Zoey'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 Zoey! Update 3/25/26 - From Zoey’s foster family: Meet this sweet girl, Zoey! This 20 pound pup is as loving as they come and truly thrives on being part of your everyday life. She loves being around people and is happiest when she is included in whatever you are doing, whether that is relaxing at home or spending time with family. Her favorite place to be in the morning is curled up right on your lap, soaking in all the snuggles she can get. She has the perfect balance of playful and calm, enjoying her playtime but equally loving quiet moments where she can cuddle up close. She does wonderfully with adults, kids, and dogs of all sizes and ages, making her an easy addition to just about any home. Her sweet and gentle nature shines through in everything she does, and she brings a warm, comforting presence wherever she goes. Like any puppy, she has a curious side and enjoys exploring the world around her, but her loving and snuggly personality is what truly stands out. If you are looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will happily be your cuddle buddy and your shadow, this sweet girl is ready to find her forever home. Original Rescue Story: This beautiful pup comes to us from the streets of Tijuana Mexico. She has a total of 6 litter mates. Her mom is full grown at 45 pounds and as of 3/20/26, Zoey is 20 pounds. We believe she will be a nice large sized pup when full grown, probably in the 50-70 pound range. If you are looking to adopt a young pup and have the work/school schedule that will allow you the necessary time for puppy training, we would love for this sweetheart to find a forever family that will enjoy her during her young states of life! Zoey is the largest of the litter and of the females. Her brother Pickles is the second largest pup and also the biggest of the boys. Zoey is one of the sweetest, easy going, and most loving pups. She stays away from puppy drama, although sometimes SHE does start it and then walks away. She is a typical happy, playful, outgoing, and silly puppy. As of 3/22/26, she is fully vaccinated and spayed. She is healthy and READY to go home to her new family! This litter was fostered from 2/12 to 3/20 in a home with adults, children, and large breed dogs with a yard setting. As of the end of March, we moved most of the family to a different foster, but Adele and her sister Zoey continue to live with the same foster family in the 92130 zip code. However, meet and greets can be scheduled in the 92130 area OR in the 92111 area once an online application has been submitted and reviewed for approval – at that time we can determine which area meets the needs of the applicant. Would you like to meet Zoey? Please submit an online application TODAY at www.arwob.org . Or you can contact us via phone or email for inquiries. We look forward to hearing from you and we know that Zoey is dying to meet you! 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.
