Story
Meet Huski Huski is a 6-year-old gentle soul who has nothing but love to give. He’s the kind of dog who melts into your heart the moment you meet him — sweet, calm, and always ready for a cuddle or a friendly tail wag. He adores children, loves being around people, and enjoys the company of other dogs. He’s been living peacefully with two furry friends, proving just how easygoing and kind he truly is. Sadly, Huski’s world has been turned upside down. His loving owner has passed away. Through no fault of his own, this wonderful boy is now in need of a new home where he can feel safe, loved, and part of a family again. Huski deserves a second chance at happiness — a forever home where he can spend the rest of his years being cherished, just as he cherishes everyone around him. If you would like to meet Huski or learn more about him, please reach out to Marta: martalevison@gmail.com 650-740-0816September 5, 2025, 1:32 pm

Story
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 Foxy!How could we NOT name her that, she is a total fox look alike! This beauty was rescued from the steets of Baja in Ensenada as a pregnant stray. Unfortunately she gave birth before her rescuer could schedule her spay and had 6 pups. As of October the pups reached 2 months old and where able to be moved. The rescuer took mom and her pups to a local shelter and sadly Foxy did not pass the intake exam 'too shy' so they accepted her pups but not her. Her rescuer contact ARWOB and we of course LOVE the underdogs, especially the 'too shy' doggos and accepted her. She is such a lover, she adores humans, she is what we would call more of a 'human dog' than 'dog dog' meaning she seeks human companionship more than she does that of dog friends. She is dog friendly and when she is comfortable with the dogs she meets she will open up and start to play with them, otherwise she just coexists, never has she been aggresive towards any dog. She is a 'let me be, I seek no drama' kinda gal. Exposed to cats and has not had any problems with them either. She is OK with kids, she does prefer adults vs children but she is safe around kids. Crate and mostly house trained. She will need to enroll on normal dog obedience group class so she can learn about 'life as a pet dog' meaning leash walks, walking in groups around dogs, etc. If you like the Schip or Corgi breeds, this girl is as close as they come. We only label her these breeds because of her physical attributes NOT her genetic component, if you are specifically looking for the personality of those breeds, we don't know if she has it as she is likely a super mutt with many breeds none of which are likely those breeds (who knows) BUT this is what she looks like, that and an actual Fox! Foxy as of 11/24 is seeking a foster in central san diego as she has her spay appoinment in north park on 12/1/25 at which point she can then be available for adoption. If you'd like to foster her until then its perfect time to get to know her and perhaps adopt her once she is ready OR just foster her whichever you feel like you are ready for in life. She is a healthy dog who is done with her vetting and will make a wonderful companion. Visit ARWOB.org to submit applications online, once we receive an application we will contact you via email or text to schedule a call and talk about our process in the hopes of moving fwd with 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.
