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.

Beast

Today’s adoption update is noteworthy for a few reasons. Beast and Bernie were two kittens that had been adopted from ARWOB in October 2009 and then relinquished back to us seven years later in November 2016 when they were seniors! They were fostered together by a lovely volunteer, who absolutely fell in love with them and decided to adopt them as a pair in February 2017. Bernie has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but Beast is still going strong. His adoptive mom recalls the first time she met the brothers: “I remember the first time I met them at the PetSmart in Oceanside. Beast was hiding in a cubby box in the corner of the kennel and Bernie immediately jumped onto the mini cat tree next to the kennel when I opened the kennel door. They looked so sad and confused being there that I immediately decided to foster these big floofy boys. I think it was a month later that I foster failed.”

Fast forward to present day and the story continues to be even more heartwarming! Beast’s mom decide to foster two very skittish kittens for ARWOB in August 2020, who are named Matthew and Gunnar. They slowly came out of their shell, but it was pretty obvious that they were bonded and needed to stay together. Once again, their foster mom fell in love and now Beast has two little brothers to spend his days with, who keep him on his toe beans and provide him with never-ending companionship!

Ben

ARWOB received this amazing "pupdate" about Juan (fka Ben), who was adopted in April 2020.  Here is what his new family has to say about him:

"We adopted Juan (formerly Benji) in April and it changed our lives! He is such a funny, loving, energetic little dog! He loves swimming in the ocean, playing fetch nonstop (literally all day if we would let him), and cuddling with mom and dad after his evening zoomies."


Bailey

ARWOB received this sweet update about Lulu (fka Bailey), who was adopted from us in April 2020. She is loving life with her new family and they are smitten with her!

"She is doing amazing! We love her so much and can’t imagine life without her. We ended up changing her name to Lulu. She is extremely social, loving, and cuddly. She always sleeps on top of one us or curled up like a little spoon. She will meow to be held and then purr when we do. She has learned to come when her name is called. She loves to sit in the window and watch the birds outside. She loves to go into the shower after we use it and catch the last water drops from the faucet by clapping them between her paws. Her favorite toys are her feather on a string and the plastic balls she pulls out of her track toy to chase around the carpet. We are so grateful to ARWOB and to whoever her first foster was because they did an incredible job socializing her. I remember reading their account on her page. She is the absolute sweetest cuddle bug and we are so happy."


Bruce

Today we received an awesome update about Bruce from his adoptive Dad. Bruce was adopted from ARWOB in March 2020. As you can see, he is enjoying his two canine siblings and we are so happy for him. It would appear that Bruce really likes interactive games too. Here is what his Dad has to say:

"Bruce is happier than ever! He's honestly the best cat in the world and we love him to death!"
