Meet Red!

Poor pup, Red was rescued from the street of Ensenada. Mexico 4 years ago and the poor guy has been waiting for EVER for a foster or adopter with no luck. He is staying with his rescuer in baja along many other dogs in the property. He is mostly in the yard with the fellow rescue dogs during the day and crated at night. Forget being a handsome doggo, he is also a sweetheart. We bring him across to san diego once a year to say hi and give him a break from that life and do the vetting. As of 12/1/25 Red has been boarding at the vet clinic where he received a dental (he actually did not have much tartar for a senior cutie so adopters likely won't need to do mnay dentals for him) and his boosters. Continues to be a healthy strong dog and he is now statying at casa de arwob in san diego to get a break and is fostered around other fellow dogs like his besties Cairo, Georgie, lady, Roxy. etc/ He does great with dogs BUT he can be a 'macho' boy towards other 'macho/alphas' meaning he is not matched with a male dog who will growl at him, etc. He has never been in a dog fight and has not shown any reactivity on the leash walks. He is amazing with humans too. Not cat tested yet but does see them and has not reacted. Red is crate trained and although a 'senior' he is VERY playful and would be wonderful companion for someone with a young dog who needs a companion but not another crazy high energy dog. We think he would be a great 'nanny'. Perhaps even a great match for a working couple who want an easier dog who can stay home while on their 9-5 job and want a walking and outting companion or a senior/retiree who wants a larger happy loving dog to just live life. 

We would LOVE to at least find a foster to give him a better life while he waits for his home, we do not know if he could be a dog park dog because of all the personality dogs whho attend dog parks some of which have no control. but he would be a wonderful walking, hiking, camping or home companion. Pretty easy going yet playful and does well in car rides. Sadly, Red will likely go back to Baja before Christmas  so hopefuly we can find a foster SOON!

Come meet him at the adoption event debut 12/13/25 and fall in love! To meet him we can schedule meet and greets in san diego once we receive adoption applications for review we will contact you.

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

Visit our website www.ARWOB.org to learn more about us.
