Story
Meet Oliva! This naughty little 15-pounder will steal your heart in an instant, with her infinite energy and small size she gives tenderness, in addition to being very obedient and intelligent. She was found abandoned on the beach, malnourished, full of parasites and sand, she is currently healthy and ready for her new home, it would be ideal for her to grow up in a house with children, since she has too much energy and the ideal is for her to always have someone to play her. Look at those beautiful eyes! She gets along well with cats, other dogs, children and adults, she knows how to sit, wait for her food and walk on a leash, she won't grow much, and she learns very quickly. She is small, she won't grow up more. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets).

Story
A total love bug! Hi, I’m Hal! I’m a 5-year-old neutered male Terrier mix, and I weigh 30 pounds.  I was rescued from Ellos Son La Razon in Mexico, and I’m excited to have this second chance at life!  My health is in tip-top shape, and I am potty-trained and leash-trained.  Even though I absolutely love chewing up my toys, I promise that I am not destructive to anything else around the house.   My foster parents tell me I’m a super chill boy and a total love bug! I have an easy-going and mellow demeanor, and I don’t require a lot of activity.  Two 20-minute walks a day, and I’m good to go!  My favorite activities include chasing lizards, taking naps, getting my ears rubbed, and being near my people. As far as other doggies are concerned, I’m not too friendly with them and would rather be on my own.  Kitties and kiddos are a “maybe” since I’ve never been around them before.  I’m not much of a barker, and I don’t have any symptoms of separation anxiety.  In fact, I go easily into my crate at night and when my humans are out for errands during the day.  Easy peasy! My ideal household would be an easy-going one, with no other doggie siblings.  Given my personality, I think I’d be a great fit to either someone who works from home or a retired person looking for companionship. Do we sound like a match? If so, my adoption fee is $300 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/. ##1787520##

Flotsam

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, Young
San Diego, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Age: 2 years Gender: Female Breed: Terrier Mix Weight: 20 lbs Personality: This little girlie is bundles of fun! She has plenty of playful energy and never says no to an adventure. She likes to go to cafes and restaurants and just sit with her person, after being comfortable with them. She gets along well with other dogs and tends to match their energy. She lives with two very bossy and dominant cats, and does great with them! Flotsam was rescued from the terrifying “shopping cart” situation in Tijuana, which left her nervous and reactive around sudden movements. For this reason, she probably wouldn’t be best with young kids. She is also hesitant around new people and may take time trusting. She needs someone who will respect her boundaries, let her have decompression time and let her initiate interaction when she wants. Once she does, she is affectionate and loving! Education: She is both house and leash trained and quite smart. Flotsam is fine when left alone as long as she gets a nice long morning and evening walk. She is still working on building confidence with new people and in new situations. The more love she gets, the more comfortable she will be! Favorite Activities: Did someone say walk? Flotsam will never turn down a stroll and loves getting out to explore. She adores fetch and having toys around. She loves her people and can’t wait to find a furever family. Looking for: A loving family with enough boundary and patience for decompression time. This peppy pup would love an active home that enjoys playtime. She would do best without kids as she gains her confidence and works on not reacting to sudden movements. Once she settles in, she is a total sweetie who is easy to fall in love with! Adoption Fee: $ 400 ##1733869##
