Story
Meet Morgan! A RARE ALL-SPORT PUP. She is a 1.5 year old Bully breed mix, but we refer to her as a Malinois in a Bully body! She is an INCREDIBLY energetic and fun-loving pup. She absolutely LOVES to learn and work and will make a perfect sporting dog or adventure pal. She especially gets along best with male dogs. Morgan requires a home that will offer her a job, she truly NEEDS a job. She was surrendered because the family who got her as a puppy was not prepared for the working dog they got! We sent her to CRT K9 to undergo training and she is ready for adoption! They've tested her for search/rescue work, as well as climbing work, jump work, and running. She passes every qualification test with flying colors! She thrives in everything. We've never seen a pup so capable of so much... except sitting still We are open to adopting her to a home who will give her a full time job, or even a program where she'll be offered the chance to help people (search work, police work, etc). She'll do best in a home without small animals (her prey drive is what makes her so great at sporting!), or other female dogs. Ask us for more info on her and adoption fees!October 2, 2023, 3:17 pm

Story
What a sweetheart! Hi guys! I am Corbin, a 3 year old, neutered male Boxer mix, and I weigh about a 55 lbs. Trust me, I am still a lap dog and a cuddle bug. I was rescued by TAP to come to an amazing foster home and find my furever family. While I wait, I have made sure to master bathroom and leash training.  My recall has improved and I have learned to sit (this is major!). I am not a fan of the crate. I don't cry or have anxiety, but when I am left alone and my family comes back, I have magicked out of it! am a very friendly boy and like other dogs, as long as it's a slow and structured introduction. I get a kick out of playing chase with my foster sis. But I actually am pretty calm otherwise. I like kiddos too, and I am good at ignoring kitties. I am a huggable bear and enjoy cuddle sessions very much! I do have a pack mentality and will defend my family. Hence, slow intros are so important with other dogs. I have lived with dogs, and I have been fine as I consider them family. I would need my fence to be secured and tall, as I have jumped out before. At home, I am low energy and easygoing. My family claims that I am the easiest dog ever! I will fit in any home as I am calm and sweet. All I need are hugs, do best with someone who knows how to read him and be gentle with him, but is also firm on discipline. IF you think we will be awesome, let's set up a date. 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   ##1346136##

Take a Chance on me!  Hi, friends! My name is Chance. I’m sweet, easy-going, and there’s a 100% chance you will fall in love with me! I’m a 4-year-old, 40-pound Terrier mix. I’m already spayed, got my teeth done and I’m a happy, healthy girl. I was recently rescued from TJ and I’m oh-so happy The Animal Pad took a chance on me. I’ll keep my paws crossed that my luck continues in a furever home with you!  I’m a friendly gal who loves my furry foster sibling. I like all humans right off the bat and don’t have a mean bone in my body. I should not be in a home with cats! I have cute bursts of energy in the morning and love getting in a bit of playtime. The rest of the day, I can be found snoozing in the sun or relaxing by your side. I’m the pawfect balance of playful and mellow energy.  I’m a very good girl who is trained in all departments. I do well in the house and on the leash. I could afford to lose a few lbs, but can you blame me? I sleep soundly in my crate throughout the night and I don’t have any separation anxiety. Not to brag, but I’m pretty pawesome!  Since I’m such an even-keeled girlie, I’d do well in almost any loving home. I’m happy being a solo pooch, but also enjoy playing with a friend! I’m small and calm, so I don’t need a huge yard (although I wouldn’t complain!). I’m easy to please and even easier to love. Don’t leave it up to chance… let’s meet today! 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/ ##1698886##

Story
DOB: August 2015Weight: 80lbsTemperament: Easy-going, Happy, FriendlyFrom: Handsome Oslo came to us from a shelter in Moreno Valley, CA. He had many ticks and fly strike when found, and had probably been an outdoor dog. Oslo has captured the hearts of volunteers with his sweet temperament. He gets along well with other medium-large dogs in his play group. If adopted into a home with another dog, he needs leadership and guidance to be the best version of himself. Oslo is housebroken and is great with people!Best Attribute: He's the chillest boy this side of the Mississippi.Area of opportunity: He can be protective of his home if he believes it to be his responsibility and thus needs a solid leader to set the boundaries.If you're a sucker for a dog with a big head and equally big heart, apply to meet him today at www.thebarkinglot.net/adopt!To initiate the adoption process for this dog, please complete our online application by clicking below. Your adoption coordinator will respod to you via email once they receive your application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adopt

Story
6yr old Bridget lingered at the Imperial County Shelter for 5 months and after a few short days in a loving foster home, she has proven to be all her Boxer breed has to offer. Playful, Respectful, completely housetrained, joyful and fun to be around. She loves the companionship of some other dogs, as well as enjoying toys, she knows the difference between a shoe that is not hers to chew and a toy that she clearly will chew. Bridget can go from calm, chill to ""let's go for a walk"" in an instant. She rides well in a car, she loves the outdoors and her walks, she is a zig zagger on walks so we are going to work on that, but all in all, this girl is well behaved, respects boundaries and is a diamond in the ruff of the rough. Keep an eye out on this lovely girl, she is ready to join your family and bring you endless joy for many years to come.
