Story
Little Jax (a.k.a. Otto) looks mostly like a Scottie/ Cairn Terrier/ Miniature Schnauzer blend with his funny fuzzy little face and scruffy wire coat. Jax (I also call him Otto – both names seem to fit him!) doesn’t shed so if you are allergic to dogs, he’s perfect for you. Jax is a darling 1 ½ year old doll face who is friendly, feisty, sweet, clever, and affectionate. He weighs only about 11 pounds fully grown, so you can carry him everywhere and he can travel with you on a plane easily in a carrier under the seat. Jax has been loved, healthy, and handled since he was born – he is wonderfully social and is perfect with both men and women and even children. He is gentle and quiet – in fact, I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard him bark. He’s also great with all the other dogs and kitties, and even with farm animals. Jax was raised in a loving home with a woman who had severe diabetes. This lovely woman cleaned my vet’s office at night and always took Jax with her – of course, since the woman worked in a vet office, Jax got the best vet care, so he’s definitely a healthy, happy, social little monkey. But then the saddest thing happened – Jax’s human mama died suddenly of diabetes which left Jax and two other little darlings, Coco Puff and Henry homeless. Of course, Jax is neutered and up to date on all of his shots. I have his medical records for his new forever family. He’s also house trained and crate trained, and loves to ride in the car. I am a firm believer is having potential adopters take a pup home for a “sleepover” to see how your family, your other pets, and your new best buddy all get along. You can always take little Jax home to see how he adapts, and we always take our rascals back if they aren’t a good fit. Please call 858-602-2061 or email findabesbuddy@gmail.com for more information about sweet little Jax and all of our other wonderful foster buddies!

Story
Gigi will be your best girlie! Hello, there! I’m Gigi– a little lady with a big heart, a dash of sass, and a deep love for my people. At 8 years young, I’m the ultimate companion. I’m a cute Cairn terrier (if I don’t say so myself) at a nice medium-sized, 45 pounds. I adore snuggling on the couch, sleeping in bed with my humans, going on sniff-filled strolls, and proudly carrying around my stuffed animals like tiny trophies. I found my way to TAP as a transfer from Pasadena Humane Society after the wildfires.  Since then, I’ve settled in and learned what it means to be a carefree pup. I like other dogs, but I can be protective when it comes to sharing my favorite things (can you blame a girl for wanting to keep her treats and toys?). With patient guidance, I know I’ll get there! After all, I’m an extremely smart girl.  On leash, I am a little reactive and am working on being able to say hello to other pups.  Off-leash, though, I’m A-OK.  Other than that, I’m fully potty-trained and crate-trained, eager to please, and love being part of a family. I do have a bit of general anxiety here and there but am currently taking CBD to help manage it. I’d love an active home where I can be your devoted little shadow – someone who understands that I thrive with a routine, plenty of walks and activity, and lots of love. I’m the pawfect balance of active energy and cute cuddles.  (I’ve even been told that I have the energy and spunk of a dog half my age!) Due to my resource guarding, I’d be best as your solo sweetheart or with a mellow, submissive pooch so that I can be the Alpha.  I’ve already grown so much with my foster fam and know that I will continue to blossom with love and patience. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky girl who’s ready to find her furever, I just might be the perfect fit. Come meet me—I’ll be the one wagging my tail, waiting for you! 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/   ##2276552##

Story
Meet Misu — a 36-pound sweetheart with a heart ready to heal. After her beloved owner passed away, Misu found herself at a vet hospital, where our rescue was contacted to give her a second chance. She’s slowly learning that the world can be a safe, happy place and that meeting new people can be a wonderful thing. Misu is gentle and loving, and while she hasn’t had much experience with small children, she would do well with older, considerate kids who can respect her space. For now, she’d prefer to be the only dog in the home — she had a tough experience where another dog bit her, so she’s still building her confidence around other pups. She’s currently getting training to help her feel safe and comfortable again. Her perfect family will be patient, kind, and ready to show her that love is always worth trusting again. Could you be the happy ending Misu is waiting for?October 30, 2025, 2:15 am

Cairn Terrier Standard Schnauzer

Story
ATTENTION:  All of our dogs are in private foster homes.  We do NOT have a kennel with multiple dogs.  If you find a dog you want to meet in person, please go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and complete an application.    We will make every attempt to process all applications within 3 business days of receipt. // // Meet Bow!  Bow is a one year old, 14 pound Schnauzer/Cairn Terrier mix. Bow is an energetic youngster who loves to run around and play with chew toys. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night and does very well being left at home for an hour or two in his crate with no barking. He is mostly potty trained, having had just a few accidents at his foster home. He does great with the two resident dogs at his foster home and responds to their cues very well. He walks pretty well on a leash. He is very fearful of strangers—both humans and dogs—when on walks. He barks aggressively, and though he does not bite, he does lunge and nip at people's ankles or clothing. After a few minutes of being around someone new he calms down and is fine. It's only been a week since he's been out of the shelter and he is showing signs of improvement. He will need training to work on this behavior. He would do best in a household with lots of opportunity for exercise and play each day. He is microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. His adoption fee is $300. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs,   vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to  www.secondchancedogrescue.org  and complete an application today!    All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.  December 12, 2025, 3:42 pm
