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##

Hi!! my name is Peluzza - :) I am 12 months old female Border Terrier Miniature Schnauzer blend. I have reached my growth and I am about 15 to 18 pounds. I have cute wired hair and kind of soft as well. I don't need grooming; I look pretty the way I am. I love kids, other dogs and cats:) I love to play tag-of-war, and give you lots of kisses - I am a very happy puppy. I am Leashed trained and loves to go for walks. I behave very well when I ride in the car and I am crate trained:) and I am not a barker. Don't wait more and take me home:) As with all rescued fur kids; she is going to need basic training, love reinforcement; as you know they all come from a tough beginning on their lives and the art of adopting a rescued creature is to bring them to be the best they can be with love and patience. Their donation adoption fee includes being spayed/neutered, DHLPP core vaccines, dewormed, and a free health checkup through a local participating vet clinic. Ready to give them a forever home?
