My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Winter! Winter is a one-year-old male Husky looking for his furever home. Winter is super smart. He can sit and shake. Winter loves toys. He loves playing fetch and play with sticks. Winter loves other dogs of all sizes. He is not really fond of cats. Winter isn’t fully potty trained as he was kept outside his whole life but he’s catching on quickly. Winter is kennel trained and walks well on a leash. He enjoys car rides and is extremely food motivated. Winter loves children and is incredibly beautiful.

Animal Rescue Recon makes sure that each dog is current on its vaccinations, has been or will be spayed or neutered, and is microchipped to help keep pets out of the shelters and get them back home where they belong.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoptions fees are determined to help recover our expenses put into the dog for vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. The fee is normally $300 and in some cases could be less.

We will perform a home-check and/or require pictures of your yard's fencing & gates.

Typically we do not adopt to families with children under the age of 5 unless we know the history of the dog or have witnessed the animal's exposure and reaction to small children.

If you currently own a pet, controlled introductions will be scheduled.

Renters must provide a copy of their lease agreement which reflects the property's pet policy.

Go meet their pets

Adoptions are held each Saturday at Pet Food Express in Antioch on Lone Tree Way in the Slatten Ranch Shopping Center.

More about this rescue

Animal Rescue Recon, Inc. was established in September 2012 by a group of dedicated, hard-working animal lovers, all with a passion to make a difference and give unwanted animals a second chance.

Based out of Oakley, CA, Animal Rescue Recon serves East Contra Costa County - an area that has minimal options for homeless or abandoned animals.

Our all-volunteer group has various levels of experience in the field of animal rescue, but all have a heart for helping to find forever homes for our voiceless, furry friends. We have no paid staff - we operate solely on volunteers and services donated by members of the community and local businesses.
