Georgia

Hi… my name is Georgia.

Adopted February 14, 2015

Living with a foster family has many benefits, not the least of which is that people find out more about my personality in a “real world” setting! Here’s what they said: “Georgia is a wonderful, lovable dog and enjoys nothing more than a good belly rub. She is completely housebroken, crate-trained, knows “sit” and “down,” likes to ride in the car (AND the golf cart!), and loves people (especially kids!). She will make someone a wonderful pet. She’s intelligent, willing to please, and has a great personality. If you’re looking for a companion who’s loving and loyal, she’s the one for you!” That said, here are my “vitals”: I’m a 56-pound grey and white Staffie girl, so please let me show you the “warm and fuzzy” side of my breed!

Kaboodle

Hi… my name is Kaboodle.

Construction dumpsters are good for lots of things — even offering a place for a lost or abandoned cat to hide from the elements (and other scary and dangerous things out in the desert!). The man who found me tried to find my owners by putting out signs and posting on Craig’s List, but no one responded, so here I am. He said I “seemed very friendly” (well, you can see for yourself now!), and allowed as how I ate really well (I was HUNGRY!), and that’s pretty much all anyone can tell you about me. Except, of course, that I’m a charming tabby and white boy, and I’m going to be one happy camper when I get to move in to a safe, loving home of my own. I’ll show you that by making me part of your life, you’ll be getting the “whole kit and caboodle!”

Starlight

Hi… my name is Starlight.

Adopted January 4, 2014

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My write up is under construction. Age is estimated. Please check back soon to see my story.

Sashi

Hi… my name is Sashi.

Adopted October 31, 2014.

Sashi has earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.

Since I arrived last year, the volunteers have learned a lot about me, and I’m now especially proud to announce that I’ve earned my AKC “Canine Good Citizen” certificate (you can check all the things that qualified me for that on the Internet — just Google it!). They also say, “Sashi is a gentle girl with spurts of energy, and loves running outside in a fenced enclosure. She needs plenty of regular exercise and would love an energetic family. She loves chew toys, tends to be docile, is attentive to children and loves to play with them (but sometimes prefers just being a couch potato!). I’m a 3-year-old, 47-pound tan and white Whippet/Staffie mix and I know with love, patience, and encouragement I’ll be a model friend and one of the best things in your life!

Balthazar

Hi… my name is Balthazar.

They called Frank Sinatra “old blue eyes,” but I certainly qualify for that nickname too (well, not the “old” part!). A really nice man in Sahuarita found me crying outside his garage and as soon as he opened the house door in I scooted. He was going away for the holidays the next day so couldn’t keep me. (I guess that, plus the fact that he had nine dogs — who didn’t faze me one bit — meant that his home was not meant to be mine.) While he had me though, he said that I was super friendly and “seemed like I belonged to someone,” but since no one has come looking for me, I’m now available to YOU! I’m a handsome, gentle, mostly white Siamese mix young fellow with a hint of orange tabby thrown in for good measure, and I’ve got lots of time to show you how right he was!

Roscoe

Hi… my name is Roscoe.

I was only here at TALGV for a few days after I was found when a couple adopted me as a holiday present to each other. Sadly, I turned out to be “too rambunctious” for my disabled mom, so after just a few days, I came back. Although they think I’m about 2 years old, I’m still very puppyish and love playing with practically anything just to be active. While I was in their home, my adopters said that I was “good with everybody,” slept all night, ate well, and was a sweet guy — just too much for them to handle. I’m an endearing Chihuahua mix boy who does need some lessons in house manners (and basic obedience, I guess), but after you’ve invested a bit of time in that, I know that I’ll be your constant companion. What do you say — let’s try to work something out so that we’ll both be happy!

Sasha

Hi… my name is Sasha.

I was adopted June 11, 2014.

I was found in October in the desert by my “mom’s” co-workers and since none of them could keep me, she took me home. She had every intention of keeping me forever, but she had to move to a new place that didn’t allow pets. She said I’m really a sweet girl who loved to play in the water with her kids (although as a puppy, sometimes I got a little rambunctious, but a firm “no” got me to stop right away). I’m “mostly” potty trained (I need a little extra outing at night), and I know that with a little education, I’ll have all my ABCs down pat. I’m a charming young tan and white Staffie and Boxer mix girl (my “learning skills” are getting swifter by the day!), and I’ve got high hopes I’ll get to spend the New Year admiring the view from my new home and yard!

Charlie Chaplin

Hi… my name is Charlie Chaplin.

I guess there won’t be anyone out there wondering how I got my name! My “moustache” is unmistakable, and it just adds that extra “something” that makes me so distinctive. My people adopted me from a shelter and had me for three months, but as they said, “Our household is quiet, which was too boring for Charlie. He needs more stimulation than we could provide.” They said that I was very boisterous and energetic, but played a bit too rough with their older, timid cat (they thought I’d really like a younger, more lively playmate, so that’s what I’m looking for). I’m a shorthaired black and white boy who is exceptionally playful, curious and eager to explore my surroundings. I might even do well with a dog that liked cats (they are a bit more into “interactive” play than a lot of felines!), so if that sounds like your household, I’d probably fit in just fine!

Figuero

Hi… my name is Figuero.

I’ve been around the block a few times for a teenager as my most recent mom got me from a friend who couldn’t keep me, and then she decided she couldn’t either, so “presto-chango” one more move and here I am! I utterly adore having my ears scratched (I can do all sorts of contortions so that you reach just the right spot!), and although I was allowed outside for a few months, I know life is a lot safer indoors for felines here in the desert, so I’ll be happy to keep you company there for the rest of my life. I’m a young “tuxedo” boy who is going to give your life a whole new meaning when we get together!

Katy Joe

Hi… my name is Katy Joe,

Adopted 7-28-18

You know that saying, “You can never be too rich or too thin”? Well, I wouldn’t know about the “rich” part, but when I first arrived at TALGV over a year ago, I really WAS too thin, but in my time here, I’ve managed to put weight on my bones and now I’m a “perfect 10”! After I was here for a while, I was adopted by a couple that had two dogs and two cats, but in just a few months, it became clear that I really wanted to be the only one to rule the roost, so I’m back again in all my shining glory, looking for a place where I can do just that. I’m a lovely, young, pure white girl with spellbinding golden eyes, and although my early life is a mystery, with humans, I’m a sociable, curious little thing who will undoubtedly bring tons of joy to my new family.

Sweetie Pie

Hi… my name is Sweetie Pie.

Adopted April 12, 2015.

If they could have found a better name for me, I don’t know what it would have been! The wonderful lady who found me said, “She’s a super sweet dog who loves to kiss and will make a GREAT PET — I wish I could keep her!” She found me running along Continental Road near the Performing Arts Center and only had me a short time, but said I got along well with her Westie, knew “sit and stay,” and was a very grateful girl to have gotten out of the road. I’m a beautiful grey and white Staffie who is about 3½ years old, and although I had a lot of irritation on my feet when I arrived (probably from walking in the desert) and a few other things that needed attention, the volunteers here will see that I’m all fixed up and ready to move on in no time. Why not visit and see for yourself?

Hi… my name is Lila.

I was adopted May 19, 2014.

My “probably” sister, Leala, and I glommed on to a house in Sahuarita Heights at the end of September, and after the owner fed us for a few weeks and no one showed up looking for us, he brought us here to TALGV. He might have kept us forever, but he already had two other dogs (along with horses, which we never bothered!), so he figured he had a full complement of “dependents.” I’m a lovely young 50 pound Australian heeler mix girl. The volunteers said that I walk “pretty well” on a leash, am friendly with people, seem okay with other dogs (I’ve really bonded with Leala, so it would be great if we could go to a home together!), and am a very sociable girl. I’m “double-dog sure” that with just a bit of education I’ll be a grand addition to your life!
