Hi… my name is Colleen,

Adopted 12-3-16

Since I was found outside a local real estate office, my TALGV buddies tease me that I was trying to find a home on my own. In a sense, that’s true! But when they mention rent or down payment, well, I’m happy to switch to dog talk. For instance, am I a dog who likes to play? Oh yes!   Am I lively, affectionate, and interested in the world around me—especially people? You bet! And most important: Do I have the makings of a lifelong loyal companion who’ll stick by you during the good and hard times? Absolutely; just look in my eyes and you’ll see that I do. I’m a 1-year-old female, a beautiful black and white Lab mix, who offers a constant heartbeat of love for you when you take me home.

Hi… my name is Victoria,

Adopted 1-10-17

I’ve changed since TALGV first shared my story! Oh, I’m still a beautiful, young, Red Heeler mix female who loves people. But now I’m even better! Here’s my updated story: I was left in a crate with a note saying my owner loved me but couldn’t keep me, and that I’m deaf. Well, the volunteers soon loved me, too, and praised my good qualities—smart, playful, super eager to please my person. But I barked too much at other dogs. A bad habit, right? Fortunately, inappropriate behavior can be corrected and I’m living proof! After excellent training with my enthusiastic cooperation, I can now see other dogs, even walk by them, without doing all that barking! It’s the new and improved me, all because I want to be the best dog possible for you!

Hi… my name is Smokey,

Adopted 11-22-16

Smokey comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

Eight-plus years ago, when I was a wiggly little guy, I was adopted into a loving home. Even the neighbors could see that I was a happy dog all the time! But this year, sadly, my person died. Of course, I still have friends. The people at TALGV will always take a TALGV dog back, and so I’m here now. And even though losing my person was very sad, I’m still that naturally happy guy, a smart and sweet dog who is leash-trained, housebroken, and good in the house even when the people are gone. I’m a 20-pound, little black and white Terrier mix male, and at 11 years of age, I come with Free Vet Care for Life! So what do you think? Will you let me add my happy heart to yours?

Hi… my name is Sonora,

Adopted 1-26-17

I once lived in a group of dogs who’d been abandoned on some foreclosed property. When rescued, I was just 10 months old and had been in that place my whole life! Now I’m here and my days are a lot more fun. Plus, my dog pals are helping me get over my shyness with people, and even though human kindness is new to me, I now know that people can be wonderful! They give great tummy rubs, ear scratches, and take me for walks. I’m best with grown-up people only; no children, please. I don’t really understand little ones, but, fortunately, adults seem to love me. I’m a young Lab mix female, black with touches of white, about 45 pounds, and my fondest dream is to share a bright, happy future with you!

Hi… my name is Pecan,

Adopted 11-17-16

I was found—well, looking at my name you can guess—in the pecan groves! We don’t know how an adorable guy like me became lost there, but we’re glad to move on to the good news: I was rescued! I’m a 4-month-old Lab mix male, tan and white and handsome as can be. My foster mom thinks the world and all of me; she says I appear to be housebroken (no accidents in her home), sleep quietly in my kennel all night, love people (will follow you everywhere), and love other dogs, big and small. She’s helping me learn what “no” means, and says that with training, I’m going to make a wonderful big guy! My two cents: I love to play! So how about we go home and have fun together!

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.
