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.
Please review our Adoption Process before filling out an application. If you would like to try a Foster to Adopt trial, please fill out an Adoption Application.
If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application.
Rockie was found wandering the streets of San Diego along with Bobbie, an Australian Shep mix. They were saved from being hit by a car and turned into Animal Control. The foster family actually was able to find his owners and let them know where they were but the owners opted to leave them behind in the shelter!? Why?! Because they just didn't care about them anymore. So, ARWOB exited them and they are both being fostered by a family in Chula Vista. Both are amazing, sweet, and loving dogs and do not need to be adopted together. Rockie is very quiet and although he can have energy and play around with the dogs he is also very mellow and would LOVE to be a family dog once more. He is a huge cuddler and has the sweetest disposition... Look at that loving face!
