Osa's Story

Personality: Spunky girl with the friendliest nature! She does prefer slow introductions to allow trust to develop.<br/><br/>Education: Bathroom and leash trained<br/><br/>Favorite Activities: Cuddles, zoomies, walks.<br/><br/>Looking For: An active family ready for a girl that plays hard. She will need some decompression time and then will be the most fun girl ever!<br/><br/>Special Needs/Concerns: TVT survivor. To help manage frequent urinary tract problems, I am eating Hills Prescription Diet Urinary Care C/D (~$103 for largest bag) along with taking Cranberry Plus D-Mannose supplement (~$15.00 for a months supply, depending on where purchased and market value).<br/><br/>Bio: She aims to please!<br/><br/>Nice to meet you! I'm Osa!<br/><br/>I am fully house-trained, and I walk perfectly on a leash with almost no pulling. I'm easily trainable (I've almost fully mastered "sit" and "wait"), too, and I respond well to verbal corrections. As far as my health goes, I am a proud TVT survivor and had surgery to repair my prolapsed vagina. I am all cleared by the vet now! <br/><br/>A little bit about me, you ask? Well, I am just the sweetest girl you'll ever meet, and I will do anything I can to please my humans. I'm attention-motivated, and I will happily cuddle on the couch all day long and demand endless pets and love from you. But despite being incredibly loving, I also have an energetic spunky side! I love taking walks and am at my best when I'm getting about 2-4 miles of walking per day. I make a fantastic running buddy, too, and will run by your side while on a leash. When I'm not outside, I've been known to wrestle, as well as toss/chase my Kong around the house. I also tend to get the zoomies pretty often, especially after a nice, long walk. I used to be wary of men, but I have learnt to trust, and even snuggle! <br/><br/>Something that I also wanted to add is that I can take a little while to warm up to new people and new surroundings. Therefore, I prefer slow introductions in order to feel comfortable. I can feel nervous and tense around males on occasion. Currently, I'd rather they not engage with me and just allow me to sniff them once ready. I am also muzzle trained.<br/><br/>My ideal home would be with an active family who can provide me with sufficient exercise every day. I also require lots of love and cuddles, and I'm happy to report that I don't have any separation anxiety and can be left alone for several hours with no issues. I am kitty- and dog-friendly, and I think I would do okay around little humans. <br/><br/>Do we sound like a match? If so, my adoption fee includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please apply!

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/
