Scheduled Adoption Events

Fred and Ginger were adopted together in March 2021.  Here is what their adoptive Mom has to say about them:

"Fred and Ginger are doing great and we love them so much! We are so happy that we got to keep them together because they have such a strong bond to each other that I can't imagine them separated. They are gentle with the kids and have each learned a handful of commands, though we can't seem to keep them off of the couch. I don't think they've grown, at least not noticeably and though they seemed big at first, now they seem a good size and definitely don't seem big when we take them to the dog park and go into the "big dog" area! They are settling in nicely and I would definitely consider them a success story!"

Santo (fka Flop) was adopted from ARWOB in March 2021.  Here is what his adoptive Mom has to say about him:

"We are very happy with our fur baby. We have renamed him Santo and have been working with him on training.  He is a good boy and seems very happy. He’s gotten longer and bigger and we anticipate he will be a big boy.  He has mastered sit, stay, down, walk with me, off, left turn, right turn and come. He’s super smart and so incredibly loving and sweet. We are so happy to have him as our fur baby and plan to enroll him in agility because he has a lot of dexterity and energy."

We received a lovely "pupdate" about Katara (fka Harper), who was adopted from ARWOB in May 2020. This wonderful family had also adopted Finnegan the kitty from us back in September 2014. Repeat adopters are awesome! Here is what their adoptive Dad had to say:

"My fiancé and I adopted Harper (we renamed her Katara). Katara is doing great! She’s grown to a small/medium sized dog weighing in at 38lbs which is perfect for our current living arrangements. Despite her small stature, she is pretty strong and a loyal little protector. She’s also a little sweetheart! She gets along great with our cat, Finnegan (also adopted from ARWOB in Sept of 2014) and even if he pretends not to like her, we have caught them snuggling together a number of times. Due to the restrictions throughout the shutdown, we were not able to get her any professional or coached training. However, I was working from home and spent a lot of time teaching her basic commands and house manners. Considering she had such informal training and socialization, she behaves very well and gets along great with other dogs. My fiancé has been working at a dog groomer’s for the last few months and Katara gets to go along and hang with the other shop dogs as well as their clients' dogs. They’re kind of their own little pack (LOL). Thanks for reaching out and more importantly thanks for doing the incredible work that you do!"

We received a sweet update about Caramelo (fka Lino) and Jamocha/Chiclet (fka Felicity), who were adopted together in February 2021. Here is what their adoptive family has to say about them:

"All is well with our Siamese kitties...they were Lino and Felicity...now Caramelo and Jamocha (Chiclet). We visited our vet a couple weeks ago for a check-up and had their nails trimmed again...our vet waits until a year old for 3rd shot as they were older than 16 weeks when they got the first set. They are growing and playful and seem happy together."

We received another great progress report for Felipe, who was adopted from ARWOB in January 2021. Here is what his family has to say about him:

"He found his favorite spot on the deck in the sun and warm concrete. His second favorite spot to chill is on the couch, usually snuggled up to one of us. He has not had any accidents in the house a couple of weeks and sleeps all night quietly in his crate. We have our second training with behaviorist coming up. He recommended every 3-4 weeks. Felipe still has moments when he gets strong willed and determined (not always in a positive way), but we can usually get him out of that space but will continue to train in this area. He can sit and lay on command and even wait (though sometimes he starts to drool) to get command before he eats his food. He is loved much and blended well into the family."
