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.

Trinity

Fenris (fka Trinity) was adopted in December 2023.  We received the sweetest "pupdate" from her adoptive mom:

"Trinity is doing amazing! We decided to call her Fenris (Fen for short) & we absolutely love her. She’s taken to training & developing a schedule quickly & really well. Shes grown a little bit & had some weight to put on so now she’s just under 40lbs. She’s good with everyone- humans of all ages, dogs, & even squirrels! Her favorite thing to do on walks is sit & watch squirrels & birds whenever she finds them. She recently started & is in love with doggie daycare. She goes once or twice a week for a few hours to play with her friends. We found a trainer through them & we actually start this weekend to shore up the rest of the things we’d like to work on (like listening- that’s a tough one sometimes lol). She has been the best addition to our family & we are so thankful to have found ARWOB & her. It’s been a perfect fit. She is smart, friendly, & super cuddly. She’s brought so much joy to our home. She goes with us everywhere. My favorite part of the day, & I think hers too, is our long walks. We usually do at least a mile & she loves going through Balboa Park nearby or the beach. Thank you & ARWOB for bringing her into our lives."


Toto

Toto was adopted in April 2023 and his family just shared this adorable photo with us!  He sure looks like a very happy pup!


Tulip

Daffodil and Tulip were adopted together in August 2023. They are living their best lives with their new family! Here is what their adoptive mom has to say about them:

"They are doing great and we love them so much. So glad we found them and you guys!"


Tessa

Tessa has come a long way since first being rescued from the streets of Tijuana in 2020.  She was taken in by a local rescue in the area, who reached out to ARWOB in September 2022 to ask if we could help with a few long term dogs they had in their care.  Tessa then came to San Diego to find a forever family of her own.  She was adopted in July 2023 and she is living a wonderful life with her new family.  Her adoptive mom provided this lovely update:

"Things with Tessa are going so so well! She has such a big personality and we bonded quickly. I haven’t felt the need for training since she’s pretty obedient and we haven’t run into any issues at home or in the community. She’s such a sweetheart and everyone loves her. Thanks for checking in!"


Tito

Tito was adopted in June 2023 and his adoptive family shared this sweet "pupdate" with us.  He is really living the life with his new family!

"Tito is thriving and doing well. He and I have been going to a group basic training and have been practicing loose leash walking daily and he is slowly getting that he should not pull to get crows, rabbits or squirrels. He has become attached to my husband and me so that if one of us leaves, he whimpers a bit. He loves laying down next to us on the couch when we watch TV. ARWOB's crate training him has been very helpful and we've kept up with his crating when we need to run an errand and for bedtime. He is starting to develop self control when it comes to chewing and has started chewing more on his chew toys than things he's not supposed to chew on like socks and sofa covers. His socialization is going well with the daily walks, daycare 4 hrs a week, and dog park or dog beach once a week. He also has his cousin Eddie, another rescue, come over a few times a week and they run around in the backyard. He's easy going but playful with other dogs and likes all humans though we're working on jumping to greet or play with them. Tito is quite goofy. He plops himself down with such force and we love seeing him gallop into the waves at the beach. He's pretty fearless and very curious though now he's starting to be unsure of the vaccuum cleaner. He is relaxed at the vet's office. One dog owner commented that he's the only dog she had seen that's relaxed at the vet's office (he was laying down on his side on the floor). Another owner said she's never seen a dog so happy to be there (at that time he was actually happily sitting up). Hopefully he'll continue this attitude (our previous 2 dogs were afraid of being at the vet's). We drop him off once a month for a "happy visit" that his vet encourages. The visit lasts about 5 minutes where the vet staff take him to the back, give him treats and loving; then we go home. Thank you ARWOB for rescuing our Tito. He brings lots of laughter and much joy!"
