, I just hang over the edge a bit!) – but hey, there are a lot of people in Green Valley with the same “ailments!” I like to sit in your lap and get ear and chin scratches though, and I still play with toys occasionally, so I’m not a total stick-in-the-mud! Someone once said, “Blessed be the person who takes in an older cat, for their time with us is more important than our time with them.” I’m hoping you believe that!

Hi… my name is Orion,

Adopted 4-22-18

Orion has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

“Give this dog a chance. I promise you’ll love him!” My foster folks said that about me after we spent a week together. I’m a Deaf dog, so they had fun learning my sign language, and we all fell in love with each other except their other dog, that didn’t want me around. So, Foster Mom left messages for you about me, and here’s part of what she wrote: “This dog is amazing! Housetrained…good in a crate…loves other dogs and cats…very good at reading others to figure out how they want to play…at home he didn’t bark once…good when he slept with us—no messes, no fussing…he’s a very smart boy.” I’m a 3-year-old male, yearning to give you my whole happy heart. So what do you say—will you give me a chance?

Hi… my name is Homie,

Adopted 2-16-17

“Very sweet, talkative, and attention starved. Homie came from a hoarding situation and didn’t have food at times and rarely received any sort of kindness.” That’s what my foster mom said after she rescued me, but after having me for three weeks, she said that I was really coming out of my shell and craving human interaction. When you’ve lived with twenty-some cats, it’s hard to assert yourself, so I always kept a low profile. Well, that’s something I’d like to fix right quick, so if you have a bit of patience and lots of love in your heart, I promise that you’d make my year! I’m a 2½ year-old boy with a distinctive tipped ear whose sole aim in life is to make yours happy!

Hi… my name is Tommy,

Adopted 2-6-17

Guess where I was found? Behind a vet clinic, lost and scrounging for food. That was a lucky location and, honestly, it was time my luck changed. X-rays at that clinic indicated a fractured pelvis in my past (back when I was a really little puppy), probably from being hit by a car. Fortunately, it healed in a useable manner. Some people may notice a limp, but I get along just fine. I hope you’ll let me show you because then maybe we could play and that’s one of my favorite things. I’m a very loving, sweet Heeler mix male, 8 months old, brown, and 35 pounds. Cars still scare me, but being near people makes me very happy. Take me home and I’ll do my best to make you very happy, too!
