Meet Dora!

This beautiful tripawd was lovingly named by her rescuer and original foster parent as they encountered her while they where down in Baja Mexico. This sweetheart approached them seeking food and water which is exactly what they gave her and the opportunity at a new safe life. They noticed she was holding her front leg limping and named her 'Dora the explorer'.

Once in San Diego and seen by our partner veterinarian X-rays showed an old fracture which wouldn't have a great pronostic for recovering and hence amputation was schedule the week before Thanksgiving holiday. Thankfully Dora did amazing post surgery and the next day she was moving around pain free without any difficulty. Dora has no mobility problems And can walk, run and go up and down stairs without problems. She may not be a great partner if you are looking for a running companion but she loves to go camping, RVing, running around at dog beach and the dessert (See videos) 

Dora is great with humans, especially children. Dora is dog friendly and lives with several dogs And children.  She has also lived in a foster home with cats and although she is safe around them she would do best in a home with no cats as she tends to want to
chase if they ran. If the home has very dog friendly cats who hold their ground and are not afraid or skitsh around dogs she may do well in that home, we recommend a foster to adopt
trial for a week to make sure she and the kitties get along. Otherwise she would do best in a home with no cats. She would be happy in a home with other dogs or in a home as the only dog, as long as she continues to be exposed to dog friends frequently Because she enjoys dog friends.

Dora the explorer is house trained and crate trained.
she enjoys toys and benabones. she is a great copilot as she enjoys car rides.
Dora being a tripawd doesn't stop her from walking on any type of surface flooring and is a complete package if you are looking for a great dog to adopt as a new family member. Won't you give this gorgeous girl a chance? she is an underdog as many would consider her a special needs dog but she is nothing but perfect!

More about this rescue

The A.R.W.O.B. group is based in San Diego, CA and operates mostly in Mexico as well as Southern California and will come to the aid of any animal in need which crosses our path. Our belief is to do what we can in order to “Make a difference in their lives.” From experience we have observed and feel the companion animals of Mexico are in the greatest need and accordingly we focus much of our efforts in Baja, Mexico. However, we certainly extend our help to our north of the border critters by accepting relinquished family pets, exiting both dogs and cats from the shelters of San Diego and of course by working in conjunction with other animal rescue groups in the community
