10. Robby
Adult (3 years 6 months) · Male · Golden Retriever / Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat) · 16 mi from Chula Vista




Looking to adopt a 'special' case? Thank goodness!Robby (fka Robin) came to us from Ensenada (baja) the first week of October and is currently staying at casa de ARWOB and living among several other adoptable rescue dogs and cats. Robby is a huge baja mutt which means he looks like a Golden, oversized Spaniel and some say Pyr. The likelyhood of a Pyr runnign the streets is minimal but we have not done (and will not be doing) a DNA test so these breeds are just from aesthetics and a bit on personality. Robby was rescued by someone who lives in Ensenada, Mexico back in february. He was skin and bones, was unable to move during a rainy day as he was under an embackment it took a bit to secure him as he was very weak and getting down to him and up was an ordeal for the good sams but they knew this dog needed help and were not going to leave without him.
Read more about Robby
Euthanasia or saving it did not matter, he needed help. Once secured took him to a vet who weigh him at only 20kgs (very thin and almost no muscle mass) the rescuers kept him and helped him recover. Fast fwd months they seeked help to adopt him out or move him to a group with no luck. An ARWOB rescue partner heard of his plea and helped get him going ei neuter etc in september and then he came to San Diego where he landed at casa de ARWOB. What we realized is this pup is VERY heavy. Not sure if its lack of excercise where he was or too much "love" and over conpensated for his lack of nutrition before. When Robin (now called Robby) arrived san diego he was 69 pounds. As of late October he is now 65 pounds. Measured meals and just running/walking mostly around the yard with fellow arwob dog friends is really getting him down and we have noticed a significant improvemnt on his movement. At first we did not know if he was an older dog or perhaps just obese. We can say this guy can walk and use stairs no problem, he will play around the yard with his dog friends and LOVES to be part of a pack of humans or dogs. However, we believe he likely has an old injury (ies) either his hips, hind legs or knees. We are debating taking xrays as whatever it is it will NOT be fixable. The people who helped this dog likely never noticed maybe back then at a thin size and recovering he moved more and now that he is a big boy and is slowly loosing weight perhaps we will see an increase in his activity BUT for now, we do NOT see this guy as somone who can go on miles a day on a walk. MAYBE one mile or just whatever amount of walk/movement he wants in the yard interacting with dogs but if you are looking for long distance or high intensity movement partner this guy is not going to be it. Ideally an easy going home who wants an easy going companion would be the best for him. IF we do xrays likely will be done early November so we can have more info for potential adopters should this movement be a factor for someone to choose him. Robby is a silly goofy, easy going, gentle dog who is a really good dog and human companion. He has zero issues with dogs. He is not a socialitite with people and its a slow warming up but from the interactions we have seen within a few minutes of walking or saying hi he warms up to humans, just do not expect waggy tail approaching for pets from him when he first meets you...once you are his human either foster or adopter then YES he is all waggy tails and lovely boy who seeks human attention without an iota of separation anxiety. He is doing great on potty and crate training. In ensenada he was in a home with cats, we don't know how 'good' he was with them. At casa de ARWOB he does not interact with cats on his own. We think a cat who holds its ground and is NOT a scary cat ei runs from him will be fine. He seems safe BUT he can also really observe him so we can't say completely if he is going to be well paired with cats. If anyone interested in him has cats, we are happy to expose him more and observe him more with cats to see if he is chill or not. It will also be very cat pers

11. Ringo
Adult (2 years 11 months) · Male · Terrier / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat) · 16 mi from Chula Vista



Looking to adopt a gentle yet fun soul? Perfect! Ringo is a handsome solid colored mutt. Focus on the mutt wording. He comes to us from ensenada as a owner relinquishment. He was bought as a pup by a couple 3yrs ago. Once they separated 6mo ago they rehomed him to someone. That someone passed him to a local indie rescuer in Ensenada back in July because they are moving and now this cutie is under ARWOB care in san diego. He is the new kid on the block and so far he has been pretty amazing. Gentle, very dog friendly and playful with all dogs. He really does have puppy energy, shy at first but pretty quick to open up to them.
Read more about Ringo
He can be insecure at first with people but it only took a day for him to trust his new caretaker. He is crate trained and with his thin long legs and slender built he likely would be an amazing excercise partner. He is you typical small breed energy, silly, playful, loving and a terrier who probably has some sort of poodle BUT we have no idea meaning, we have no idea if he is hypoallergenic, he DOES shed like any other dog. If you are looking for a none shedder and hypo dog, he likely is not it. As of October he is fostered at casa de ARWOB along with many other adoptable dogs and cats. He has received most or all of her vet care here in san diego. He only spends time with the felines supervised when in the home but so far we can say he is pretty safe around cats. Very dog friendly and social towards humans, fairly gentle until he knows you then he has no personal space towards them, ha ha. Ringo is certainly a good gentle soul who is friendly and playful. Interested? Submit an application online at ARWOB.org so we can text or email to schedule a call once we receive an application. If the bio is still up it means he is still available for adoption. Check ARWOB.org for adoption events (we rarely hold events and prefer to do one on one meet ups at a community park for neutral meets with a very flexible schedule for meets during daylight hours) EMAIL us with any further questions or to speed the process submit an application, Pooches Gracias!

12. Nala
Young (6 months) · Female · Dachshund / Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 16 mi from Chula Vista







Looking to adopt a social butterfly? Excellent! Nala is a beautiful brindle colored mutt. Focus on the mutt wording. She comes to us fromt he streets of Tijuana as a street pup. She has been in San Diego since September and has received most or all of her vet care here in san diego. Currently fostered at 'casa de arwob' meaning along with several adoptable dogs and cats. Her BFF is Robby but Pickles, Carmie and Happy are her buds too. She only spends time with the felines supervised when in the home but she is very playful in their face kinda pup so she is best paired with a cat who is secured of itself and not a scardy cat who will run when a pup comes full throttle of excitement to say hi, she is safe around kitties but very playful, of course adopters can slow intro on both species.
Read more about Nala
She adores humans and dogs. Healthy, small breed baja mutt which means she is likely a super mutt with a large and small breed combined to have a small medium breed as we suspect she MAY reach 20lbs. She has a low rider body ei long and short legs with a LONG strong waggy tail. She is very playful, active and perfect for an active household. She is crate trained and just a bundle of joy. Interested? Submit an application online at ARWOB.org so we can text or email to schedule a call once we receive an application. If the bio is still up it means she is still available for adoption.

20. Creed
Adult (1 year) · Male · French Bulldog / Boston Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Chula Vista






Meet Creed! He is a one year old, 25-lbs, half Frenchie, half Boston Terrier, and 100% cuddle nugget. He loves to just be near you and will plop down nearby in whichever room you’re in. He enjoys couch snuggles and will settle down quickly by your side or in your lap. He sleeps well alone in his bed but definitely prefers to be by your side. He is a respectful little shadow. Creed may be a little anxious and cry a bit when left at home alone initially, but he quickly learned his foster mom’s routine within a few days and now just naps in his bed or on the couch while she’s at work. He is also a little protective of his bed, treats, and foster mom around his foster brother. He is working on this but can be corrected and redirected relatively easily. Creed is very trainable and has learned to not bolt out open doors until his foster mom gives the “ok”. He is working on basic commands and has learned “sit” and has almost learned “down”, all in one week! He is:

29. Rylo
Puppy (9 months) · Male · Border Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 11 mi from Chula Vista








MEET RYLO!
9 months old
Chihuahua / Border Terrier mix
Male
19 lbs
Sweet, playful & full of love!
Meet
Rylo
, an adorable 9-month-old pup with a BIG personality packed into his little 19-pound body! Rylo is a happy, energetic, affectionate boy who loves being around his people. He has tons of love to give and is always ready for cuddles, kisses, playtime, and adventures.
Rylo is
very friendly and playful
and would love a home where he has plenty of room to burn off his puppy energy. A home with a yard would be wonderful for him, or he may enjoy having another playful dog around to keep him company and help tire him out!
❤️
ABOUT RYLO:
Read more about Rylo
Friendly, affectionate, and playful
High-energy and loves to run and play
Loves cuddling and sleeping with his people
Could enjoy having a playful dog friend
Has lived in apartments before, but would love more space
Surprisingly loves bath time and is super easy to bathe!
Smart and a quick learner
Sweet-natured and not aggressive
Rylo is still working on his
potty training
. His previous home allowed him to potty indoors and on the balcony, so he is learning a completely new routine. He is making progress, but his future family will need to continue working with him, give him frequent potty breaks, and be patient while he learns. He may also have an occasional excited pee when he gets really happy.
Cats:
Rylo has been living with three cats. He means them no harm, but when he gets excited, he wants to jump, run, and play, which can be overwhelming for cats. A home without cats may be the easiest fit unless the cats are confident and accustomed to energetic dogs.
People & Kids:
Rylo does well with people. He can sometimes bark when meeting someone new or around young children, but he responds well to correction and has already been improving. He can actually be a bit of a scaredy-cat himself sometimes! Underneath all that puppy excitement is a very sweet boy who wants to feel safe and loved.
Rylo’s current family loves him and hoped they could make things work, but living in a one-bedroom apartment with three cats simply isn’t the best environment for his energetic personality. They want to find him a home where he can
run, play, continue learning, and get all the love and attention he deserves.
❤️
Rylo is still just a puppy with so much potential. With some consistency, patience, exercise, and continued training, he is going to make an amazing companion.
Interested in giving Rylo his forever home?

Bringing a dog home to your cat
Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.
Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
