This bundle of joy!
Why hello there, hooman! My name is Haddie. I am about 4-year-old, female, Lab Mix weighing around 47 lbs. I am here because The Animal Pad rescued me from being surrendered due to my family's unfortunate circumstances. I am house/bathroom/leash trained! I have great house manners, crate trained, and I will even let you know if I want to go out! I am great on the leash 95% of the time but I do lunge and pull sometimes. I have been spayed.
My foster says I am the sweetest girl. I'm super cuddly, sassy, funny, and kind of human like. I've been through a lot, from being in a home, to living in a car, then TAP, and now several foster, so potential adopters will need to be patient with me as this will be another major change in a short period of time. I have medium-high energy in the morning, but throughout the day it simmers down to low-medium (Netflix and chill please). I'm still a young pup that gets zoomies and loves to chase my tail. I do need to be the only doggo in the home. I am reactive to some doggos while out on walkies. It's mostly because of boundary frustration and I know can be good playmates with a submissive male or other well-matched dogs with some slow introduction. Redirection and obedience classes have helped a lot. I also love to give a warning of any possible intruders, so I will bark at the doorbell, knocks on the door, people out in the hall, or other doggos walking by the window. I am fine being alone and enjoy my alone time and being independent. As I warm up to you more, I will start following you around — but I'll just sit and watch you. I'm half Velcro pup/half independent. Now onto little hoomans! I LOVE them! We love interacting with each other. My favorite thing is most likely tug of war. I enjoy walkies, runs, the beach, and any outdoor activity but I enjoy being in the house, snuggled up on the couch just as much. I'm adaptable to anyone's energy, but I will enjoy an active family as I love to investigate and stop to sniff everything while outside. I enjoy training, but don't push me past my limits. My favorite foods include cheese and peanut butter.

My perfect furever home would be one with love! I need to be the only doggo at home. I adore little hoomans, but no children under 10 years old. My adoption fee is $200 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/
