Scheduled Adoption Events

Maya (fka Shortstack) was adopted in June 2023.  Her adoptive family is in love with her! Here is what her adoptive mom has to say about her:

"Maya is doing great! I feel like we hit the jackpot because she really is the perfect pup. She is the queen of the house and keeps everyone in check. She is incredibly patient with our almost 2 year year old and even our newborn. She is so smart and gentle but a little hurricane when she is let off leash. She loves being chased by other dogs while she shows off her zoomies. When she’s inside, she loves following us around and is curious about anything and everything. She has become very close with not only our dog, Balto but also our cat, Apollo. They are inseparable and play any time they’re inside together. They also snuggle and sleep together. We currently have training signups at the top of our list so Maya can continue to learn. Until then, she gets lots of walks and playtime. She is such a great walker, even when the neighborhood dogs join in. She gets lots of compliments from the neighbors for her good behavior. She almost never barks and has become very confident in herself. We are so happy to have her a part of our family. Thank you so much for rescuing her!!"

Winston (fka Onyx) was adopted in July 2023.  We received this awesome "pupdate" from his adoptive dad.  Talk about winning the jackpot!  Winston was even in the family photo shoot!  Here is what his adoptive dad had to say about him:

"Winston is doing great! We love him so much! He is so smart, such a lover/snuggler and wants to be where we are. His social manners out and about and at restaurants is amazing. He is in training at PetSmart and such a good student. He gets to walk with his friend Luna 3x a week for 3 miles and they play. He is so sweet to those walking buy and very kind and calm to their dogs. He just loves everyone!"

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!"

Cece was adopted in July 2023 and we received this fantastic "pupdate" from her adoptive dad:

"Thank you for reaching out! Cece is doing AMAZING. She’s been such a joy for my partner, Crystal, and I. When we first met Cece, we knew pretty quickly that she would be a foster fail. The last 2 months have gone by so fast — lots of ups and downs, but doing great overall. We started dog training classes a couple weeks ago and she is learning basic commands and tricks very fast. In fact, she’s usually the instructor’s go-to dog for demonstrating examples in our group class because she’s smart and catches on so quickly. She is also very food-motivated and people-pleasing. She has high energy and loves making doggy friends during her adventures to the park and beach. At home, Cece is the biggest clinger, and truly wants to be held 24/7. She LOVES meeting new people and instantly wins over any of our friends or family who comes to visit. We're very excited for this upcoming journey with her!"

We absolutely LOVE success stories like this one!  Mochi (fka Smokey) was adopted in July 2023 after waiting patiently for a long time to find her forever family.  She was adopted into a loving family that had previously adopted two ARWOB kitties. We adore repeat adopters!  Maple (fka Brie) and Nacho (fka Munster) were adopted together in December 2022.  Now they have a new feline sister and Mochi is enjoying life with her new family!  Here is what her adoptive mom has to say about her:

"Mochi (FKA Smokey) is doing great! She is such a sweet and hilarious cat. She LOVES to play, her favorites are a laser toy and teaser wands. If she is bored she call out and have you followed her to the toys or will drag the toy to you. If she is lonely she will call again out to anyone that will listen for attention. She is very vocal with chirps and trills. She has an interesting drinking style, she dips her whole chin in the water to drink and she always has water dripping when done. She gets along well with Maple and Nacho. Mochi likes independent play and was not interested in chase, a favorite of the other two but they have some how got her to join them occasionally! When they spend time it is usually lounging around the house, looking out windows or watching the hummingbirds. We are so happy we were able to welcome Mochi into our home and family."
