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 Frida! update 11/17/25Frida is the most worndeful dog. She is excellent for a first time dog owner as she is an easy to love and care for. She is great with humans, good with dogs and doing well seound with cats she is not interested in them and mostly ignores them. She has been staying at casa de arwob so she cohabitated with multiple dog breeds/sizes and cats. House and crate trained. Not a barker (so far) and only destroys or chews toys (So far lol) she is great in car rides but should be buckled she is tooon excited and loves to stick most of her face/upper body out of window hence bucle her in! ha ha she has been enjoying dog parks abd could be dog park dog or not. She enjoys people companionship. This little Baja mutt is a fantastic sweetheart! She was rescued along with a litter of neonate puppies, who all looked like polar bears and nothing like her. Ha, ha! Her rescuers had her for the first 2 months while she was nursing her pups and then sought help from local rescuers to take the entire family. A local shelter took in the puppies, but Frida did not pass their intake exam as she was too apprehensive and afraid during the exam, so they denied her entry. ARWOB was then contacted and we accepted her into our care. Sadly, on the first day of transport while at the boarding/vet clinic, the staff let go of her leash and off she went. She was lost for 48 hours and she evaded anyone who approached her out of fear. Thankfully she was recaptured. That was in mid-September and we are happy to report that after one month in our care, this little Senorita is now enjoying human attention, socializing, and seeking attention with her sweet little hip sway and wagging tail! Frida is a young adult anywhere from 2-4 years old, who is fairly quiet, does great inside her crate, and has not had any accidents in the house. She has been staying at Casa de ARWOB and has been the easiest dog to care for. We have not had a single problem with her. She is a little timid and hesitant when experiencing new things, but she has learned so much from her “bestie” Tara, another young and beautiful adult dog, who is very outgoing and is a companion that Frida has learned to trust a LOT. Frida is wonderful with all dogs, has a neutral personality, and is just the perfect small/medium sized canine. Being a Baja mutt, she is likely a mix of both large and small breeds. She looks like a mini shepherd. We have not tested her with cats, but believe she would likely be fine with them and can test her upon request. Frida has been fully vetted at our San Diego vet and spayed. She is now ready to find the forever home of her dreams! If you would like to foster or adopt, or request a foster-to-adopt trial, please submit an application online or attend our adoption events in October.

Animal Rescuers Without Borders,Inc.'s Adoption Policy

The A.R.W.O.B. group prides itself on carefully placing animals into responsible and loving homes. We care about the present and future lives of the many unwanted dogs and cats and strive to improve them so they can come to know stability, love and safety. For more information, please visit our website at www.arwob.org. Our adoption procedure is as follows: 1) Adoption Application filed by applicant (visit the applications page to fill one out!). We typically adopt dogs and cats to individuals or families located in San Diego County, Orange County and Los Angeles areas. However, we may consider potential adopters within California, Arizona, and Nevada (within a reasonable driving distance) under certain circumstances. We require that the application be approved ahead of time and a home check must be done via FaceTime Skype (we do not accept videos for this purpose). We would also require the potential adopter to come to San Diego to meet the animal in person and we recommend bringing any current pet(s) to see if they will get along. If the potential adopter opts out of the meet-n-greet with their existing animal(s) and if the new pet does not get along with their existing pets, we would require the adopter to drive back to San Diego to return the animal -- we cannot provide transportation. Our adoptions are time sensitive and our policy is that we do not place holds on any of our rescues. PLEASE NOTE: We have implemented a new policy for those who are currently serving in the military. IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY please fill out a short questionnaire in addition to the adoption application. 2) A play date between the applicant and rescue (dog or cat). An applicant MUST have an APPROVED online adoption application filed BEFORE scheduling a playdate at the animal's foster home.The playdate will ensure that the potential adopter and the dog/ cat they are interested in is the right match. If the dog/cat does not possess the qualities and behavioral traits the applicant is looking for, we can continue the adoption process by meeting another rescued dog or cat. You can also meet the animal you are interested in at scheduled adoption events. Approved applicants have priority to meet an animal over others. Please read the events page for more information about meeting an animal at an event and possibly taking them home afterward. 3) Home checks to ensure the safety of our rescues (If applicable). An ARWOB volunteer will contact you upon approval of your application (and the playdate appointment) to schedule a visit to your home. Here we will take a look at where the cat/dog will be living. Your home and yard must be safe and secure. 4) Adoption Contract and ID from applicant If everything checks out during the homecheck and we believe our rescued dog/ cat will live happily there, we will go ahead and sign the adoption contract to makes the adoption official. 5) Adoption fee Fees are different for both dogs and cats and are based on age and, sometimes, on the breed. Please visit the adoption fees page for a break down of all. 6) Denial of adoption applications We screen all of our adoption applications thoroughly in order to find the perfect home for our rescues. There may be times when we feel the adopter is not a good fit based on the answer to questions on their application. Please know that we vet each applicant with the animal's best interest in mind. In the event that your application is denied, you will receive an email letting you know of our decision. However, we will not be able to answer detailed questions regarding the denial.
