Adoptable: Strine

Age: 6 Years Old

Gender: Male

Breed: Shepherd mix

Weight: 40 lbs

Personality: A total love bug with just a hint of drama. Strine is the king of chill—laid-back, loyal, and always down to lounge at your feet. He loves people more than anything (yes, even treats), and while he gets along with dogs, he does prefer to be the center of your world. He’s got a goofy grin, a heart of gold, and just enough sass to keep things interesting.

Education: Fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and walks great on leash. He listens well to “no” and “leave it,” and is picking up new commands like a champ. Smart boy energy!

Favorite Activities: Walks, playing fetch (for about 10–15 minutes before chilling again), snuggling at your feet, following you from room to room, and soaking up all your attention. Loves toys, stuffed animals, and being your number one fan.

Looking for: A loving home where he can be someone’s ride-or-die cuddle buddy. He’d thrive as the only dog (or with a bigger, respectful buddy), and likely would do well with kids. Not tested with cats. He’s low-maintenance, quiet, affectionate, and absolutely devoted to his human(s). Bonus: prefers dog beds over furniture!

Special needs: None

Adoption Fee: $ 300

Strine is the perfect blend of playful and peaceful. He’ll trot happily beside you on walks, fetch a ball like it’s his job, and then collapse in the sun for a long nap. He’s already overcome a rough past and is more than ready for a future filled with belly rubs, gentle words, and unconditional love. Strine came from ESLR, a heartbreaking hoarding situation in Ensenada, Mexico, where dogs were neglected and mistreated. But that’s behind him now—he’s ready for a home where love isn’t rationed and attention isn’t a competition.

My adoption fee is $300 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/
