You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please review our Adoption Process before filling out an application.  If you would like to try a Foster to Adopt trial, please fill out an Adoption Application.  If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application.   Meet Lindy! We don't know what breed this beautiful dog is BUT she resembles a rat terrier. She was rescued from Ensenada, Baja, Mexico so she is likely a super mutt with chihuahua and other breeds but she is a perfect size with the most fantastic personality. She is a very young adult likely just 1 to 2yr old and already full grown. She is amazing with dogs, cats and a total love bug towards people. She is crate training and doing really well in the house training. She seems to always pick the same location to go potty in the yard. She is not a barky dog or at least she has not shown us her voice. She does well in car rides and of course she needs normal basic puppy training. She is not as active as the rat terrier pure breeds, just a normal play energy who enjoys romping around with dog friends. We hope we can find a loving forever family for her before the Holidays.Lindy is now fostered at casa de arwob along with fellow foster dogs and cats. If you'd like to meet this amazing dog please submit an application online at arwob.org once we receive an application we will text or email to schedule a call in the hopes we can move fwd to schedule a meet and greet. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application. Dog Adoption Application Cat Adoption Application   PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY  please fill out a short questionnaire in addition to the adoption application.
