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##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please review our Adoption Process before filling out an application.  If you would like to try a Foster to Adopt trial, please fill out an Adoption Application.  If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application.   Meet Debby!If you are looking for a toy terrier this little gal is your type! She is such a cutie. She fits your 'small but mighty' personality. Debby is wonderful with humans, dogs and cats. She is a pro at kennel trained and for being a xs breed she is not a barky dog. Like all terriers she loves toys and she probably has feline tendencies trying to play with all the cat toys, feather wands, etc Currently housed at casa de arwob which means she is fostered with multiple dogs of all sizes and cats. She does well during car rides but has not been taken on frequent walks which means she still needs to learn a little more about leash walking and we are using the harness for now. She doesn't seem to have leash reactivity and under 10lbs and already full grown she is best paired for someone who understans if she wehre to be a dog park kinda gal she should stay on the small dog parks only to keep her safe. She is also small but needs a home who will keep her active as she enjoys playing especially with her friends dogs, cats and humans alike. Debby was rescued off the streets of baja and as a super mutt we can only choose her breed by her looks, should she have a DNA test we don't know what she will be, could be a chihuahua poodle or some small breed. We can say she is healthy and fully vetted and READY to find her forever family before the Holidays. We don't know if she is hypoallergenic and doesn't shed much. To meet his girl please submit a dog adoption applicaiton online at ARWOB.org we will text or email to schedule a call to process your application thank youVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application.

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
