Check the animal attendance the morning before the event to confirm attendance of a particular rescue. In addition, please check the up-to-date animals attendance list 1 HOUR BEFORE an event to know if the dog or cat you want to meet is still attending.

Also remember to review important event information BEFORE attending.

Donate

Not ready to adopt a dog or cat? Have no time to volunteer or foster?

You can still help: a donation is a great way to help ARWOB! Any amount - large or small - is appreciated.

Find out other ways you can donate to ARWOB by visiting our donation page.

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.

The PAWSOME " WOOFER WEDNESDAYS"!! ARWOB Volunteer's will Be @ The Wine Pub the FIRST & THIRD Wednesday of every month(on occasion the dates may change. Please check event calendar ahead of time) with a couple of adoptables AND in need of foster families - The woofer Wednesday is a great way to have adopters meet dogs they may be interested in adopting while spending some relaxed time away from actual adoption events and get to know the rescue dog personality. If you see a dog with ARWOB you like to meet for either foster or adoption please, email us at animalrescuers@sbcglobal.net to request a particular dog attends the woofer Wednesday and we will contact you to confirm if he/she can attend. If you are unable to foster or adopt perhaps you can stop by and help support the WOOFER WEDNESDAY by grabbing your pups at home and heading out to have a drink, dinner or BOTH! The Wine Pub donates 10% of ALL sales done on WEDNESDAYs when you wine or dine along with your fur kids in the pet friendly patio and mention you are there supporting ARWOB. You can stop by ANY and ALL Wednesday's, anytime TWP is open from 4pm to 9pm. Call your friends, family or coworkers and head on down to have a great time while helping support ARWOB. And if you can say hi to our pups! They would love to the attention!

To make the most out of your time at the event: if you have spotted a pet in who caught your attention in the event attendance list, we suggest you submit an online adoption application ahead of the event (it enables us to review it before the event).

If you are thinking of fostering-to-adopt, we recommend you submit the adoption application instead of the foster application and let us know in the form comments section about your interest in the foster to adopt program: foster applications are only for fosters who are absolutely NOT interested in adopting. And, since adoption applicants have priority over fostering applicants, it is also best if you attend the event 45-30 minutes before its end to avoid waiting to find out which pets are still available to foster.

Kittens younger than 7 months old: $130
Cats 7 months old or older: $50

We may contact you the same day or within 3 days, the calls only take 10-20min. IF you submit an application and have not received communication from a Volunteer within this time frame, please call or emails us @ 619-977-3593/animalrescuers@sbcglobal.net Once your application is processed and approved we will send an e-mail with documents explaining what we need applicants to gather and have ready and prepared with them the day of the meet/greet or adoption event to help facilitate the process and allow same day adoptions, should the meet and greet go well. Adoption applications are transferred to other rescues should you decide not to adopt the dog/cat you sublimed the application for and have a better connection with someone else. If the rescue you apply for has been adopted, you can transfer the application to a different rescue if you see/meet someone you are interested in. Foster to adopt trials are available mostly for dogs/cats 6mo of age and older. Typically 6mo-1yr is a one week trial and 1yr/adults and over can be 1-2 week foster to adopt trial. Foster to adopt trial applicants need to submit ADOPTION applications (not foster applications) we only need foster applications if there is NO WAY you are interested in adopting. Foster to adopt trials can only be done if the rescue you are interested doesn’t have other applicants interested in adopting him/her. We recommend adopters to come towards the first hour of the event and for fosters or foster to adopt families to come in towards the last 1.5 hour of the event to spend time with the rescues and see who is available to be fostered/foster to adopt. You can find individual information of the rescues, history and adoption fees by reading the rescues biographies online. It will help explain what homes are best suited for each rescue. We Promptly will starting breaking down at 2pm so we hope you can make it by 1pm to have enough time to meet with the dogs/cats you are interested in. *almost everyone could use a foster family and pups/kittens under 6mo of age are able to be fostered if they are still With us at the end of the event. Thank you and please e-mail with any questions or concerns.

Puppies, puppies and MORE puppies attending this event. We are hosting a small PUPPY adoption event where ALL ARWOB dogs under the age of 1yr of age will be attending. For exact puppy attendance click the 'animal attendance' list. If you'd like to adopt same day as the event (we do NOT place holds on rescues) we HIGHLY recommend you submit a dog adoption application online at ARWOB.org ASAP the sooner the better to give plenty of time for review and to be contacted. We give priority to approved applicants who are READY to adopt. The pups attending are healthy up to date on ALL medical and are more than READY to go home. Adopters are given priority to adopt. If you are looking to foster OR foster to adopt we recommend you attend to meet the pups (and us!) we can talk about the process and we also recommend you submit applications online if looking to hopefully get started that same day, otherwise you can stop by and meet them and go home if you'd like to move forward. Why submit an application ahead of the event? To help simplify the process and make sure your application is approved before you stop by. Note- Adopters are given priority over a certain rescue vs foster to adopt trials. If you are looking to foster to adopt a pup, please submit the ADOPTION application and just comment you are looking to foster the pup first. Foster applications are ONLY for those who'd like to join our foster program and help foster (host temporarily) current and future rescue dogs

Come on down and meet our Resident Cat Adoption Center felines, as well as a couple of our fostered kitties, who will be attending the event. IF there is a cat NOT listed as attending, but you'd like to meet it, please submit an application online for review. If approved, we would be happy to bring the kitties that applicants have requested to meet (i.e. cats currently in foster homes). We recommend you submit an adoption application before Friday to give enough time for adoption counselors to call and follow up with your application to talk about the adoption process. This helps applicants potentially adopt the same day of the event, assuming the meet and greets go well and applicant and feline(s) have a good connection between one other. If the meet and greet does not go well — let’s face it, sometimes kitties don't show well at events — applicants are welcome to request a one week foster to adopt trial. This will ensure an adopter will get to really know the kitty’s personality before finalizing an adoption. Sometimes you just know he or she is THE one for you, OR you can also chat with our fosters/volunteers who know the kitty’s personalities very well. They can help answer questions and tell you about their TRUE personalities at home. This way you can rest assured if we believe the kitty is a lap cat or very outgoing, but they do not show that at the event. You can rest assured when he/she goes home, you will see what we see as to their true personalities. :) NOTES: 1) Anyone looking to foster to adopt needs to submit an ADOPTION application NOT a foster application. Just include a comment on your application that you'd like to foster to adopt first. 2) You only need to submit ONE application. Should you submit for kitty X but you end up meeting several kitties and have a better connection with kitty Z, we can just transfer that application over. There is NO need to resubmit multiple applications for different cats. 3) Priority is given to adopters versus fosters, or foster to adopt applicants. However, if we don't have inquiries for adoption, then we can move forward with a foster to adopt trial. 4) WE ALSO NEED FOSTER HOMES DESPERATELY! This is perfect for applicants who are not ready to adopt, but would like to help by ONLY fostering cats (providing a temporary home) to one or more cats in their home. Supplies are provided and fostering can take a couple of weeks or a couple of months. We are flexible to making accommodations if foster parents plan to travel, have weekend plans, etc., so fostering doesn't affect their travel schedule. 5) Home checks and landlord approval does apply for both fosters and adopters. If you are unable to provide either of these items or have privacy issues, please DO NOT submit an application online. We recommend you contact other rescue groups, who don't request this information, as they may be better matched for your situation. This way we save time for both you and our volunteers. We do NOT place holds on our rescues. We hope you can make this adoption event! We have some AMAZING, healthy, loving, and MORE THAN READY kitties who are WAITING to find their forever or temporary families. Applications can be submitted at ARWOB.org

Dog and Cat adoption Event! We only hold one adoption a month. Perfect time to meet all the attending dogs and cats without having to submit an application in order to meet them, you can just stop by and meet them in person. Go home, submit an application and we can follow up as soon as later that same day and adopt as soon as the next day! If you like to attend the event AND adopt on the same day we recommend you submit an application for review NO LATER than Thursday evening 8/11/22 to have enough time for a volunteer to contact you and start the adoption process. Don't know WHO you like to adopt? NO PROBLEM! You just stubmit an application for a dog or cat and let us know on the comments you choose that particular dog or cat BUT are open to adopt anyone you meet at the event and have a connection with. Once you submit an application for ANY dog or cat you don't have to resubmit another application later on. For example you submit for X rescue but when you met you had a better connection and would like to adopt Y rescue instead, NO PROBLEM! As long as the application is approved and there is no other applicant ahead of you. Click our adoption attendace to see the dogs and cats attending. If there is a dog/cat you'd like to meet but see they are not attending please submit the application for it so we can review and contact you and we will make sure to have that rescue attend as well. Are you interested in trying it out before finalizing an adoption? NO PROBLEM! You need to submit the ADOPTION application and just make sure to let us know on your application you are interested in fostering the dog/cat FIRST before adopting to make sure you are a good match. This is what we call our "Foster to adopt trial" FTA FTAs are not typically approved for kittens and puppies but at this time we have so many rescues that we are happy to open this program to any of our rescues. Do know that if we have adopters interested in the same dog/cat you are interested in we do give priorities to adopters. If you'd like to ONLY FOSTER with no intent to adopt, please submit our foster application. We recommend future fosters attend the events towards the end probably the last 30-60min of the event to meet all the dogs/cats who were not adopted and in need of fosters. We are in desperate need of fosters so we hope we see you there!

Looking to adopt or foster a dog? Perhaps doing a foster to adopt trial (FTA) if you answer yes to any of these questions then please STOP BY this amazing event. If you can't find the right match for you and your family through our organization then we KNOW you will be able to find it through another amazing rescue group attending. About 20 RESCUE grousp attentin, how cool is that?! Do know, if you are looking to adopt the day of the event and go home with a new family member we HIGHLY recommend you submit an adoption application days ahead of the event to give volunteers time to review and follow up with you. The adoption process can be fast or slow. If you are a renter and already have landlord written approval then the process can be faster, if you don't have a problem with home checks in a form of a video, it simplifies the process. So, we can go as fast as applicants are ready but the biggest factor is scheduling a phone interview once a volunteer has reviewed your application for a 10-15min phone interview to make sure we can approve an application for adoption. Not all rescues are matched for all applicants. Adoptions are also based on how the meet and greets go. Meets can be scheduled BEFORE events as well but if the meet and greet is during an event and it doesn't go well and you realize you have a better connection with another rescue dog under our care you are more than welcome to transfer that application to him/her as long as another applicant is not ahead of you in their interest for that dog. We do NOT place holds on rescues and recommend you ONLY submit an application to adopt when you feel ready to adopt. We do give priority to adopters ahead of fosters or foster to adopt trials. BUT if there is NO interest for adoption for the dog you are inquiring about then you are more than welcome to foster to adopt trial with him/her which on average can be 1-2 weeks to get to know that rescue dog. The holidays are coming and if we haven't found forever homes towards the end of the event or after the event then please make sure to request Foster to adopt trials OR to foster ONLY a dog especially if you are not ready to adopt but would love a companion to care for while it finds its forever home. ALL our dogs are sterilized (some may be pending but are already prescheduled appointments and their surgery is included with the adoption fee) all our rescues are microchipped, vaccinated and UTD on any medical they have needed. Adoption fees can be found on each individual bioagraphy. We hope to see you at the event BUT if you are afraid to miss out on an adoption don't wait! Submit an application ASAP and we can schedule a meet and greet in the 92117 area. WE DO NOT SCHEDULE MEETS FRIDAY BEFORE THE EVENT THANK YOU

National Adoption Weekend- Cat ONLY adoption event
Saturday November 12th, 2022 11:00 AM until 02:00 PM
Location: PetSmart in Clairemont (858) 300-6501
Map: 4253 Genesee Ave San Diego CA 92117

If you are looking to adopt or foster to adopt OR foster a feline friend, then come on down to our CAT ONLY adoption event! Held inside the Petsmart store on 4253 Genesee Ave 92117 We will have 20 plus kitties on site. Meet the feline residents of our Cat Adoption Center (CAC) which is the room inside the Petsmart where we have kitties available for adoption residing for typically a 2 month rotation (we have a new batch of kitties as of 10/20/22) AND if they are not adopted by 12/20/22 we will be in need of a foster family for them to spend the holidays or until adopted which can be a couple of weeks or couple months. We will also have feline rescues who are living in foster homes to attend this event. Some foster parents will be on site to help answer questions you may have. We give priority to Adopters, secondary would be foster to adopt trials (FTA) families and lastly of course for foster ONLY homes. We do NOT place holds on rescues. If you are looking to adopt a cat we recommend you submit an application ahead of the event for a volunteer to have plenty of time to review and communicate with you (typically schedule a phone interview) to make sure your application has been processed and is APPROVED for adoption. Once you are approved it makes the process pretty simple as its just about stopping by the event and meet the kitties. Applicants have priority to adopt the kitty they apply for HOWEVER if the kitty you apply for is not well matched or you meet with it and don't have a connection, you are welcome to meet the others to see if you find the right companion for you. We do same adoptions ONLY when applicants have been approved and is unlikely you can be approved to adopt by just submitting an application onsite,, we can start the process but you likely would need to come back to finalize an adoption so if time is not a factor for you, then we recommend to just stop by and meet the kitties and if you like someone then go home and submit an application to adopt. If time is a factor then we recommend you submit ahead of the scheduled event. Our process is simple but we will make sure we advocate for our rescues before sending them to a new home. If home checks, landlord approvals and interviews are too much of a inconvenience then we recommend you stop by our local san diego shelters like the San Diego Humane society to meet your new family members. Most of our rescues have been with us for weeks or months so we know them well We know who would be ok with dogs or other cats or children. ALL our cats are sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated (most fully and done with the series), tested for Felv and Fiv and are negative. If any of our feline friends are positive for it, you will know by checking their biography. Their adoption fees are also found on each kitties biography. We hope you can stop by and meet them to help us get them either to FOREVER homes or TEMPORARY foster homes for the Holidays :)

Looking to adopt a dog or a cat? Excellent! Stop by to meet our rescues attending. Dogs will be outside the store Cats will be Inside the store We will have foster dogs attending as well as foster cats AND of course you will be able to meet the resident cats of our Cat Adoption Center (CAC) which is found inside the Petsmart store. IF you'd like to meet and adopt the same day we highly recommend to submit an application online ASAP to give volunteers enough time to review your applications, schedule a phone interview and go through the adoption process so applicants can come prepared to the event. The only thing left would be for you to come down and meet them animal(s) you are interested in and if the meet goes well and would like to adopt then could do so the same day (assuming approved to adopt) - IF you apply for someone but have a better connection with a different rescue dog or cat you are welcome to transfer the application to that other dog/cat which of course its assuming there isn't an applicant already ahead of you for that rescue dog/cat. IF you prefer to just stop by the event to meet the rescues and see if you have a connection with anyone, that works too! You can then go home and at your leisure submit an application online however, do know, we do NOT place holds on rescues. Please, only submit applications to adopt if you will be ready to adopt right away or within a week of submission, otherwise we recommend applying when getting closer to the time you would be ready to adopt. Adoption process: Submit application, schedule phone interview, if approved we will need a checklist of items to be collected by the applicant to have ready and with them the day of the meet and greet ei landlord approval etc in order to adopt. All our rescues are sterilized, microchipped, have received vaccines/dewormings/flea prevention and any other necessary diagnostics needed (if applicable)in some cases fecals, blood work, heartworm/tick born disease testing, etc. You can find adoption fees on the biographies of each rescue.
