Story
It will be all oh-kai! Hi there! My name is Kai, and I’m a 4-year-old, 43-pound spayed Terrier mix. I was scooped up in Rosario, Mexico, where I was found underweight and living on the streets. I’ve come a long way since then and am ready to find my furever home! I’m a total sweetheart once you’ve earned my trust. I’ll then be your best friend and will be excited every time we see each other! I’m a high-energy gal, and I enjoy being your running buddy on runs through the neighborhood. My other favorite activities include chasing my Chuckit! ball, eating, playing tug-o-war, and sniffing for treats. I’m now fully potty-trained and crate-trained. Leash training is a work in progress, though, since I tend to pull a lot. My biggest challenge, however, is my stranger danger. I tend to become anxious and on high alert once I get outside of my comfort zone. No separation anxiety here, though, especially when I’m left behind with another doggie friend to play with. My ideal household would be a quieter home that had familiar people coming in and out. I’d love a nice backyard to play in, and I’d do just fine as either the only dog or with a well-rounded, confident doggie sibling. No kitties or children, please.  Other than that, a lot of patience and love will help me become my best self! My adoption fee is $250 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/.   ##1143469##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bowser Bo AKA 'Whiskey' is a 3yr old Jack Russell/Parson Russell Terrier Mix weighing in at approx 25-30lbs. Whiskey originally came to us a relinquish from the Humane Society a couple of years ago and sweet boy was quickly adopted. Unfortunately, his adopter is moving out of state for work and cannot find accommodation that will allow him to bring his dogs so we are looking for a new home for him. As a JR Terrier Mix, Whiskey is a smart, fun loving boy, who is good with other dogs and loves to swim and go for rides with his owner. He can be a little reactive when on leash and does warning bark when strangers come to the door. Whiskey is looking for an active home, with owners who are looking for his breed's temperament and intelligence. Whiskey is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you're interested in meeting this little guy head over to his bio page on our website www.nwtlb.org and click the 'ADOPT ME' button.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.    August 16, 2025, 12:36 pm
