Story
Cutest tushi in town! Hi guys! My name is Tushi and I am a 3 years old, female spayed Chihuahua mix. I am a smallie 18 lbs. I was rescued from Antelope Valley CA from another rescue group who couldnt meet my medical needs. I have seen a ruff life and I am very touch sensitive. My foster family is working on gaining my trust and helping with touch and leash sensitivity. I am so glad that about their understanding and patience, and hope to have a furever family as amazing as they are! I am a sweet girl and my mama says that I look like a furever pupper! I have a sassy sway to my walk and a calmness about me. Due to me being so sensitive, I have mostly focused on decompression. And my love, sunbathing! Even though they cant touch me yet, I do go and cuddle right next to them and give face kisses! I am good around calm dogs who know how to respect my space. Same goes for sweet kids and I am friendly around them. I am not experienced around cats. I would love a sweet and patient family who will adore me! I would appreciate decompression time and will reward you with the most grateful kind of life. I will do well with mellow dogs and a nice yard since I dont go out on the leash. If you think we will be soulmates, let's meet! My adoption fee is $150 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/ ##2259492##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Franklin is a beagle–chihuahua mix, which means he’s got the curiosity of a beagle and the sass of a chihuahua—all packed into one lovable little goofball. He’s friendly, cuddly, obsessed with people, and gets along great with other dogs. Franklin came to the rescue from a high-kill shelter with his buddy Felix (they don’t need to be adopted together, but he’s always down for a dog pal). His hobbies include snuggling like a pro, making new friends everywhere he goes, and generally being impossible not to love. Franklin is ready to wiggle his way into your heart and your home. Franklin's adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, and a microchip  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 7, 2026, 1:24 am

Story
How this pet arrived:Papa was brought in by a community member. Why this pet is the one for you:This handsome pup is Papa! Papa is a bashful boy who will need to find a home that is committed to helping him build his confidence. Papa's next human should have experience with positive reinforcement training, a calm and quiet house with a securely enclosed yard, and unlimited amounts of patience and understanding. This might sound like a tall order but Papa will thrive in an environment where he can adjust at his own pace and his boundaries are respected. Papa's new human(s) should be prepared to give him the time he truly needs to come out of his shell and show his personality. Papa has lived with doggie friends before. Are you ready to give Papa all the tasty treats and love he deserves? Come by our San Diego campus and meet him today! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 15.44 Age: 3yrs 0mths 1wks
