Hi… my name is Moses,

Adopted April 18, 2016

Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” and that’s what has happened for my friends, Mango, Ben, Bookstore, Riley, Petro, and me. Although our starting point wasn’t exactly that far away, we did come quite a distance in order for TALGV to save us from a shelter that is closing. It’s taking us a while to settle in after our long trip, but if you just spend a few minutes with us, you’ll see how much we’re all longing for human companionship and interaction – especially that wonderful ear and chin scratching! And purr? Well, let me tell you! We’re all “yearlings” who have tons of time ahead of us to be able to fill your heart and home with love – one purr at a time.

Hi… my name is Amor,

Adopted April 26, 2016

To see us cuddle and play, you might think my siblings and I have had only fun days, but our lives started with a struggle. After a difficult delivery, our mother couldn’t care for us and bottle-feeding wasn’t working. Just when things looked desperate, a small mother dog appeared! Her own puppies weren’t found, but she accepted us instead, making us three very lucky pups! Today we’re thriving, running and playing, sometimes falling all over ourselves. Our biological mom was an Otterhound mix, so that’s a hint of what we’ll look like. And, of course, we’re all adorable. I’m a female pup, black and tan with white markings on my head, neck, chest and each paw, and I have a whole lot of puppy love to give. How about I give it to you!

Hi… my name is Pearl,

Adopted June 7, 2016

I’m a happy, enthusiastic girl despite losing my first home through no fault of my own.   My person wanted to keep me, but the landlord wouldn’t allow it. She still really wanted me, so I was kind of “on hold” for a while, but eventually it became clear that I must have a new place to live. So, here I am, putting on my best smile and looking forward to a happy future. I’m what people call “optimistic.” I’m also pretty smart, according to the volunteers, so with some human help, I could become a well-trained companion. I’m a 40 pounds female Pointer mix,  white with some cool tan markings (especially around my eyes). Please come for a visit and I’ll show you what a fun-loving friend I can be.

Hi… my name is Kiki,

Adopted 10-21-17

Kiki has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I came to TALGV “highly recommended.” My former people—who loved me but had to give me up due to a serious illness in the family—described me as super smart, playful, and loving. I’m a beautiful 5-1/2-year-old black and white female, about 55 pounds, and once I warm up to new people, I thrive on praise and affection. As far as behavior in general, I proved my personal excellence by earning my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate—a gold standard in the dog world. And for fun, I love playing in water, car rides, and quiet times, too—happy just hanging out with my special someone(s). I can’t tell you how much I’d love to have a home again and if that could be with you, I’ll give you all my love forever!

Ray

Hi… my name is Ray,

Adopted March 25, 2016

I’m one lucky puppy in a litter of lucky pups, but that wasn’t always the case. My siblings and I weren’t welcome where we were born and we might have ended up trying to fend for ourselves (which conjures up scary thoughts of dangerous things). Instead, we were brought to this wonderful place, where we’re safe, cherished, served nutritious food and taught things dogs need to know. Turns out puppy life can be comfy and fun! Yes, puppies require lots of love and care to help us grow, but we also brighten your world as only puppy love and joy can. Please come share our happiness. I’m Ray, a good-looking 3-month-old Shepherd mix male, black with tan and white markings, and I’m hoping you’ll like me so much you’ll want to take me home!

Hi… my name is Peaches,

Adopted 12-31-16

Peaches has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Back when I was lost, I’d wait until nighttime, then crawl up on a cushioned wicker chair in a stranger’s atrium and sleep there. I thought I was without a friend, but that wasn’t so. Soon, some kind people came for me and brought me here, where I’m safe, comfy, and everyone likes me! They say my name suits me because I’m so sweet-natured, and they praise me for being calm and gentle. I can be bashful, but I’m also good with most people because I love their company. Maybe you’ll like being with me, too. How about we meet today and find out! I’m a soft-coated brown and white Staffie mix female, a little over 1 year old and about 57 pounds. There are lots of happy years ahead—let’s spend them together!
