Hi… my name is Chloe.

I was adopted on April 12, 2014.

After my senior mom’s husband died, her kids kindheartedly gave me to her for company. I began life with her as a fairly small puppy, but, as these things go, I quickly developed into an 18-month-old, high-spirited teenager, got a lot bigger (well only 30 pounds!), and became “too much” for her. She taught me lots of commands though, and being an Australian cattle dog, it took no time at all to learn them, so for you people out there who think my breed is just the best there is (I certainly think so!), I promise that I’m going to be the dog of your dreams. I love people, am GREAT with kids, well behaved, and am a happy-go-lucky gal who wants to share all the joie de vivre I have with you!

Hi… my name is Hazel.

Adopted January 14, 2015.

When you learn that I was left to fend for myself when I was a puppy over three years ago, and that compassionate neighbors fed me ever since, I hope you’ll understand my current shyness (although they say I’m coming out of my shell more each day). My “caretakers” did say that during their interaction with me, I got along with kids and wasn’t at all aggressive — I’m just unsure of humans right now. I’ve learned to walk nicely on leash and enjoy the company of other dogs, so I’m sure that the time the volunteers are spending with me will be rewarded when I come out of my shell and turn into the wonderful companion I was meant to be. I’m a shepherd mix lady who just needs patience and love.

Hi… my name is Cypress.

I was adopted on April 24, 2014.

You may have read the story in the Green Valley News about how my family and I were found in the pecan groves. Well, my mom, Willow, her current litter of puppies, and I are all here safe and sound now, and of course with all the notoriety (and their cuteness!), the puppies are going like wildfire, but since I’m a bit older (about a year), I’m not getting quite as much attention from visitors. As the volunteers said, I pretty much didn’t know what happened to me, but they’ve made it their mission to teach me all the things that we canines are supposed to have “under our belts.” I’m a handsome Catahoula Leopard dog mix boy who now knows what it’s like to get “three squares” a day and lots of love, so everyone’s certain that it won’t take long for me to find out that a loving home with a real family is in my future.

Hi… my name is Pee Wee.

Adopted May 5, 2014.

The people who adopted me recently had a TON of good things to say about me (you can read all about it at TALGV), but since I didn’t get along with their resident dog, they regretfully had to bring me back. But the bottom line is I’m a happy, active cream-colored Chihuahua boy who loves to play with toys, chew on bones, and, more than anything else, to sit in your lap and sleep with you. I know those all-important commands “sit, stay, and potty” (not all at once though!), have perfect leash manners, and love “big” people (I’ve never been around little kids), so all I need is a new person that I can shower my affection on and I’ll be “good to go.”

Arrived January 30, 2014
