Due to housing issues, Calvin was surrendered to the shelter by his owner back on September 12th. The owner was kind enough to leave very helpful information about Calvin that helps us with placement. Calvin is good with all people. He lived with teenagers, small children and babies. He lived with both male and female dogs and cats! Sadly, he mostly lived outside and can be easily scared with loud noises like fireworks and thunder. Calvin seems to walk well on the leash and rides nicely in the car.

Calvin had a tumor like growth on his face that the shelter had removed. They believe it was a lipoma and has recovered nicely. We were able to get Calvin out of the shelter when it was getting close to his time to run out because a foster stepped up for him. He is being fostered with other dogs, so we'll get to know more about him. He just arrived to us on October 22nd, so as we learn more, we'll update his bio.

If you are interested in meeting Calvin, please fill out and application at labradrorsandfriends.org. Calvin is located in Southern California.

About Rupert:Good with dogs and catsNeuteredMicrochippedCurrent on vaccinesAfter everything Rupert has been through, he deserves a home where he will never have to wonder if someone is coming back for him. Adoption fee: $450Applications at http://www.secondleashonlife.org/1-2 years oldhttps://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02AxhrdRMsAh5BXEQvicerHYsK5SSTPukpqpoLjZJPGgG3NCZxwDw8WdAp6npmFCbFl&id=100006429525698&mibextid=wwXIfr

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

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.

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.
