Hi… my name is Randy,

Adopted 12-31-16

If the dictionary had the term “friendly dog,” my picture should be there! I was found because I just ran up to a guy and let him know I was lost. Oh sure, I was shy when I first came here; you can’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into when your new friends speak Dog Trainer (they love pronouncing “sit,” especially when I, well, sit). Also, I didn’t recall being on a leash before, but you know what? I’m getting better at leash walking every day, and that’s because there’s one thing I know for sure: Pleasing my person makes us both happy! I’m a lively 18-month-old black Lab male with a big heart, and I’d love to meet you, the sooner the better, because I say life’s for living with someone you love!

Hi… my name is Gabriel,

Adopted 2-27-17

My humans decided to go their separate ways when their “life circumstances” changed (I’m not sure what that means, but it sure was a big change for my friend, Joshua, and me!) we ended up losing our home too. I’ve always been a “mama’s boy,” preferring her to the “man of the house,” but Joshua and I got along great – playing and sleeping together in a living room chair. Since my life has changed so precipitously, it might take me a while to warm up in a new situation, but I know once I feel safe and loved, I’ll be your constant companion (with Joshua along it might be easier for us both!). I’m a declawed, 8-year-old who’ll thank you every day for, as the ABBA song goes, “taking a chance on me!”

Hi… my name is Sassy,

Adopted 10-30-16

My motto is “let’s have fun every day!” The woman who found me said that at her house I loved to play with other dogs, loved chew toys, loved treats, and I agree—play, toys, treats, they’re all good! But my finder has 10 other dogs and cats, so she sadly let me come to TALGV. Happily, the volunteers here like me, too; they say I’m “very, very sweet,” (and you know they extra-super mean it when they say “very” twice). At just 5 months old, I’m continuing to learn things good dogs know, and my training should go well since I’m what people call “real smart.” Can’t hurt that I’m real loveable, too! I’m a slender, 27 pound brindle and white beauty, whose happiest day yet will be when you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Sammy,

Adopted with Suki 11-7-16

My best friend, Suki, and I were left without a home when our person moved away. Thank goodness, we have each other, and who knows? Could be the best is yet to come for us! Granted, we’re not spring chickens, but being mature can be a very good thing. I’m a 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix male, 79 pounds, with a tan and white coat. I’ve lots of loves in life—according to my former family, I love kids, cats, cuddling, playing with Suki, and, yes, people—I’m an affectionate guy. They said I was gentle with the kids (all ages visited) and got along with cats, horses and mules (the mules had no comment). Suki and I would like to stay together and if that’s okay in your home, we’ll double the love for you.

Hi… my name is Shadow,

Adopted 11-11-16

When our dear person died, no one in her family could adopt us—that is, her other dog, Chabella, and me. Guess I should call that her human family because Chabella and I were definitely part of her whole family. Then, good news came fast: I’m thrilled to say that someone wonderful adopted Chabella, and now we hope I’m going to be next! I’m little—an adorable 3-year-old white Terrier mix female who weighs just 10 pounds, so yes, you could say I’m pint-size, but please know my heart is big enough for full-size love. TALGV has helped me get ready for a happy future and you can imagine how excited I am to think my magical day could be here soon — the day my wonderful someone takes me home forever!

Hi… my name is Calvin,

Adopted 7-26-17

Calvin has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When I was found in a grocery store parking lot, folks weren’t sure what to call me. So a DNA test was done, which showed I’m part Bullmastiff, Chow Chow, Staffordshire Terrier, Samoyed, and other mixed breeds. TALGV volunteers say I’m also part angel because I’m a loving, good sport, who walks well on a leash, likes to play, cuddle, just hang out with good people, or do whatever you ask (especially if you have cheese or a hotdog to share). To demonstrate my good manners, I earned the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen certificate, the gold standard for behavior programs; my vocabulary includes words like sit, down, stay, and more. I’m an easygoing, handsome (one blue eye, one brown), 3-year-old male, 72 pounds, ready to be someone’s loyal best buddy. Are you ready, too?
