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.

Valentina

Valentina and Valentino were adopted together in May 2025. They are living their best lives with their new family and we are so happy for them! Here is what their family had to say about these two cuties:

"They have been doing exceptionally well - Valentino has grown into a long and slinky kitty while Valentina has stayed quite stout/small. They're eating very well (constant meowing an hour before food time), sleeping well, playing well (nightly zoomies) and they just seem to be very at home and relaxed now! Both Valentino & Valentina have warmed up to us a lot - Valentino is quite vocal, and wants to talk & wants attention from us. Valentina is a lot less shy, even greeting us with little squeaks whenever we come to pet her! Both have become very used to our touch, greeting us every morning with meows and asking for pats. They sleep wherever they want to, sometimes with us on our bed or on the cat tree in the living room, or the cat bed - but they are growing to be two very loving, affectionate healthy kitties!"

Vincent

Vincent was adopted in April 2023 by a lovely family that has adopted several ARWOB rescues, including another dog named Rico (adopted in April 2017) and two kitties in November 2021. Here is the lovely “pupdate” they sent to us about how Vincent and Rico have become best buddies:

“He's doing great. He has brought out the puppy in our 6 year old retriever mix. His big brother Rico is also an ARWOB alumni. We’ve had him for 6 years. We enjoy seeing both “puppies” play for hours. They play like the best of friends but he's been very cordial and well mannered around my elderly mom and the few house cats that are brave to face him. He will be attending his first puppy class this Sunday. Thanks for checking in.” 


Vita

Sweet Vita was found in Baja Mexico as a stray, running around in traffic, looking lost and afraid.  She has come a long way since that time and we are happy to report that we received a wonderful "pupdate" from her adoptive mom.  Her mom adopted Vita in October 2022 and here is what she has to say about her:

"Thank you for checking in! We have been working with a trainer and we are learning together...the isolation anxiety/separation anxiety has improved a lot and we are enjoying "firsts " together. She is such a sweetheart and adored by everyone who meets her. So grateful to have her in my life! She has insurance, a trainer and many of my friends are vets, so she is covered! Thank you again for the opportunity to adopt her...she replaced a hole in my heart with loss of my last dog."


Valentino

Handsome Valentino was adopted in July 2022 and he is doing really well in his new home with his loving family.  Here is what his adoptive mom has to say:

"Valen’Tino’ is a joy… and a much loved addition to our family. He provided us with plenty of laughs and never fails to surprise. An absolute and much appreciated blessing in our household, in which he of course reigns supreme!"
