Story
Gentle and easy-going! Grrrrr!! I’m Bear, and I’m a 10-year-old, 98-pound Labrador Retriever Mix looking for my furever home! I came to TAP after being abandoned by my past owners, sadly due to my older age.  I’m a gentle and easy-going boy who is already potty-trained, leash-trained, and neutered.  All you have to say is “potty time” or “let’s go” while on a leash, and I know exactly what to do.  My health is in pretty good shape, but I will need to be evaluated once I have an established vet.  Being the seasoned guy I am, I have slight vision impairment related to normal aging, and I use eye ointment for extra support.  This condition will not lead to blindness, but I may need eye repair surgery in the future.  I also take Cytopoint injections to help with my allergies.  I’m a gentle and introverted pup, who loves my humans.  I’m very smart and pick up easily on the schedule you set for me.  I can be energetic when you come home or when it’s time to go for a walk, but other than that, I’m pretty mellow and love my naps.  My favorite things (besides taking naps) are taking walks, chewing on thick teething bones, and occasionally, playing with balls.  While I don’t mind being around other doggies, I like having my alone time and need slow introductions so that I have time to warm up.  I am very gentle around kids of all ages, and I enjoy receiving love from them.  However, no climbing on me, please, and no sudden movements around me since I can’t see as well as I used to.  Due to my mellow nature, I’d like to be in a mellow home, as well.  However, I’ve done just fine in a busy household with my foster family, living with multiple doggies and constant foot traffic of family and friends who come visit.  I enjoy being in the mix, as well as having a safe area to retreat to when I want some alone time. Overall, I’m a great companion and am just looking for someone special to look past my age and give me a chance.  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/. ##1698906##

Story
Making it right for Left Eye!  Hello there! My name is Left Eye, and I'm a 2-year-old, neutered male Labrador mix, looking for my forever home. I weigh about 53 lbs. Since my rescue, I have been at my lovely foster home and learnt amazing manners. I am fully bathroom, crate and leash trained. Talk about a lovable smartie pants! I'm friendly, lovable, and have a lot of energy to share with my new family. I get along great with one of my fellow foster dog siblings, one more than the other. I need very slow introductions to other dogs and am working on my dog and leash reactivity. I will be starting my muzzle training to continue ot be the best boy! I will need a strong leader dedicated to maintaining my structure around new dogs and when meeting them. Cats intrigue me, and though I might bark at them from a distance when I'm in my crate, I'm quite curious and approach them with gentle sniffs when we meet face to face. I haven't met kids yet! I must admit, I can be a bit mouthy like a pupper, but I'm learning the ropes of good behavior. All I really want is love, affection, and a warm place to call home. I'm getting better at asking for attention the right way, and I'm eager to please. If you already have a dog or a cat at home, I'd be a fantastic companion for them after a slow, intentional period of introduction and acclimation to set us all up fpr success. I love going for walks and runs, so we can have loads of fun together outdoors. I'm also content to be an only pet. Whether it's just you and me or a home with other furry friends, I'm confident I'll fit right in. I promise to be loyal and loving, bringing joy and happiness to your life. My adoption fee is $450 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/ ##1765260##

Story
Meet your magical sidekick! ‘Ello there! My name is Ron. Just like Harry Potter’s loyal, loving bestie, I’m ready to be your sidekick. I’m a 3-year-old, 38-pound Labrador retriever mix. I was rescued from Azkaban… ahem, I mean the heartbreaking conditions of ESLR in Ensenada. It took more than a little magic to get me out and it’s going to take a bit more spellwork until I’m a fully healthy fella. I’m so excited to turn the page and find my furever family! I’m searching for a loving witch, wizard, or muggle who will foster to adopt me. I have Cerebellar Hypoplasia, Meningoencephalitis (currently under going chemo treatment to try and improve my condition), and a possible seizure disorder. Due to the CH, my hind legs are weak which impacts things such as commands requiring "sit" and jumping onto couches. I’m taking Phenobarbital (~$15.00 a month) and Prednisone (~$7.00 per month). I’m partially blind and do not get vaccines at this time, including oral flea/tick preventatives. Trust me, I know this sounds like a lot, but I pawmise that I’m an easy-going guy who just wants to be loved! I’ve gone through a lot in my little life and I’m so hopeful for a fresh start at Hogwarts… I mean, a home with you! When I’m not brushing up on my Quidditch skills or studying Herbology, you can find me chewing on squeaky toys or bones. I LOVE mealtime and do the cutest hop around the house. I also enjoy exploring around in circles and getting a lay of the land. I get along well with other dogs and currently have foster siblings. I have had a couple of incidents where I’ve nipped out of sheer excitement or for attention(non-aggressive, I swear!) This only happened when I was first in my foster home. Since then, my foster fam has been able to wipe my eyes, paws, and hand-feed me treats without any issues. I’m a well-behaved boy who benefits from a steady routine. I’m very good with my crate, bathroom, and leash training. I need frequent trips outside and may take a little time to acclimate to my new environment but practice makes pawfect! What I need is someone who will be my rock… my Sorcerer’s Stone, some might say. I would do best in a home that can provide me with routine and stability. I’m not necessarily the most affectionate or high-energy pooch, but I’m a great companion who is easy to be around. I have been through a lot and I’m a total trooper. I hope that I’ll charm you and that you can work your magic on me as well! I am a TAP MEDICAL DOG" available for Foster-to-Adopt. My adoption fee is $200 and that includes spaying/neutering and microchip.

Story
One big ham! Hi, pals! My name is Tyson, and I’m a 3-year-old neutered Lab Mix male, weighing in at 45 pounds.  I’ve come all the way from Tijuana to find my furever home. My foster mama says that I’m a huge cuddle bug! I love snuggling, sleeping on the couch, and going to town on my squeaky toys, bones, and chews.  I’m super dog-friendly and don’t seem to mind kitties (given the limited exposure I’ve had to them).  Kiddos seem to be A-OK, too, especially since I’m the not the aggressive type. As for my training, I’m fully crate trained and sleep in my crate at night.  Potty training is coming along great, and I’ve only had three accidents since I’ve been with my foster family.  Leash training, though, is a bit of a challenge.  Loud noises frighten me, so being outside can be pretty scary.  However, the more and more I get outside for walks, the less fearful I’ve become.  I think once I am fully acclimated to the outdoors, I’ll make a great little adventure buddy!  Other than that, I show very mild signs of separation anxiety and have done just fine when my parents are at work.  I’m also not much of a barker.  Because of my easy-going nature, I think I’d do well in most homes – especially with owners who’ve never had a dog before.  Doggie siblings would be great, as I seem to learn from them, but they’re not necessary.  A mellow or active household would suit me just fine – after all I like to go with the flow! 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/. ##1987846##

Story
A steaming cup of Mocha to make your day! Hi friends! I am Mocha, a chocolate Lab mix, about 2.5 years old, 65 lbs and recently spayed female. I was found tied to a tree in Chula Vista, pregnant, and had my litter in the safety of TAP foster home. My littles are off and it's time for mama bear to shine! I am fully bathroom, crate and leash trained. I am working on not being reactive on leash to other dogs and skateboards. I can stay in the crate at home by myself too. I have had a tough life and that's made me a bit shy. But once I open up, I am such a sweet girl full of heaps of sugar! I can be quite timid with strangers, but given the time to trust, I will make pals. I am incredibly cuddly like a steamin' mug and my intelligence has wowed people. With dogs, I am selective, and need to be introduced slowly. I can be reactive at first. I have lived with kids at previous fosters. For me ball is life! I love the beach, sand, and long walks. I would love a sweet and patient family that allows me plenty of time to decompress and trust. I pawmise that once I warm up, I am the sweetest dog ever. I would probably be best in an active home with daily walks and ball fetch sessions. If you ready to grab this cuppa, let's meet up for a cafe date! My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.

Macy is 10 years old and I bought her from a breeder when she was 5 weeks. She's a loving animal but my recent divorce has landed me in an apartment and her losing her backyard and her family. I work long hours and it's not fair for her to be locked up in an apartment all day long, she deserves better than what I can provide for her. Macy is great at dog parks and the ocean and she loves looooong walks. That hound in her keeps her nose working while walking and she could care less about other animals which is great at times. She responds to sit, come, lay down and leave it and my whistle sound.
