Scheduled Adoption Events

To see all events, visit our EVENT CALENDAR Page.

To make the most out of your time, we suggest you SUBMIT an adoption APPLICATION BEFORE an adoption event.

Check the animal attendance the morning before the event to confirm attendance of a particular rescue. In addition, please check the up-to-date animals attendance list 1 HOUR BEFORE an event to know if the dog or cat you want to meet is still attending.

Also remember to review important event information BEFORE attending.

Donate

Not ready to adopt a dog or cat? Have no time to volunteer or foster?

You can still help: a donation is a great way to help ARWOB! Any amount - large or small - is appreciated.

Find out other ways you can donate to ARWOB by visiting our donation page.

Foster a Rescue

Fostering is
FREE and FUN!

We not only provide you with everything you need to take care of one of our rescues, but the experience is SO fulfilling. By placing one animal into a foster home, you allow us to save another. We are always in need of foster parents.

Our Mission

Animal Rescuers Without Borders, Inc. is all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which consists of a group of dedicated people who donate their time, resources, skills and energy toward the battle against the overpopulation of homeless pets and improving the lives of companion animals through rescue, fostering programs, adoption, pet care, educational programs and, of course, spaying and neutering.

UPDATE - 05/2021

Adoptions are continuing while following social distancing and federal/state safety recommendations.
ARWOB will not be holding adoption events until 2022. Therefore, if you see a dog or cat you'd like to meet and possibly adopt, we request that an adoption application be submitted online for review.
We will schedule meets with approved applicants.
We don't place holds on rescues which means, please, DO NOT submit an adoption application unless you are READY to adopt.

LOOKING TO ADOPT A FELINE RESCUE?

Please, submit adoption applications online for our adoptable feline rescues. We will not be able to invite potential adopters into the CAC unless they have submitted an application and it was been APPROVED for adoption and scheduled meet and greet has been scheduled with a volunteer. Please, DO NOT KNOCK at the door of the center asking on site shift volunteers to be allowed inside the center to interact with our felines like we used to prior to COVID times. If the particular cat you are interested in happens to be residing at our CAC, you are, of course, welcome to stop by and meet THROUGH the window of the center!

Foster: For those of you not looking to adopt, who always travel, or whatever your reason may be, fostering is a wonderful and FREE alternative to adoption. We give you all the supplies you need to take care of one (or more!) of our dogs or cats. We usually ask you foster for a minimum of 2 weeks.
