About Talty

Talty's journey hasn't been easy. Abandoned in the countryside, he faced months of survival on his own, struggling day by day as he roamed a large pasture and crossed busy roads in search of safety. His friend was picked up last December, leaving him behind, but in February, everything changed for this brave boy when we were finally able to rescue him. Now, after all he's been through, Talty has shown remarkable resilience. He is a sweet, friendly dog who loves attention and is eager to find a family to call his own. Talty is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations, including Bordetella. He has tested heartworm negative and is on preventative. Talty gets along well with other dogs and adores being around people. After surviving fear and loneliness, he deserves a loving home where he'll always feel safe. He's ready to embark on a new chapter—one filled with love and happiness. Whether you're considering fostering, fostering to adopt, or providing a forever home, Talty is the perfect companion for anyone looking to bring a loving pet into their lives.
