History: Sandy their mom was rescued from a breeder who came to the veterinary hospital in Baja to euthanize her because she had served her purpose as a "breeder" and it was time to "retire" her. When we received a call if we would be interested in taking her and her "accidental pregnancy" pupps we didn't hesitate as we knew that little family needed help and an opportunity at a life. Sandy is the best mom and such great personality and behavior we are sure the pups with the right environment will be great companions and very smart.

Note - Adopter must live in the San Diego area for the group to be able to give her next sets of Vaccines and to be able to have her spayed and microchiped when she turns 4 months of age, as well as to have her receive her rabies vaccine. Of course the adoption fee already covers all the expenses.

PLEASE, only adopters who are willing and interested in raising a puppy and know the hardship and responsability that comes with adoption. Remember that puppies will grow and become adult dogs who will grow to live an approx. 10 years.
Puppies "grow" out of their cuteness very soon but they become the best friend and companion you have ever trusted!

A.R.W.O.B. is a non profit 501 (c) 3 animal rescue group in San Diego, CA. We do not have or operate a shelter, just a small quarantine center south of the border to quarantine our Baja rescues until we can find a loving foster or adopter.
Would you like to meet one of our rescues?
Please visit our website at www.ARWOB.org and click the "adoption application" or "Foster application", its the first step to adopting from us from any serious adopter. It allows us to know a little about you and know you are interested in adopting. Its just a formality, not a contract to adopt since you first have to meet with our dog or cat in order to know if he/she is a good match for you and you for them. Once you have submited your application we can schedule a play date. If you would like to meet with any of our rescues who are being fostered at a volunteers home, please give us a call to schedule a play date OR under the 'coments' section in the adoption application let us know what days/time works best for you according to your work/school schedule. We usually require a 24hr notice in order to schedule a play date because we are an all volunteer group and we need to schedule it around our work as well.
Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
