Alonso's Story

A great companion!<br/><br/>Hi, friends! My name is Alonso, and I've come all the way from Tijuana to find my furever home! <br/><br/>I'm a 7 year old old Border Collie mix male, who weighs 45 pounds. I'm potty-trained, house-trained, and leash-trained, and I've already been neutered, too. As far as my health goes, I'm on Royal Canin Vet Diet Adult Gastrointentinal Low Fat Dry dog to help manage my kidney issues. I also have limited vision in my right eye and am blind in my left eye, so I am currently on Prednisone acetate, which costs ~$20 a bottle, depending on the market value and where it is purchased and Optixcare Plus lubricant, (~$15 a tube, depending on the market value and where it is purchased). I also take Telmisartan to manage my high blood pressure (~$15.00 for 3 month supply, depending on market value and where purchased).<br/><br/> <br/><br/>I'm the sweetest boy! I love my humans and to be spoiled by them. My favorite activities include cuddling on the couch, sun-bathing in the yard, napping during the day, getting belly rubs, and going for car rides and walks in the neighborhood. I'm generally a pretty mellow type of guy, but I do get zoomies in the backyard, and I like to play fetch, too. Although I love having company, I also do fine on my own with very little signs of separation anxiety.<br/><br/>I'd prefer to be the only animal in the home since I don't do well around other doggies or kitties. Older kids (eight and older), though, would be a great fit for me. Basically, as long as I have plenty of time around my people, I will thrive be my best self!<br/><br/>"The Animal Pad recognizes that taking in a new dog can pose a challenge to the entire family. Alonso's adoption package includes a FREE four-week scholarship with our partner Goodpup (https://goodpup.com/). Goodpup offers virtual, individualized training to ensure you, your dog, and your family have the skills needed to thrive together. GoodPup Scholarships include:<br/><br/><br/> 4+ weeks of positive reinforcement training<br/> 24/7 chat for questions and support<br/> Access to a behavior team to assist in advanced cases"<br/><br/><br/>Do I sound like two paws up to you? If so, 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/.

The Animal Pad's Adoption Policy
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. Adoption Application: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/
