Hi… my name is Sonny,
Adopted 10-29-16
My adorable sister, Cher, and I were adopted three months ago, when we were 3-month-old puppies, but that didn’t work out. The people said we were too active, so I’ll be completely upfront in telling you I am an active 6-month-old puppy. I love playing with my sister and our toys, I’m curious about the world around me, and have the energy and eagerness to learn good-dog things to please you! Already, I know to sit when you say to (usually), and am getting good at walking on a leash. My best features? I’d say being fun-loving, sometimes just plain funny, and my cute puppy personality. But let’s meet and you decide! I’m a Shepherd mix male, 33 pounds, white, black and brown, and so ready to be the happy puppy in your life!

Hi… my name is Star,
Adopted 12-18-16
My person was very sad to let me go, but her own health issue couldn’t be ignored. We’d been together my whole life, so it’s been a major change for me. I’ve been scared and lonely, but now I understand that “home” will be a new place. I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix female, and I’m expecting a nice long future with my new someone, maybe even more love and fun than I could imagine! Once I get over my shyness, I’ll do my part, too. Fetch is my favorite game (although I need instruction on bringing the toy all the way back), and I know commands like sit and stay. Best of all, since I want love, I know how to give lots of it, too. Won’t you give me a visit today?

Hi… my name is Patches,
Adopted 11-29-16
My person and I were together almost three years, since I was 2 months old, when I suddenly lost him. After his death, relatives brought me here, where volunteers have helped me understand the big change. Their company has meant so much to me, including the great back scratches they give. It helps that I’m a good listener; my many new friends can tell you that I always enjoy being talked to and petted. My person’s family also reported I know “sit” and “paw” (shake hands), will alert to strangers, guarded my food, and was gentle with a 16-year-old young person at home. I’m a handsome, leash-trained Staffie mix male, about 80 pounds, hoping my adorable face appeals to you because I’ll look at you with love every day if you make me yours.

Hi… my name is Chester,
Adopted 10-21-16
Chester is FIV positive; therefore, he comes with Free Vet Care for Life.
My “pluses” so far outweigh my one “minus” (I’m FIV-positive, so come with Free Vet Care for Life) that you’ll hardly even notice! My mom said that I’m quiet, laid back, playful, kittenlike, gentle and tolerant (pretty much a “normal” 5-year-old cat!) and handsome to boot! She said I love to play with toys, am very affectionate and calm and have “absolutely no bad behavior.” I am frightened of dogs, so I’d do best as an only feline (or a companion to another FIV-positive cat) and I’m sure I’d be fine with kids too. I’ve got many years ahead of me to live a happy, healthy life (just ask Tipsy, the FIV-positive TALGV spokescat – he’s going strong at 12!), so why not let me spend them with you!

Hi… my name is Pi,
Adopted 12-3-16
Pi has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.
Dogs love human companionship. Trust me, I know! So, when I was found wandering alone and my former owners said they didn’t have time for me anymore, well, we agreed it’s best I find a new home. They said I was gentle and tolerant with children, and the volunteers here will tell you about my other good behavior—on a leash, in the car. Indeed, I performed so well on some behavior tests that I’ve earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate! Does that make me special? Yeah, they say so, but you know what I say would be even better? Earning my place in your heart. I’m a 3-1/2-year-old Boxer/Heeler mix, a handsome brindle male, about 60 pounds, who’d like to be your one and only canine—your well-behaved, loving, faithful companion forever!

Hi… my name is Checho,
Adopted 9-5-17
Not long ago I lived in terror, chained in a yard and beaten with a stick so severely that I lost one of my legs. Some Good Samaritans documented the abuse and when it went viral on social media, I was removed from that place. Although they’re being prosecuted, my former owners threatened to take me back, so TALGV promised to find me a home with a compassionate soul instead. I’m a 2-year-old, 40-pound heeler/terrier mix, and despite what I’ve been through, my rescuers said I’m learning to trust humans again, and am an obedient, submissive, loyal, handsome boy with only love to give. If you can give me a safe and loving home, please call TALGV at 520-625-3170 so we can meet! I promise there’ll be a “star in your crown” for your kindness.
