Goliath.'s 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 Goliath! Goliath aka Golie is such a FANTASTIC puppy! Technically he is a teenager and will be entering adulthood in a couple of months and we hope he finds his forever family before the Holidays arrive. Golie was rescued off the streets of Baja where her mom had given birth to a litter of 8 pups. We are still looking for families for several of his siblings and if you are looking to adopt a pair of excellent friends/siblings then take a look at Gias biography as Gia and Golie are a great pair! Goliath's mom is 40lbs and all white, we do not know who the father(s) would be for Golie but many people have different opinions when they see Goliath, some think he is an anatolian shepherd, some see Mastif, some see Corso and well, there are NO corso or mastiffs running the streets of Ensenada sooo we will just say shepherd mix ha haGolie has been staying at casa de ARWOB since May 2025 and poor guy can't find a family of his own and he is just a great dog! He has such a wonderful soul. He ADORES all humans, men, woman and kids alike. He is PERFECT with all dogs and one of the dog parks favorites. All the dogs rotate to meet golie from the smallest of dogs to the largest. He is good with submissive or alpha personality dogs and sadly he ADORES small breeds but too many hate poor golie and take advantage of him, its sad and funny to see this big boy on the ground belly up trying to make friends with the smalls while they just keep bullying the poor guy. Goliath is crate trained but does best inside it at night and only short stints during daylight, he would need to be well excercised before he is placed in a crate as most teenagers and shephers personalities. He is not a barker but has a mighty bark when he does. He is easily excitable when there are visitors at home and adores greeting them BUT a large 55 pounds storng pup coming at puppy to greet them can be either intimidating to some or you need to grab ON to something close by hence anyone interested in adopting this handsome loving active and VERY intelligent dog should take dog training seriously so you can have a well mannered strong dog as he becomes an adult. Golie is VERY (underlined and in BOLD letters) food motivated and with the biggest drive to learn. He is excellent at sitting and will STAY inside the car before he jumps out when asked which is great. Golie is also amazing with cats, well, he can be too much for scardy cats as he will want to greet them but he is absolutely safe around all cats even small kittens. He likes to play with his water bowl and has no fear of the rain. READY for adoption and currently also searching for a foster. Also, inquire about our foster to adopt trails! ARWOB is not holding adoption events at this time and if serious and interested in possibly adopting this rescue dog we request adoption applications are submitted on our home page at ARWOB.org once received we will text or email to schedule a call in the hopes we can move fwd to schedule a meet and greet. We do NOT place holds on rescues, only submit applications if ready to adopt. Typically adoptions are the same day of scheduled meet and greets assuming it goes well and there is a connection between both parties. The adoption process can be quick as soon as the next day or two OR up to a week depending on the rescue inquiring and applicant getting everything in order like landlord approval, etc. If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application.

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.
