We received a sweet "pupdate" about Sadie, who was adopted from ARWOB in April 2021. Here is what her adoptive Mom has to say about her:
"Thank you for checking in with me and Sadie. She has brought joy to our household. She is the same size as when I got her. We are busy training her on her digging habit. She enjoys picking my granddaughter up from school as is great with all the kids giving her pets. I am grateful to have found her. Here are a few photos to share with my granddaughter her frenchton and rides to Big Bear Lake CA. She is a great companion in the mountain for hikes. She also enjoys going to dog beaches in San Diego. Sadie is a a really good dog. She has helped me in my grief of losing my other dog that I had for 15 years. Sadie and I were a great match, all the family loves her."
We received a nice "pupdate" about Bader (fka Salem). Here is what his new family has to say:
"Bader (Salem) is an absolute doll. He's smart, gentle and we are completely in love. We've been doing some training of our own, but have still not yet potty trained him 100%. When he was adopted, we were told he was potty trained, however our experience has been quite different [Bader has been taken to the vet and the adopters have asked ARWOB for suggestions to address the behavior]. I've attached pic from our first hike back in March. We've been able to take him to restaurants and eat outside, to our friends' houses and on doggy dates. He's amazing. Everyone comments on what a great pup he is! We've made great progress with the separation anxiety training and I've taught him to sit and shake. Thanks for all that you and your team do."
Sundance (fka Sandia) was adopted from ARWOB in March 2021. Here is what her adoptive Mom has to say about her:
"We absolutely love our sweet girl Sundance (formerly known as Sandia). She has settled in beautifully, and is now a seasoned and very loved member of our family. It's incredible to see just how quickly she adjusted to life in our home, and how attached she is to us, and we are to her. She learned our routine quickly and is doing beautifully. Currently, her favorite activities include neighborhood walks, trips to the dog park, chasing bunnies on her last ladies' room run for the evening, and playing fetch in the yard. She also likes warm showers, and hanging out with her, "cousin puppies" at my parents house when we all have family dinner; Sundance and their two black labs have quickly become best friends! Sundance and my daughters bonded right away. It's so sweet to watch the three of them interact together. We have been blown away at just how sweet Miss Sundance is. She is gentle, loving, optimistic, stubborn and easy to please. She is gentle, loves to cuddle with us on the couch and sunbathes everyday on our patio.
This summer, we intend to enroll Sundance in dog-training courses when we have a little more time (as a Kindergarten teacher, my schedule opens up at that time a bit more) to help with basic commands, and to help encourage her from running should she get loose from her leash. She has what we call a, "curious, wild heart" and will run if given the chance. So, we would like to work on this impulse control to ensure her safety. In the meantime, we are working hard to encourage the continued development of the family routine and getting her to feel very comfortable and confident in her new home."
Kona (fka Stella) was adopted from ARWOB in February 2021. She is doing great in her new home! Here is what her adoptive family has to say:
"Our pup (renamed Kona) is a wonderful addition! She is FANTASTIC with our toddler and even seems to have brought the “puppy” out of our older dog. She is smaller than we expected. The vet estimates that she will be less than 40 pounds. We love her and we are appreciative of all that you do!"
We received a nice "pupdate" about Shirley, who was adopted from ARWOB in February 2021. Here is what her adoptive mom has to say about her:
"She is doing great! We are loving her so much. She has been growing, and we are working on sit and stay, she’s got sit down!"
