Description:
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 Scout!As of 5/14/24 this handsome boy is the lastone standing of the 3 siblings. His 2 sisters have been adopted and now we are looking for a family to adopt this intelligent and so loving pup. Scout is 20 pounds and fully vaccinated, neutered and READY to go home!Currently staying at casa de ARWOB and sharing the home with other arwob foster dogs and cats. Scout is crate trained and is working on his potty training. If he has open access to the yard he will go outside to potty, otherwise, be ready to pupy train, We are seeking adopters who are looking for an active breed who have done research on the breed both intelligence and energy level. Scout is like any other puppy, active, loving, social and ready to learn! He knows how to sit and will need normal puppy training and socialization so he can grow up to be a well behaved teen and a fantastic adult dog when full grown. He would enjoy other dogs in the home but is not a must as long as adopters are planning on keeping him socialized daily or weekly with other canine friends. He is wonderful with children and does well with cats when introduced properly. To schedule a meet and greet in the 92111 area please submit a dog adoption applicaiton online, we don't currently have adoption events and as a foster based organization we depend on applications submitted to get the ball rolling on the adoption process. Questions? email [email protected] Original rescue story:Meet Military babies! Scout, Justice and Freedom! Well, aside from the obvious name theme for a breed who often serve as military dogs, their rescue story also determined their names. This trio of siblings were rescued the last week of January when a rescuer happened to be driving on a dirt road while running errands. She and her husband noticed a very young pup on the side of the road wondering in/out of the bushes scared trying to figure out his way. They pulled over, coaxed him to them and checked things out. He was unharmed but very thin and flea infested. They looked around to see if he belonged to anyone or to see if there was an adult dog or other pups. Nothing was seen or heard so they had to go. Scout was placed in the car and fed (as rescuers they always have food in their car) and he ate voraciously and fell asleep until they were running errands and took him to a local vet for a quick check up. From there took him home. They decided to drive back to the same area the next day, double back as its typica to find more siblings and hopefully a parent that may need assistance and rescue as well. To their surprise they found 2 other pups, both females, first little Freedom and a few moments later Justice appeared. Both also visibly dirty and thin. They decided to drive around and a mile later found a property and realized they belonged to a home. Unfortunately, not a great home. Scout, Freedom and Justice belonged to a dog owner who actually owns both parents and both are Belgian Malinois. Its visible those dogs also needed assistance. Thankfully they relinquished the pups as its obvious they are struggling to feed the dogs and their property is not secured. Scout was very smart in leaving and seeking help, as the girls to follow. The 3 pups are fostered in Ensenada, Mexico. As of 3/20 they are fostered by their rescuer and are healthy steadily gaining weight. They were approx. 7 weeks when rescued at 5 pounds each and as of 3/20 are now 12-15 pounds and like all Belgians will grow to be in the 45-55 pound range a nice medium size breed.
