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.

Lucy

Toffee (fka Lucy) was adopted in January 2025.  Her adoptive mom shared these cute photos with us.  As you can see, Toffee has a canine sibling to spend her time with.  Her adoptive mom said she has attended a training course so that she can learn new things.  We are so happy for Toffee!


Penelope

Penelope was rescued from the streets of Ensenada in March 2022.  She was very fortunate to have a long-term foster family, who provided her with a loving and stable environment.  She transferred to her new foster dad in October 2024 and she continued to live within a loving and stable home.  However, our dream was that she would evenually find a loving forever home of her own.  Penny is FIV+ and even though kitties like her can live long and healthy lives, she was often overlooked.  She waited a long time to find her forever home and she was finally adopted in January 2025!  Now she is living her best life!  We are over the moon to get this "purrfect" update from her adoptive mom:

"Penelope is doing great! She's settled in perfectly with no issues, and she seems to know that she's finally home. :) She has turned into quite the velcro cat, and she loves following me around the house wherever I go. She likes to lie as close to me as possible or just directly on me! Penny loves looking out the window, taking naps in the sun, and playing with her favorite feather toy. I feel very lucky that I was the one to adopt her, she's one of the best cats I've ever had already."


Phoenix

Sunny (fka Phoenix) has had a challenging journey, but now she is home at last!  She was originally named Sabina and was adopted in 2018 as a young adult kitty.  Unfortunately, her original adopters let her down and rehomed her without contacting ARWOB.  She was eventually rehomed again and we found out she spent 3 years living in a dark solitary room, neglected and suffering from a flea infestation.  Thankfully she was rescued and brought to a local animal shelter who scanned her chip and contacted ARWOB.  She spent time with an ARWOB foster family recovering from her ordeal and getting her health back.  We renamed her Phoenix because she "rose from the ashes" and now she has found the loving forever home she deserves!  She is delighted to be in her new home and has blossomed to be the beautiful fluffy girl she once was. She can now enjoy her golden years living her best life.  Her new adoptive mom just adores her and shared this wonderful update with us.  Sometimes dreams do come true and there is a happy ending!!

"She is doing wonderful. Her new name is Sunny… and she loves food, treats, and is a bit of a Velcro cat. She follows me around and jumps into bed with me. Even sleeps under the covers at my hip. She loves to play, sunbathe, eat her cat grass and stare out the front door at people walking by. She’s a sweet little thing and is an absolute joy to have. She had some dental work done and had a couple teeth removed. She healed well and the vet says her overall health is very good! Her coat is coming in more and she’s gotten even more floofy :) Sunny is the best little roommate I could ask for. I adore her. Thanks for checking in." :)


Robin

Rocco (fka Robin) was adopted in January 2025.  He is enjoying his new life with his family and we are so happy for him.  Here is what his adoptive mom had to say about him:

"We call him Rocco. He’s doing fabulously well and we couldn’t be happier. He is now fully housetrained, but we have not yet started his dog training. We are planning to begin training soon."


Benji

Benji was adopted in December 2024 and he's really loving life with his new family.  He certainly has won the jackpot!  Here is what his adoptive family has to say:

"Benji is doing great! We all love him so much, he has gone to hiking, dog beach, even the softball games with us. He has got to know a lot of other doggie friends in the neighborhood."
