The Animal Pad is a non profit, all breed dog rescue based in San Diego, California. Our ultimate goal is to build, operate and maintain a no-kill animal sanctuary. This would be the model to expand into other cities, and help others who would like to create similar sanctuaries. Our current focus is rescuing dogs from high kill shelters in Southern California. We get them the vet care they need, find foster homes, rehab and facilitate adoptions into loving homes.

Here at TAP, we give voice to the voiceless and our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find them the best homes possible.

The Animal Pad was founded in 2010 because we saw a dire need for action in our local shelter systems. Millions of dogs are put to sleep every year in shelters across America and we need to change that. We hope that TAP can put a dent in those numbers and help to greatly reduce the amount of dogs that are euthanized every day by educating the public on the importance of spay/neutering their pets, adopting vs. buying.and treating dogs with the love and respect they so deserve. Here at TAP, we give voice to the voiceless and our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find them the best homes possible.
