Note - Adopter must live in the San Diego area for the group to be able to give his next and final set of Vaccines and to be able to have him Neutered and microchiped when he turns 4 months of age, as well as to have him receive his rabies vaccine. Of course the adoption fee already covers all the expenses.
Scout came into the group after someone had found him in streets. He is a very sweet little guy and his foster mom has done a great job socializing and crate training him. Scout is a little bundle of joy! He is very loving and playful, he is however very small and will be expected to be a small breed.

A home were he can be spoiled and loved would be his ideal forever home. 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.
If you would like to contact us PLEASE give us a call at 619-977-3593 or email us at animalrescuers@sbcglobal.net
