Hi… my name is Stripes.

Adopted December 14, 2014.

My dad only had me for two months before he moved out of state and decided he couldn’t take me (or my feline and canine friends) with him. You’d think he might have made better plans before adopting us in the first place! Well anyway, now I’m here and hoping that I don’t get “lost” among all the other kittens in residence at the moment (there seems to have been a bumper crop this year!). I’m am adorable medium-haired black and white, 4-month-old girl with a few “stripes” down my nose — thus my name, I guess. As with all kids my age, I’m inquisitive, playful, and into everything, so why not let me check out all the nooks and crannies in YOUR house?

Hi… my name is Clove.

I was adopted September 4, 2014.

They probably didn’t know when they christened me that my eyes would one day match my name! I do have quite astonishing amber eyes, and they go beautifully with my bold personality. I was adopted from TALGV in 2013, and although I loved my mom dearly, I didn’t get along with the other cat in the house, so I’m back “on the market” again. I love to snuggle in the (early!) morning and evening, am a real explorer (the “outgoing” part coming out!), and love to play with toys, so if you’d like a handsome, active, tabby and white fellow who’ll be with you through thick and thin, that would be me!

Hi… my name is Micky.

Adopted September 17, 2014.

I’d just managed to dash around the traffic on Sahuarita Road when a lady stopped, opened her car door, and in I jumped! Wasn’t I glad SHE came by! Since TALGV was “full to the gills” as usual, I’m staying at a boarding kennel ‘til there’s room for me to “move on up,” but I’m being walked and socialized, and the volunteers say that I’m young, energetic, and eager to GO! I’m getting better on a leash, but I’m happiest when I can lay my head in your lap and enjoy some petting during our “sitting time.” I’m a handsome Staffie mix boy who’s pining for my very own person to make life complete.

Hi… my name is Sadie.

Adopted November 29, 2014.

If you’re looking for a gal with an active mind, tons of energy (think of a hiking, walking, running partner!), and intelligence, well her name would be “Sadie”! I’m a striking, 35-pound Australian blue heeler who is a real “looker” with my one blue and one brown eye. I’ve had some professional obedience training (I know wait, sit, leave it, out, down and more!), and am perfectly housebroken, leash- and crate-trained. I’m still a high energy “puppy” though (at almost 18 months), so I’d probably be a wonderful candidate for agility training (keeps the old mind and body “occupied”!) in addition to providing lots of “together” time. So if you’re an experienced, “dog person” who can provide the leadership I need to help me realize my full potential, we should definitely meet!

Hi… my name is Ginger.

Adopted October 6, 2014.

You’ve got to give my rescuers credit — they found me lying in a ditch six months ago when I was all banged up, VERY thin, and afraid of everything. During the ensuing months, I’ve been patched (and fattened) up, gotten to know and enjoy their cat, dog, and kids, and now I love everyone! Just goes to show you what a little patience, love, and TLC will do! I know quite a few commands, love to play ball, fetch, and spend lots of time outside and to follow everyone around when they’re doing their chores. I’m a sweet, medium-sized, red heeler mix lady, and since my people just couldn’t keep me forever, I’m now hoping I can find another active family that will make my life complete.

Hi… my name is Pancho.

Adopted December 29, 2014.

My brother, Sancho, and I got “downsized” when our mom and dad “upsized” to a bigger rental home that didn’t allow pets. I guess I shouldn’t “go there” and tell you how we feel about that (you can guess, surely!), but the bottom line is now YOU have a chance to add a delightful  Chihuahua boy (or two) to your life! I get along fine with my brother, but I’m not overly fond of other dogs, so it would be great if I could continue being the human-loving guy I’ve always been. I’m housetrained, like to go for walks, am not a picky eater (most dogs aren’t actually!), and I’d love to show you what joy having a little tyke sitting in your lap really is!

Hi… my name is Anna.

Adopted December 13, 2014.

I’d love to be able to tell you a lot of fascinating stuff about my life before TALGV, but I guess that’s not going to happen because I was found wandering on Sahuarita Road. They do know that I’d been adopted from a shelter at one time, but after that, life’s a blank. The volunteers do say, however, that I’m very playful, good with kids and other dogs, love my wading pool (and playing in the mud!), and walk well on leash. So that’s actually quite a bit, isn’t it? I’m a pretty, brindle and white Boxer/Staffie mix lady and I’ll just bet that I could make your whole year if you took me home!

Hi… my name is Raisin,

Adopted January 1, 2016

When my family had to move to an apartment, the landlord said, “Absolutely NO cats”! Well, fie on him! He doesn’t know what he’s missing! I’m a darling, young, black and white girl who loved playing with “my” 4-year-old (Mom said, “Raisin plays with my wild son and will go looking for him”), “normal” cat toys, laser lights, and oh, well gee, just about anything!  As an added benefit, I’m not overly fond of wet food, so there’s no need for you to deal with stinky cat food cans either! I love being around people (I really don’t like being left alone all day), so I’m dreaming of another home where someone will be nearby a lot so I can relax and be the kind of cuddle bunny I was meant to be.
