TAP is an all-breed, non-profit Dog Rescue Organization based in San Diego, Ca. Learn how you can help us right now! >

Adoptable: Miss Mango

Age: 9 years old

Gender: Female

Weight: 52 lbs

Personality: Miss Mango is a low-energy, incredibly affectionate girl who just wants to be near her humans. She adores kids and has a gentle, loving nature that shines through in every interaction. She doesn’t ask for much—just a good meal, a few treats, and someone to love.

Education: Fully bathroom trained and an easy leash walker. Crates worsen her separation anxiety, but she’s made great progress uncrated and hasn’t been destructive when left alone!

Favorite Activities: Napping in the fluffiest blanket you can find! Sunbathing in grass! Hanging out with you at breweries, coffee shops, restaurants.

Looking for: Miss Mango would thrive in a mellow home with plenty of human companionship—she’s still working through some separation anxiety and isn’t quite ready to be left alone for more than 1–1.5 hours at a time. She’s an older girl with a heart full of love and a gentle, joyful spirit that shines through in every tail wag. Follow along @tap_missmango!

Special needs: Miss Mango was rescued with her front right paw missing (likely amputated), so she uses her front left paw and two hind legs to walk! That being said, she is a trooper and still enjoys a nice calm stroll through the neighborhood or a walk along the beach :)

Adoption Fee: $ 200

A survivor with a ton of love to give!

Hi there! My name is Miss Mango, and I’m a spayed nine-year-old girl, weighing 62 pounds.    I’m not quite sure what breed I am, but I’m thought to have some Rhodesian Ridgeback in me. 

I was rescued in June 2024 from the terrible living conditions of Ellos Son La Razon in Mexico.  My front right paw was missing at the time of rescue (likely amputated), but that hasn’t gotten me down one bit! I’m a half-glass-full kind of gal, and I love a nice, calm stroll through the neighborhood or a relaxing walk along the beach.

Despite what I’ve gone through, let’s be clear: I am one big love bug! I’m super affectionate and love to be with my family at all times.  I have an infectious happiness about me, and I’ve been told that that rubs off on anyone who has the pleasure of meeting me.  My other favorite activities include getting tasty treats, napping on the fluffiest blanket I can find, sunbathing in the grass, and being by your side at breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants. 

I adore kids—especially when they give me pets (the more, the better!). I’m not quite sure how I feel about cats yet, though I don’t seem to have a strong prey drive. When it comes to other dogs, I can be a little selective. I tend to do better with smaller pups, and I’d definitely need a slow and gentle introduction to any new furry friends.

As for my manners, I’m fully potty-trained and great on a leash. My main challenge is some moderate separation anxiety—I just really, really love being with my people. But the good news is, I’ve been making great progress in foster care. I’m not a fan of crates, though, so I’d prefer a home without them.

My dream home would be a mellow place with lots of company to help me feel secure as I continue working on my separation anxiety. A doggy sibling could be great, too, as long as we get a proper introduction. And if there are kiddos around? Even better! I love being the center of attention and soaking up all the affection.

If you are someone who is looking for a companion who will brighten up your every day, I might just be your girl! 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/.
