Story
Meet Owen, your playful new best friend! A volunteer found him on the streets with no ID tag or microchip. He was taken to the vet for a checkup and then to a foster mom. We suspect he belonged to a family and got lost. Unfortunately, with no ID tag or microchip the owners couldn't be found. He got fixed, received all his vaccinations, and now he is a healthy doggy, ready to find his forever loving family. Owen is still in his puppy phase, which means he’s full of playful energy and curiosity. He might steal your socks or nibble your feet when he’s excited, but don’t worry —he’s not aggressive. He is just very playful and learning to resist those puppy temptations. With a little training and some time to mature, Owen is going to grow into an amazing companion. Owen gets along great with other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats. He loves walking around town and is happiest when he ends up at an outdoor restaurant where he can nap and relax under the table. He doesn’t beg for food. He is great on leash, and goes potty outdoors. He goes on daily walks with a dog walker and a pack of dogs. Owen is active; therefore, a family with another active and friendly dog would be a huge plus as he likes company. He would love to join his future family on hiking or other outdoor activities. Owen deserves a forever loving family. Submit your application at www.drwb.org if you’re interested in meeting him..

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Walter Walter didn’t come to us with a lot—not even a name. He was found in a weed-choked yard after his owners abandoned the property and left several dogs behind. Neighbors did what they could, bringing food when they noticed him still there. But Walter spent who-knows-how-long just surviving. He was matted, dirty, and overlooked—until we scooped him up, cleaned him up, and gave him a new chapter. Now? Walter is a mellow, soulful guy with the kind of presence that makes you slow down a little. He’s not flashy. He doesn’t beg for attention. But if you sit near him, he’ll quietly lean in, like a dog who understands the value of companionship. And if reincarnation is real, we’re pretty sure Walter taught English Literature at a small liberal arts college in his past life—probably wore a tweed jacket with elbow patches and had strong opinions about classic poetry. Walter is looking for a soft place to land—someone who sees beyond the past and wants to be part of his very calm, very lovely future.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 26, 2025, 4:35 pm

We set up meet & greet appointments, do a home visit or send them the address for some meet & greet locations, paperwork and suddenly they said they are not ready or spouse is not ready, etc. These fur kids have a very hard day the day of their appointment. Due to travelling we hold their food, so they won't get car sick. We bath them, some of them are schedule for grooming as you know it is stressful for them; then they have to travel with us picking up other rescued fur kids, and so on, it is a very stressful hard day for them for people to just cancel at last minute or not show up or do show up and just say they are not ready. Our time as well as your time is valuable. Please don't waste valuable time that is so precious for a rescued pet. Every single wasted time is a time that an animal will die because we didn't get to them on time to help them. In addition, of wasting gas and grooming fees which are paid by volunteers. Please take the time to put your shoes in the shoes of the volunteer and most of it to put your shoes on our rescued fur kids!! Please take a minute to tell yourself if you are ready to adopt and for this commitment. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!! Less
