My story

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

Meet Dakota! This sweet 2-year-old terrier mix is a survivor with a heart full of love. She arrived in our care with her newborn puppies from a homeless encampment where life was incredibly tough, and despite everything she’s been through, Dakota is remarkably friendly and potty trained! She may be a little shy at first, but once she gets comfortable, she’ll be your constant companion, following you everywhere. Dakota is playful, energetic, and loves running around with the other dogs, especially as she teaches her puppies the ropes. She's spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her shots. Now all Dakota needs is a loving forever home where she can thrive and share all the affection she has to offer. Will you be the one to give her that?September 29, 2025, 10:37 am

Their adoption process

1.

Interview

Once you find a dog that you would like to meet, reach out via phone/EM and we will notify that dog's foster to contact you.

2.

Meet the Pet

After some preliminary information is gathered and the foster feels it will be a good fit for the dog, they will schedule a meet & greet.

3.

Submit Application

If everyone agrees this is the perfect match, complete the adoption application.

4.

Home Check

A home check will be scheduled. Depending on your location, a detailed video of the yard/fence/gates may be acceptable.

5.

Approve Application

Once the interview, meet & greet, and home check has been complete, the application is reviewed and approved.

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 $450 for puppies 6 months and under, $400 for over 6 months, and $500 for dogs we took in with medical needs.

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

Public adoptions are held at various pet stores in Antioch, Concord or Walnut Creek on alternating Saturday's. Please call or email for upcoming event locations.

Alternately, private appointments may be scheduled during the week, based on foster's availability. Again, please email to schedule.

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.
