Hi… my name is Marti (aka Della),

Adopted July 22, 2016

People often comment on my gorgeous looks, but I must tell you that I’m not self-centered. I’m so interested in the world around me—people, other dogs, anything that’s happening! I’m a 1-year-old Lab/Staffie mix female, about 60 pounds, a beauty in tan and white (my “baby” pictures are at the end of the website gallery). I’m an exuberant, energetic girl who can be good on a leash but strong, too, and so if I’m distracted, you need to be strong enough to get me “back in line.” I know “sit,” love water (have webbed feet), ride well in a car, and was crate-trained as a puppy. If you come for a visit, I know we’ll have fun meeting each other. And if we really like each other, I’d be so happy to be yours!

Hi… my name is Roxie (Sue),

Adopted by Foster Parents 6-15-19

I understand that losing my home wasn’t anyone’s fault—not mine or mom’s. She has a health issue and needed to move, and couldn’t take care of me anymore. So now I’m hoping that since I’m a friendly, grownup dog with a sweet disposition, some wonderful someone like you will give me a new forever home. I’ll give you my best: Will sit when you say to, walk beside you on the leash, and always remember my good house manners. And when we have our happy times—on walks, at play, and especially when you give me your love and attention—sometimes I’ll even smile (in my own way). I hope this sounds good to you because it sounds great to me. Won’t you please choose me to take home with you today?

Hi… my name is Blue,

Adopted September 5, 2016

Blue has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

I was left home alone and, unlike the movie, no one came back for me. Fortunately, a helpful neighbor brought me to TALGV. Now, you might think I’d be upset about this situation, but I’m pretty much the opposite. I’ve remained calm and easy going, and adjusted almost immediately. I’m very interested in the world around me, “inquisitive” is how a volunteer describes me, and she says I’m also very bright. A grey and white Staffie mix male, 1 year old, I’m not given to barking much, but do enjoy watching people and, based on my eagerness to hop in a car, I’d probably like car rides. Truth be told, I’d love everything about a truly forever home and will give my full love and attention in return. Could that please be with you?

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!
