San Diego Padres
Paw Squad
The Padres’ Paw Squad is a fan favorite at Petco Park. The energetic mascot dogs bring extra spirit to game days. From entertaining the crowd to greeting fans in Gallagher Square, the Paw Squad adds a playful touch to the Padres experience. Kathleen has a special connection to the squad because her own dog Cassidy came from the same family that owns and trains the Paw Squad pups.
You Be the Dream
