Paw Squad
The Paw Squad returns for the 2025 season! Introduced in 2022, the Padres furry friends, Diego, Sunny, and Rookie can be found at Petco Park every Saturday and Sunday during the upcoming season.
On Sundays, fans can meet more members of the Paw Squad in Gallagher Square! On select Sundays, Petco Love and Shelter to Soldier (STS) will be on-site with more pups to pet! Shelter to Soldier is a nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from local shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 veterans. STS also places emotional support animals (ESAs) with active-duty military and veterans and provides no-cost visits of love and comfort to local military, veterans, and their families through their Canine Ambassador Program.
Join the Padres on Saturdays and Sundays to meet the Paw Squad!
Meet the Paw Squad
Meet Diego
As a big ball of energy, there is never a dull moment when Diego is around ¨C even if that means getting in a little bit of trouble. You can usually find him eating the best treats, being a bit daring, or just being a downright goofball. You always know it¡¯s Diego because he loves wearing his bright gold chain to match his beloved Padres. When Diego is at Petco Park, all he wants to do is make new friends and hang with fellow Padres fans like you.
Meet Sunny
You'll always feel that San Diego shine when you're hanging with Sunny. As the leader of the Paw Squad, Sunny loves baseball more than anything and is always rooting for a Padres win! Her signature pink bow is a gameday staple and serves as a good luck charm for a Padres win! Next time you're at Petco Park, say hi to Sunny as she enjoys the game from the Petco Barkyard with the rest of the Squad.
Meet Rookie
They say you learn to love the game at a young age and Rookie is a true testament to just that. The little brother of Paw Squad, Rookie is eager to catch up with the rest of his siblings as they root for their beloved Padres. So, what does he wear on gamedays? He takes cues from both of his older siblings. He learns everything about the game from his sister, Sunny, so he too wears a bow for good luck. But, he has to match the Padres like his brother, Diego, so his bow is brown!
