Emma

Hi… my name is Emma,

Adopted 3-14-17

There are distinctive looks, and then there are “whoa, where did she get those markings” looks! And as they say on late-night TV ads, “but wait, there’s more!” – all this beauty isn’t just skin deep! My mom had me all of my six years of life, so all this upheaval has been pretty discombobulating for me, but through it all, everyone agrees that because of my inherently loving personality, I’ll make the adjustment to a new home in no time. My mom’s friend said, “Emma is super friendly and affectionate, never bites or scratches people [well, I am declawed!], and needs to be near you – on your lap or by your side.” I just know life will be rosier for you and me both when we spend it together!

Alex

Hi… my name is Alex,

Adopted 4-24-17

When my original owner died, his mom took me in for a while, but she already has three dogs and so I need a home of my own. I’m an active 8-year-old Rottweiler mix female, a beauty in black and tan, and I’d love to hike and play with you. Best of all, I want to be your devoted companion—a part of the family. My owner’s mom said I get along well with kids and cats, I’m housebroken, and know lots of commands—including sit, stay, off, no, come, and go to bed. In other words, I’m old enough to know a lot already, but still lively and eager to have fun. I’ll fit smoothly into your home and, I hope, your heart. Will you give me a chance to be yours today?

Rickie

Hi… my name is Rickie,

Adopted 3-15-17

Since my puppy brothers were adopted, I’ve learned people can be fun, too! A volunteer even took me home for a visit and here’s what she discovered: I really like her two big female dogs and respond correctly to their “coaching,” have a good appetite, adorable personality, a little mouthy (maybe missing roughhousing with my brothers), settle quickly in my crate in the car, my leash skills are improving with every outing, and—here’s something to make you proud—I went potty whenever given the chance to go outside, so housetraining should go well. I’m a growing, 2-month-old Shepherd mix male with a smooth tan coat. Sometimes I’m timid, but when we meet and like each other—which I hope is soon—I’ll be the happy, easy-to-love puppy who’ll love you back forever!

Pluto

Hi… my name is Pluto,

Adopted 1-5-18

When I arrived here, I just sat by myself, sad and lonely. Then, after a few days, I realized things might be okay for me. I started going for walks, playing “find it” for treats (love that game!), and making new friends. As a rule, I’m cautious with new people (might growl when they approach); but my former family reported that I could be “loving with people I know.” For fun, I enjoy nice long walks and playing fetch, plus I’m good in the car and housetrained. I’m a smart 2-year-old black Lab mix male, 90+ pounds (did I mention the treat game?), and once we get to know each other, I’m a good and loving companion. My suggestion? We should get acquainted real soon because we could be happy together for a long time!

Pearl

Hi… my name is Pearl,

Adopted 3-10-17

I was found near a local self-storage unit. Why there? Could be I just wandered that far. In any event, I was lost, but, fortunately for me, easy to find. At 83 pounds, I’m hard to miss—big and amazingly gentle. Maybe you’ve known other dogs like me—large-size sweethearts! For me, that means I can stay calm in a commotion, greet visitors sweetly, and if you’d rather mosey than race, that’s okay with me. On the other hand, I’m still young—just 2 years old—so I also love to play and have fun. I’m black and tan, with one of the friendliest faces you could ever hope to see. So won’t you come for a visit? And if we find each other irresistible, I’m ready to be your big gentle dog forever!

Oliver

Hi… my name is Oliver,

Adopted 3-20-17

On a cold and rainy day, my finders discovered me at their front door. Although they couldn’t keep me—they already have 2 dogs and 6 cats—we became acquainted and, wow, did they have good things to say about me! “Very adaptable, quick learner, affectionate, loves humans, fine with cats and dogs (actually somewhat intimidated by cats), wants to play and run.” Asked what a potential adopter should know, they said that I “will be a wonderful companion, especially for an active person/family.” And you know what? The caregivers here feel exactly the same way! They add that I’m shy, very sweet, and handsome—a black and white 1-year-old male—and I’m grateful for all those kind words. Best of all, I believe someone wonderful will soon say to me: Let’s go home!

Travis

Hi… my name is Travis,

Adopted 5-21-17

When my brothers and I arrived here at TALGV (which was because there were simply too many dogs where we were born), we apparently resembled cowboys because we were given country western names. These days, the others have been adopted and so I’m going solo, letting my own charming personality shine through and thoroughly enjoying the company of my people friends. We play together, exercise, and cuddle a lot; I’m an attentive, smart little guy, a handsome Heeler/Staffie mix male with a sleek black and white coat. At 5 months I was 20 pounds; a little older now and still growing, I already have a full-grown dream that you can make come true: To go home with you and become the dog you’ll love and be happy with for a long time to come.
