My story

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

The perfect companion to your pup!

Hi pals! My name is Philo, and I’m a 1.5-year-old Dachshund mix, weighing in at 18 pounds. I’m a good ol’ boy who’s already been neutered and in great health!

I was initially rescued from a hoarding situation in Riverside, and let me tell you, that was a ruff time in my life. A shelter soon took all 140 of us in, and I was one of three that was listed to be euthanized due to how fearful we were. Thankfully, though, TAP scooped me up just in time (along with my pals, Rigatoni and Rio), and things have been looking up ever since!

As far as my personality goes, I’m a high-energy boy with a goofy personality. I can be a bit naughty at times, but I love to play 24/7 – especially with other doggie friends – and take walks. I’m already potty-trained and crate-trained, and I show no signs of separation anxiety. Due to my past, however, I don’t like to be touched.

My ideal home would be one that has at least one other doggie sibling for me to play with. I’m a submissive kind of guy and am able to get along with female dogs or large male dogs. I love to play and flirt with the girls and hand with the big boys! Kiddos are a “no” for me, though, since their unpredictability and noisiness scares me. Other than that, though, I’m a sweet boy who will bring a smile to your face!

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/.

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.
