Story
Gigi will be your best girlie! Hello, there! I’m Gigi– a little lady with a big heart, a dash of sass, and a deep love for my people. At 8 years young, I’m the ultimate companion. I’m a cute Cairn terrier (if I don’t say so myself) at a nice medium-sized, 45 pounds. I adore snuggling on the couch, going on sniff-filled strolls, and proudly carrying around my stuffed animals like tiny trophies. I’ve come a long way since being rescued from the Pasadena shelter during the fire evacuations. I’m still settling in and learning what it means to be a carefree pup. I like other dogs, but I can be protective when it comes to sharing my favorite things (can you blame a girl for wanting to keep her treats and toys?). With patient guidance, I know I’ll get there! On leash, I might bark at first, but give me a moment and I’ll happily say hello. I’m potty trained, eager to please, and love being part of a family. The crate? Not my favorite, but I do well with a baby gate instead. I’d love a home where I can be your devoted little shadow—someone who understands that I thrive with a routine, plenty of walks, and lots of love. I’m the pawfect balance of active energy and cute cuddles. Due to my resource guarding, I’d be best as your solo sweetheart or with a mellow, submissive pooch. I’ve already grown so much with my foster fam and know that I will continue to blossom with love and patience. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky girl who’s ready to find her furever, I just might be the perfect fit. Come meet me—I’ll be the one wagging my tail, waiting for you! 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/ ##2276552##

Story
Herman is a 3 year old terrier mix with so much love to give! Herman was found left alone at the Cabazon Dinosaurs, after waiting out his stray hold, when no one came to claim him, we busted him out of the Riverside Shelter. He is a gentle boy who would be a great work from home partner! He has not shown any food aggression and is great with his 2 foster siblings. When we found him he was unable to put weight on his front left paw - but the vets think this is a soft tissue injury that will heal with time (and love!). He is fully potty trained and loves to be outside. All this boy wants is to snuggle and give kisses. He will make an amazing addition to any home!

Story
How this pet arrived: Antoinette was brought in by a community member on January 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Antoinette is the definition of a mellow, easygoing companion. She walked into her foster home, found a dog bed, and made herself right at home-like she had always belonged. With her agreeable personality, she gets along well with other dogs and takes life in stride. She's likely potty trained, having had only one accident so far, and she sleeps peacefully through the night. While she does have some medical considerations, including severe dental tartar and a grade 4-5 heart murmur, our veterinarian is available to guide her future family in providing the care she needs. If you're looking for a sweet, senior soul to share your home and heart, Antoinette could be the perfect fit. Fill out the interest form above to learn more! At SDHS:Antoinette has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 12.6 Age: 10yrs 0mths 1wks

We have never seen any aggression to any dogs on or off leash. She does enjoy her chewy sticks as she loves to have chewing sessions on her bully stick or toys.She is house and potty trained.
