• “Afghan hound — looking for fully fenced and minimally weed-filled sniff spots. Long coats are no joke“

  — Fara A.

• “Tala is a very chill dog and loves to snuggle! She also loves meeting other dogs and always wants to play!“

  — Kristen D.

• “I am a happy and gentle big teddy bear of a dog with a lot of black and white fur. I love everyone!“

  — Laurie W.

• “I am Tala, I don’t like other people or dogs but need to get some space to run as I am getting pudgy.“

  — Robert B.

• “I love to sniff and explore. Will chase/bark at squirrels and rabbits. I love people. Friendly to other dogs but prefer to do my own thing.“

  — Brooke B.

• “Reserved, timid shepherd mix. Takes a little while to get used to you. But will eventually come out of her shell and say hi. Her bark is very loud and sounds mean but she’s just scared“

  — Terri H.

• “Tala is 18 months old and learning what it's like to be in a home where she is loved and can be herself. She's extremely smart and sweet but doesn't mix well with new dogs and is slow to warm to people.“

  — Kirstin B.

• “High energy but friendly and kind. I am a favorite at daycare with other dogs. I can be intimidating because of my size but play well with others and people of all sizes.. I compete in dock diving, Nosework and Fast Cat. Also fundamentals in agility“

  — Donna G.

• “Hi I’m Tala, but some people call me Megan Fox bc I look like her. I have boyfriends in every block but my pawrents don’t know about them. I’m crazy but a lover. I love to bully my older brother Toby and steal his pets. I’m a sweet girl with a big heart, but I will also book it if I see a squirrel. I’m a lil spicy latina golden retriever girl.“

  — Jash P.

• “I love to explore and run, I'm fiercely independent and like to test the boundaries so I need a very safe space with no holes in the fences to squeeze through or under.. because I will! I absolutely love water so if you have a pond or pool I will be jumping in.. many times! I'm a friendly dog but have been in some scary situations so I am very defensive when other dogs get physical with their play style or try to mount me, so I would prefer exploring on my own! I like people who are nice to me but am usually indifferent to strangers when I'm exploring ..unless there is food involved 🦊“

  — jazmine k.

• “Hi friend, my name is Tala, and I’m what my mom calls a “ball of chaos”. I’m a Belgian Malinios/German Shepard mix and will turn two in January—which explains the chaos. My mom and dad brought me home on St. Patrick’s Day from the shelter. The caretakers said I was the sweetest girl but very shut down. Since then, I’ve come out of my shell and let my thoughts be know—especially about other people and dogs. I didn’t get to meet a lot of them before and now I try to make myself look scary, but once we’re friends, you’ll never be able to get rid of me! I’d really love to run around your yard and do some exploring. I’m also the best squirrel guard there ever was! I can’t wait to play!“
