Sammie aka Sam or Samuel when he is in trouble ha! Sam is a super mutt rescued from Ensenada where he was abandoned in a home with multiple dogs. A super mutt or baja mutt is a dog whom we have NO history of parents and can only base the breed of his looks or personality. If you are interested in the dogs personality vs the breed then keep reading about Sam. You can see his picture and make your own decision about what breed dog you see. Some see shepherd, others beagle, others husky, others border terrier and google tells us all about some exotic dogs who are clearly not from Mexico ha ha
I am currently fostering Sam. He has been with me since early February when he first arrived to San Diego and staying at casa de arwob along with other foster dogs and cats. We know Sam very well. He arrived as a young 15 pound pup and is now mid 20s in the 26 pound range, he has grown but not a lot so we can say he is a nice medium size breed likely will be full grown in the 35-50lb range. If this is the size dog for you, please continue reading.
Sam is house, potty and crate trained at casa de arwob, however, it is likely he will have accidents and need introduction to a new home when he finds a foster or adopter to help her transition to a new home. Sam can be a total ham and sleep, chill, rest NO problem, however, he can ALSO be a HIGH energy active dog when he is playing with the rest of the pack. We can say he is high energy if an adopter is looking for a running/hiking 'lets go' active lifestyle BUT he can also be a normal family dog who will be happy as long as his activity/energy level is met with daily walks, play in the park or in a yard. Sam does well with all dogs, although alpha males in his age range trying to establish dominance are not well matched for him, larger adult alpha dogs are no problem. His best friends currently are of course his sister Rosalie and friends Harry and Antena. Sam is amazing with cats and enjoys their companionship.
Sam will likely do best in a home with a yard if humans works out of the home and he is to be long time alone, UNLESS there is another dog(s) in the home (we think he may do best in a home with another dog even if a senior canine companion or other young friend) if applicant has an apartment setting its best they work from home or he is not expected to be left home alone long periods of time unless he is tired and enrichment left in the crate.
Sam enjoys the pack hikes with arwob dogs, laps and toys....he learned to fetch from his doggy friend Aggie and now he is a PRO at fetching, he loves it!
Sam is social and loving, smart little handsome dude and we are sad he continues to be with us espeially since he is a very heatlhy, handsoms, perfect size dog.
Like all our dogs adopted out, we request adopters to sign up with dog trainers for session classes. Unless you are an experienced dog owner who has gone through dog training classes already in person with a trainer IN CLASS not reading books, videos and online forums. Those are FANTASTIC additions but you can't compare the knowledge a trainer brings to the table to have an amazing well behaved and socialized dog than at some point in your dog ownership time have gone through training. When we have fosters or adopters meet our dogs, holding on that leash is a great tell sign of who has experience training dogs and who has not. For the wellbeing of future dog owners and our dogs staying HOME once adopted, its a small request we have for applicants to take dog ownership seriously. Dog training is of most importance For any dog age and breed. If you agree, please submit an adoption application online to either Adopt or inquire about our Foster to adopt for 2 week trial.
IF you'd like to only FOSTER please, submit the foster application online. We can help more dogs if we can secure our longer term foster dogs in individual foster homes while we take on the newbies who need training from the ground up.

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
