Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Chive! Chive is a 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix weighing just 10 pounds with an adorable white and tan coat. This little guy walks nicely on a leash and enjoys getting out for strolls. Chive can be a bit shy when meeting new people and appreciates a little warm-up time to feel comfortable, but once he does, his sweet personality shines through. Because of his small size and gentle nature, he would do best in a quieter home where he can feel safe and relaxed.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 15, 2026, 9:15 pm

Story
Meet Luca! This baby-faced boy transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society. When Luca first arrived, he was scared, wanted nothing to do with the staff, and would follow us when we turned around only to run away the second we turned to face him. It wasn't long before he warmed up to us, and now he is glued to our sides asking for attention and giving endless kisses! Whenever Luca is not preoccupied with playing amongst his friends or roaming across the play yard, he's hopping around us and asking for our full attention! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Story
It will be all oh-kai! Hi there! My name is Kai, and I’m a 4-year-old, 43-pound spayed Terrier mix. I was scooped up in Rosario, Mexico, where I was found underweight and living on the streets. I’ve come a long way since then and am ready to find my furever home! I’m a total sweetheart once you’ve earned my trust. I’ll then be your best friend and will be excited every time we see each other! I’m a high-energy gal, and I enjoy being your running buddy on runs through the neighborhood. My other favorite activities include chasing my Chuckit! ball, eating, playing tug-o-war, and sniffing for treats. I’m now fully potty-trained and crate-trained. Leash training is a work in progress, though, since I tend to pull a lot. My biggest challenge, however, is my stranger danger. I tend to become anxious and on high alert once I get outside of my comfort zone. No separation anxiety here, though, especially when I’m left behind with another doggie friend to play with. My ideal household would be a quieter home that had familiar people coming in and out. I’d love a nice backyard to play in, and I’d do just fine as either the only dog or with a well-rounded, confident doggie sibling. No kitties or children, please.  Other than that, a lot of patience and love will help me become my best self! My adoption fee is $250 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/.   ##1143469##

Story
Age: 3m Gender: Female Breed: Terrier Mix Weight: 6 Personality: Very rambunctious and active puppy who has a penchant to be mouthy in play or if overly excited. She has no separation anxiety! Friendliness: Dogs: Yes Cats: Unknown Kids: Tweens 9-17 Education: Crate trained; potty training in work. Favorite Activities: Playing with her foster sibling. Playing with her toys. Eating. Looking For: She would love a home with another dog and people who would continue her training to help her be the best girl and companion. A yard would be nice but not necessary, but she does need someone who can take her out for walks to help wear out her abundant energy. Special Needs: No Adoption Fee: $500 ##2690454##
