Story
Meet Rocko, formerly known as Peter from the Mal-y Bunch! Rocko is a sweet, happy, very smart and driven 6 month old Malinois x German Shepherd mix who weighs around 20 lbs. He has been fostered with other dogs, ranging in age from 1.5 years old to 9 years old. Rocko has also been socialized with kids, though we recommend a home with dog-experienced kids since Rocko will need some help understanding how to play with them. This gem of a pup loves to love and bonds quickly with his person or persons, is eager to learn and please, and does great out in social settings. Rocko's also house and crate trained, and is working on his leash manners. He'll make a great hiking or adventure buddy, working dog, or sport dog.  Rocko's story - Their mama was surrendered to the shelter the day before she gave birth. The very next day she welcomed 9 beautiful puppies. The shelter is no place for any dog, let alone a mom and her new puppies. Thanks to an amazing foster, we were able to quickly rescue mama + all 10 puppies! All Mutt Luv dogs/puppies come vaccinated, microchipped, s/n, heartworm tested, and with a clean bill of health from our vet.

Story
Gwen here, I`m pretty nervous here and am hoping to find my home soon. I am still learning that the shelter is safe but I am so used to being in a home that this just doesn`t feel right. I love pets and to give kisses and attention, but like I said I am nervous so loud noises and fast movements make me uncomfortable. So as far as a home I`d prefer a calm mellow home at least now while I`m still learning the ropes of life.

Hi, my name is Jaxson. I`m a smart boy and know a solid SHAKE! I enjoy treats and toys... I love to chew. I`m now doing training and learning the DOWN cue. I can do SIT and SHAKE. I really need a home to go to because the kennels are stressing me out. I need more space and a family. You could foster me first if your not sure about me.

Story
She was found wandering and she approached in a friendly manner. She was dirty but her nails were trimmed and was wearing a collar so I figured she had an owner but unfortunately she wasn't chipped. I posted ads on nextdoor, pawboost, and facebook but got no response. I also put up some flyers around but no luck. She is a lovely character, always wants to play and also is very attentive. She is potty trained and crate trained, and loves to play fetch. She seems to be around 10 months old, so she is still a puppy. Loves to play with other dogs. She will be an excellent companion to whomever will adopt her, all she wants is love and to chase the ball. Shots up to date

This is an amazing dog. He was abandoned in Mexico and stayed outside me door because I fed him. I thought he might go home becausae I know the house he was at but they did not take care of him. We let him in and he's great with everybody and so smart. He can be service dog or just a great family member.  ##2302768##

Story
Hi, I’m Kabru! I’m a 3-year-old, 73-pound German Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. My journey started at Pasadena Humane as part of a fire relief effort before I made my way to TAP. I spent about three months in the shelter before getting my second chance, and now I’m ready to find my forever home! I’m a lovable, high-energy goofball who’s always ready for fun! I’m smart, affectionate, and love being the center of attention—but I’ll admit, I can be a little mischievous too (in the most charming way, of course). I thrive in an active home that keeps me engaged, and while I sometimes struggle with focus and have a little separation anxiety, I have so much potential! I’d do great with structure, training, and even a job to keep me busy. Whether it’s a long hike, a trip to the brewery, or an evening walk by the bay, I’m always up for an adventure! I’m already crate, leash, and potty trained, though I’m still working on getting even better on leash. Some of my favorite things? Kongs, tug-of-war, and long sniffy walks! I’m looking for an active family who has the time and patience to help me grow into the best companion I can be. I’d love a home with older kids and larger dog friends who can keep up with my energy and help show me how to be a polite gentleman. With the right guidance and plenty of playtime, I know I’ll make an amazing adventure buddy and loyal best friend. Could that be you? 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/ ##2276548##

Story
Kona is a sweet, smart, healthy, and athletic girl. I adopted her in 2016 and at the time, the vet said was 2-3 years old. I was single then and had lots of time time to spend with her. I’m now married with two small children, a full time job (active duty military) and a husband who deploys regularly. I can no longer give Kona the get the exercise or attention she deserves and she is home alone all day which causes her anxiety. It pains me to have to look for a better home for her, but the circumstances of my life aren’t fair to her. I’m hoping to find someone who can love her and give her the attention she deserves.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Loving, smart young adultJasper is an adorable, friendly 1.5 year old mix ready for his forever home. Jasper originally came from the streets in La Paz, Baja California, Mexico, where he had been abandoned in a cemetery with two siblings when they were just a few weeks old. A kind soul spotted them hiding there on their own, scared and trying to survive, and friends rescued the three pups. Jasper was adopted in 2023 but recently returned (to no fault of his own) as his family can no longer care for him due to a progressive medical disability.  Jasper is lovable, well behaved and a super smart dog who knows basic commands. He loves to play ball and be outside. He was taught to ring the bell on the door handle to ask to be let outside to potty.  He would do best as an only dog and prefers females. He is up to date on all vaccines and is healthy.  Please consider adopting sweet Jasper - he can't wait to find his person to curl up on the couch and be your companion!
