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! Behavioral considerations: When encountering employees during his original transfer, Luca barked but kept his distance. In a couple of weeks, he was already soliciting attention and acting completely normal. Due to how Luca expresses fear of meeting new people, particularly men (a general fear of men over women is quite common in many dogs), an experienced adopter will bring out the best in him. With the assistance of our trainer, we will be working with him on leash training as he currently freezes up entirely once a lead is placed around his neck. For now, our trainer has gained his trust and was able to cuddle with him. We do not know what he experienced in his life that made him feel intensely unsafe around strangers, but we are helping our boy out the best we can. In a home and secure backyard setting, he will follow you around wherever you go! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Story

Meet Goose! This goofy goober transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society! Goose was previously adopted from SDHS and returned days later after his owners realized they had no time to care for a young and active pup. Goose is an extremely goofy, bouncy, and energetic ball of love! He is having the time of his life with his new pals and loves being a part of the pack! His quirky, left-sided head tilt adds character to his already silly self! Health considerations: Goose had a right cryptorchid (retained testicle) that was removed without incident and is resolved. He displays a left-sided head tilt which does not affect his balance or quality of life. Due to this history, our vet thinks he was born with congenital birth defects. Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Story

Meet the most fabulous tripod! Hello there! My name is Matilda, and I'm a resilient 3-year-old, 14-pound spayed female terrier mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that can't be held back. I may be a tripod, but trust me, I've got more love and zest for life than you can imagine. I had a rough start, found in TJ walking on my hind legs due to unbearable pain in my front legs. Thanks to the care and love of my rescuers, I'm now on the road to recovery. I have a bone fungal infection that requires ongoing medical attention, and I visit the Vet Specialist regularly. Don't worry, it's not contagious, and I'm on top of my medications – Terbinafine ~$15.00 for a month's supply, Voriconazole ~$115.00 for 1 month supply, depending on market value and where purchased. Dasuquin to support joint mobility ~$41.00 for 3 months supply depending on market value and where purchased-- all to keep me happy, healthy, and moving. I am fully bathroom and leash trained. Now, let me tell you a bit about my wonderful personality. I am dog that loves people, and does not love other dogs or cats. I want to be the shining star! I'm what they call a Velcro dog – I'll follow you everywhere, matching your energy whether you're in the mood for play or relaxation. I do have some anxieties, especially around new people and animals, so patience is key. Loud trucks and pushy pets aren't my favorite, and I prefer to have my humans' love all to myself. Despite my initial reservations, once I know you, I'm the ultimate companion, ready to be by your side 24/7. I'm pretty easygoing, enjoying lounging on the couch, basking in the sun, and playing with my toys by myself. I'd thrive in a quiet home with my own space, as an only dog. In essence, I'm a gem of a dog, and I'm looking for a loving family to share my life with. If you're ready for a dog who will shower you with love and bring endless joy into your home, please consider giving me a chance. I promise, you won't regret it! If you work from home, that's even better – I need a potty break every 4ish hours. I'm okay being alone for about 4 hours, either crated or uncrated, but I do like to get my morning zoomies out and play with my stuffed animals. I should be in a home with children 10 years and older only. If you're interested in making me a part of your family, please reach out right away! My adoption fee is $350 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/ Follow me on IG @tapinwithMatilda ##1765244##

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##

How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by a community member on December 27, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Jonathan, a curious and energetic pup looking for a loving new home! Jonathan can be a bit shy with new faces and places, and will need a patient and gentle adopter who can allow him to open up at his own pace. He's the kind of dog who likes to explore his surroundings, sniffing out every nook and cranny. Jonathan thrives in a calm and stable environment, where his curiosity can be nurtured and his shyness can gently fade away. Jonathan may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he's a loyal companion for life. Adopting Jonathan means giving him the chance to show his true colors, to love and be loved in return. Come speak to an adoption counselor to learn more about him today! At SDHS:Jonathan is a Behavior Center Graduate! This means they've been working closely with our trainers to develop skills through behavior modification to be successful, though they may need a little extra care to continue their amazing progress. We're excited to share with you what they've learned and talk through how to help them get comfortable in this next chapter of their life!
