Hi… my name is Mouse,

Adopted January 18, 2016

What’s more spectacular than an almost all black cat with stand-up-and-shout white antenna-like whiskers? Not much — expect maybe my awesome personality! With my white bib, white paws, emerald green eyes, and the sheen of my silky fur, I’m betting you’ll agree that I’m a pretty irresistible package! A young couple found me on a street in Sahuarita, and while they cared for me they said I loved playing with balls, toys, and pretty much “anything you give her.” I also got along okay with their dogs and did all the charming kitten things that we teenagers still do, so I guess there’s not much else I can say to toot my own horn except that if you plop me in your lap for a chat, we can discuss our options even further!

Hi… my name is Arnie,

Adopted April 16, 2016

You know things can get better when you’re found by someone’s trash cans. That’s what happened to me, so no surprise that when she opened her car door to bring me to TALGV, I jumped right in. Enjoying good food and safe shelter has been great, and I’m learning there’s even more good stuff in life! My human friends really like the way I walk well on a leash, and I’m glad to mind what they say. I’m learning how to play just for the fun of it, and they’re teaching me more good dog manners, too. I’m a well-behaved black and white American Staffordshire Terrier mix male, about 38 pounds, and I’m sure the best is yet to come–when I share love and a forever home with you!

Hi… my name is Lucy,

Adopted March 13, 2016

My amazing story leaves even experienced dog people speechless! It started with a quiet rescue. I was lost and too bashful to be caught until someone offered chicken, which I found irresistible. TALGV was full, so I went to board at a vet’s office, where they found a lump on my side. Something metal was sticking through my skin! They pulled; it wouldn’t budge; so they x-rayed. I had an 8-inch Phillips-head screwdriver in my stomach ! Off to surgery we went; the screwdriver was removed (see last photo in gallery); and no related damage found. Now I’m healed up and ready for some good times. I’m a 2-year-old Boxer mix female, sweet and playful, but not good with cats and probably best as your only dog. How about we create another amazing story of love and fun together!

Hi… my name is Flopsy.

Adopted January 24, 2016

Rats! Here I thought I’d found the home of my dreams when a family adopted my sidekick, Remy, and me as kittens a few months ago. Well, life really was grand with a little kid and dogs to play with, but then they decided they wanted another dog, and the one they got was ginormous! It’s not that he intimidated us, but he was so big, and, uh, seriously exuberant, that they were afraid he’d hurt us with his rowdy play so for our safety, back we came. So even though I’m not a baby any more, I’m still sweetness personified and do all those wonderful kitten things everyone loves, so as country music song goes, I’d like to “steal your heart and squash that sucker flat!

Hi… my name is Remy,

Adopted January 16, 2016

Rats! Here I thought I’d found the home of my dreams when a family adopted my sidekick, Flopsy, and me as kittens a few months ago. Well, life really was grand with a little kid and dogs to play with, but then they decided they wanted another dog, and the one they got was humongous! It’s not that he intimidated us, but he was so big, and, uh, seriously exuberant, that they were afraid he’d hurt us, so for our safety, back we came. But just as we were as babies, we’re sweetness personified, and still do all the wonderful kitten things that will, as country music song goes, “steal your heart and squash that sucker flat!” TALGV wants us to stay together, so won’t you let us both croon our way into your heart?

Hi… my name is Mello,

Adopted January 24, 2016

Everyone’s trying to decide which I am – a Snowshoe or a Ragdoll – but in either case, you can bet I live up to the captivating traits of both (which are pretty similar actually!). I love people, have lived with two dogs, and until recently when the older one started to dominate and intimidate me, got along fine with them. My mom said, “Mello is a warm, loving lady who enjoys being brushed and will sit in your lap and watch TV for hours.” (She also said that I’d love to sleep in bed with you if allowed – which I wasn’t – I think that honor “went to the dogs”!) At any rate, my name says it all, so if you give me a chance, I’ll fill your house with affection – one purr at a time!

Hi… my name is Sadie,

Adopted January 29, 2016

Yep. Under this fluffy mountain of fur beats a heart of pure gold that’s aching to share the love in another peaceful home! My senior mom’s health deteriorated so much that she simply couldn’t care for my friend, Peaches, or me any longer. As the volunteers can tell you, I needed lots of grooming when I arrived – my glorious coat was matted and my ears needed serious attention – but now that I’m being attended to (gently – there’s a lot of “remedial work” needing to be done!), my beauty is becoming more evident each day. I’ve always been a quiet lady, but do love to be with my person – in bed or on the sofa – so a chance to be a comforting, gentle companion to you is the stuff my dreams are made of!
