Lilly

Hi… my name is Lilly,

Adopted with Big Kitty 8-12-17

So you think your house is active? After my mom moved away, a friend took me in until she could come back for me, but that never happened. The sudden change was bad enough, but when I discovered that my new home had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, bearded dragons (the only creature missing was “a partridge in the pear tree”!), and 8 kids ranging in age from 18 months to 14 years, I was totally overwhelmed. My foster mom said that I was “a diamond in the rough,” who was good with the kids, okay with the dogs, but thought that I’d be happier as an only feline. So as a lovely, longhaired tuxedo lady, I’ll bet with just a bit of polishing, I’ll be the sparkle in your life!

Cody

Hi… my name is Cody,

Adopted 1-14-17

Once I find my place in the world, I’m going to stretch my little legs, snuggle in, and be happy forever! My past is unclear—I was “dropped off,” and that’s about all we know. But that was yesterday. Today, I’m doing my little guy best to find the person who needs me. I think of it that way because I’ll be giving my family lots of love and smiles. Sometimes people enjoy just watching me run around, probably because of my Bassett-like shape, which does look awfully cute on a walk (and I’m good on the leash). One thing for sure: I’m a champion cuddler. I can position my 35-pound body right next to you and will gladly roll over for belly rubs. How about we find each other—the sooner, the better!

Alli

Hi… my name is Alli,

Adopted 3-14-17

My rescuers found me in their own front yard. I saw them coming and, thankfully, they spotted me—cold, covered in grass, and shaking. Yes, I was scared, but being rescued was far better than being lost! And now I’m safe, able to relax and get ready for the next destination on the road to a happy life: a home! I’m a little 4-year-old white Poodle mix female, and on arrival here, I needed some medical attention. They told me not to worry—lots of us need care now and again, so I’ve been grateful for that. And you know what? It feels like love—people who watch over you and are happy just to see you. That’s what I want to give in return. Will you let me give my heart to you?

Stella

Hi… my name is Stella,

Adopted 2-15-17

There’s the song “Stella by Starlight,” the book Stellaluna, the famous movie cry “STELLA!,” and then there’s me—Stella, the beautiful chocolate Hound mix female. I’m 15 months old, about 50+ pounds, and was much loved in my former home, but they soon found they were too busy for me. In our short time together, they said, I was very smart, friendly, and playful; “absolutely a sweetheart” and “very gentle” with the kids,” “warmed up nicely to our cat,” and walked well on the leash, although I do need a strong person on the other end. I like squeaky toys, will sit for treats, am crate-trained, and if you’re my person, I’ll always try to please you. Best of all, I have a very loving heart. Will you let me give it to you?

Zoey Ann

Hi… my name is Zoey Ann,

Adopted 1-16-17

No one knows how I lost my eye, but if it makes no difference to you, I can assure you it makes no difference to me, ‘cause it doesn’t bother me one bit! After my mom lost her home and moved to California, a friend took me in until a relative was to have taken me, but that never happened. My temporary home was loaded with other critters – dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs – and I just never adjusted to that many other creatures vying for space and attention, so here I am, hoping for a quiet place where I can “have it all”! I love being petted (my rumbling purr will be your first clue!), and adore people, so why not be my “second eye” and let’s look at life together!

Bubbles

Hi… my name is Bubbles,

Adopted 1-22-17

In an empty lot, surrounded by bushes and trash, I gave birth to eight puppies! Thankfully, I was able to provide for them, but had to forage for my own food. That’s what I was doing on an I-19 exit when a man saw me, stopped and came back, and I led him to my babies. He was like our angel, putting us in his car and bringing us here—taking us from lost to loved! The volunteers say I’ve continued to be a wonderfully devoted mom while my little ones grow and play. And I’m growing, too! I arrived terribly underweight, but now enjoy lots of nutritious food every day. I’m a Heeler/Lab mix with an interesting past, ready for a carefree, happy future in which I give my sweet devotion to you!

Atticus

Hi… my name is Atticus (aka Rotini),

Adopted 1-7-17

Our family is splitting in two and their new places won’t have room for my sister Q-tip or me. It’s a big change, but a big chance, too. Here, I could meet my forever best friend—one or more—and start sharing the good life with them! I’m 11 months old, a friendly, loyal Heeler mix who has developed some excellent qualities. My former owner said I was “great with cats,” (I hear not everyone can say that), know some important commands, and love to cuddle. But I’m most interested in you—or let’s say “us,” because I think we could have lots of fun and enjoy life just by being together. A handsome black and white male, about 55 pounds, I’m ready to be your devoted companion for a long, happy time.

Chico

Hi… my name is Chico,

Adopted 1-12-17

Bio from August 2016: I was a lucky guy to be rescued from the streets of Phoenix, but after my finders brought me home to southern Arizona, they couldn’t keep me. Turned out their resident dog did not want me to move in. So they brought me here, where I’m still dreaming of my forever home. Maybe it could be with you? I’m a little guy—just 6+ pounds—so I can promise not to take up much room in your home, but hope to take up a real big spot in your heart. My temporary people said that I loved everybody, and I agree that’s true. At 8 years old, I’ve learned that if you want love, it’s best to give it. If you agree, please come see me today. We could be perfect for each other!

Q-tip

Hi… my name is Q-tip (aka Dixie),

Adopted 1-7-17

When I was first adopted, I was part of a litter found in the desert and weighed just 8 pounds! Today, I’m a 55-pound, 17-month-old who’s learned a thing or two. Unfortunately, my family is splitting up and their new places won’t have room for my buddy Atticus or me. (We’ve lived together for the last year or so.) But I’m optimistic! After all, it’s a good thing to have some training under your belt, right? I know some important commands, and my former owners said I was good in the house even when they were gone. They described me as a “playful, loyal cuddler,” and said I was “great with cats!” Brindle and white, I’m a Heeler mix female who hopes my next home is my forever home with someone wonderful like you!

Baxter

Hi… my name is Baxter,

Adopted 1-11-17

“Found in the Santo Tomas neighborhood. He is one of the local strays. Very friendly. HATES DOGS!” That’s pretty much it for what anyone knows about me. Well, except that, as stated, I really am very friendly – especially since I’ve been relying on the “kindness of strangers,” so having a home of my own has been a dream of mine for quite some time. They’re guessing my age at about 7 years (I guess teeth tell some sort of story in that regard), and with the distinctive dot near my nose (sort of a “half-moustache”), I’ve got charm as well. Now would be a good time to start your year off with a good deed, so why not make me yours? There’ll be happiness in store for us both!

Eli

Hi… my name is Eli,

Adopted 1-7-17

When I first arrived at TALGV, I’d sit at the fence dividing my doggie neighbor and me, and the two of us would silently touch our heads together for comfort. Maybe that story tells you the kind of gentle soul I am. Some folks see “Border Collie” and think I’m high energy, but the people I lived with for a few weeks described me as “very quiet, easy going, a great companion,” and a “great house dog.” They said I was gentle with small children, got along with other dogs, and love to play fetch. With two other dogs and two new babies, they rescued me but couldn’t keep me, so I’m here; a 3-year-old, 42-pound, white and brown male. The volunteers call me a treasure, but I just want to be called yours.

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.
