Toto was adopted in April 2023 and his family just shared this adorable photo with us! He sure looks like a very happy pup!
Daffodil and Tulip were adopted together in August 2023. They are living their best lives with their new family! Here is what their adoptive mom has to say about them:
"They are doing great and we love them so much. So glad we found them and you guys!"
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!"
Tito was adopted in June 2023 and his adoptive family shared this sweet "pupdate" with us. He is really living the life with his new family!
"Tito is thriving and doing well. He and I have been going to a group basic training and have been practicing loose leash walking daily and he is slowly getting that he should not pull to get crows, rabbits or squirrels. He has become attached to my husband and me so that if one of us leaves, he whimpers a bit. He loves laying down next to us on the couch when we watch TV. ARWOB's crate training him has been very helpful and we've kept up with his crating when we need to run an errand and for bedtime. He is starting to develop self control when it comes to chewing and has started chewing more on his chew toys than things he's not supposed to chew on like socks and sofa covers. His socialization is going well with the daily walks, daycare 4 hrs a week, and dog park or dog beach once a week. He also has his cousin Eddie, another rescue, come over a few times a week and they run around in the backyard. He's easy going but playful with other dogs and likes all humans though we're working on jumping to greet or play with them. Tito is quite goofy. He plops himself down with such force and we love seeing him gallop into the waves at the beach. He's pretty fearless and very curious though now he's starting to be unsure of the vaccuum cleaner. He is relaxed at the vet's office. One dog owner commented that he's the only dog she had seen that's relaxed at the vet's office (he was laying down on his side on the floor). Another owner said she's never seen a dog so happy to be there (at that time he was actually happily sitting up). Hopefully he'll continue this attitude (our previous 2 dogs were afraid of being at the vet's). We drop him off once a month for a "happy visit" that his vet encourages. The visit lasts about 5 minutes where the vet staff take him to the back, give him treats and loving; then we go home. Thank you ARWOB for rescuing our Tito. He brings lots of laughter and much joy!"
Toto was adopted in April 2023 and he joined a loving family who had adopted their previous dog Dusty from ARWOB in January 2020. Talk about hitting the jackpot! Here is what Toto's adoptive mom has to say about him:
“Toto’s doing great. We haven’t done a training class with him yet, but we will be soon. His at-home training is going well so far. Toto is the second dog we’ve adopted from ARWOB, and we are so lucky to have him in our lives. He is a ball of fun, but also loves to chill in the sun and nap everywhere. He’s a cuddlebug and will plop on your lap if you look comfy enough. Him and our other dog have become fast friends, and he loves to meet new people and dogs. It’s rewarding to see Toto learning and growing every day… he just let out his first little howl!”
