My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 



Churu is a total treat!



Hey there, I'm Churu, and I've got quite the story to tell. At 2 years old and 55 pounds, I'm a terrier mix with a heart of gold and a past that's made me stronger than ever. I didn't have the easiest start in life. I was one of 387 dogs rescued from a terrible scam rescue/hoarding situation in Ensenada called Ellos Son La Razon. For many months, I lived in a crate in an outdoor boarded-up room that was pitch black. Human interaction was something I only dreamed of until The Animal Pad stepped in.



When I first arrived to safety, I was completely shut down and terrified, spending days in my crate even when it was left open. But then something magical happened—I discovered Churu treats. Those little squeezable treats became my lifeline, helping me take those first steps toward trusting humans. And that's how I got my name!



With lots of love and patience, I've transformed into a confident dog who adores people. I'm affectionate and cuddly, and I'll happily spend all day lounging in bed with you if you'll let me. I also love going for rides in the car and joining you for all life’s adventures. I get along well with other dogs, though I can be a bit possessive of my toys and food sometimes. But hey, I'm making progress every day! Overall, I adore my furry foster sister and brother, playing with dogs of all sorts, and meeting new people including kiddos!



I’m a very good boy in the house and have the potty training thing down. I also do well on the leash but could use some additional training. I just LOVE walk time! Confinement in my crate isn't my favorite thing, but I'm getting better at managing my anxiety. I'd much rather be free-roaming, exploring the world and meeting new people. I do have some separation anxiety and feel most comfortable by your side. After all I've been through, I deserve a home where I'll be appreciated for the survivor that I am.



Whether you're looking for a cuddle buddy, a playmate for your pooch, or as the newest addition to your family, I'm your guy. Any home would be great for me—I'm just happy to have a chance at a better life. Let's make some memories together!



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/

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We prioritize local San Diego applicants. We do not provide transport of dogs to other states, and don't allow the dogs to fly in the cargo of the plane.
Our adoption process from start to finish, involves 3 standard forms, and 2 situational.
All potential applicants must be capable of providing their adopted pet with routine and emergency veterinary care (yearly health checks, keeping vaccinations current, heartworm/flea preventatives, and immediate care in the event the animal is sick or injured). They are required to license their pet, and keep an identification tag on their pet at all times.
All applicants must agree to a home check, and provide us with a veterinary reference, or personal references if you're a first-time pet owner. Our home checks are not to invade the privacy of the applicants, we do this to ensure the pet is going into a safe home. We do not discriminate against non-homeowners, or those living in apartments, condos, or otherwise.
Our adoption fees vary from $150-1000.
Applicants must agree in writing that if for any reason they are unable to keep or care for their pet, the pet will be surrendered back to our rescue and not re-homed, turned over to a shelter, pound, rescue, new owner, sold, etc.
