My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Owen, your playful new best friend!

A volunteer found him on the streets with no ID tag or microchip. He was taken to the vet for a checkup and then to a foster mom. We suspect he belonged to a family and got lost. Unfortunately, with no ID tag or microchip the owners couldn't be found. He got fixed, received all his vaccinations, and now he is a healthy doggy, ready to find his forever loving family.

Owen is still in his puppy phase, which means he’s full of playful energy and curiosity. He might steal your socks or nibble your feet when he’s excited, but don’t worry —he’s not aggressive. He is just very playful and learning to resist those puppy temptations. With a little training and some time to mature, Owen is going to grow into an amazing companion.

Owen gets along great with other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats. He loves walking around town and is happiest when he ends up at an outdoor restaurant where he can nap and relax under the table. He doesn’t beg for food.

He is great on leash, and goes potty outdoors. He goes on daily walks with a dog walker and a pack of dogs.

Owen is active; therefore, a family with another active and friendly dog would be a huge plus as he likes company. He would love to join his future family on hiking or other outdoor activities.

Owen deserves a forever loving family. Submit your application at www.drwb.org if you’re interested in meeting him..

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Step 1
Fill application at our website

Step 2
Submit your adoption application to us. It may take a few days before your application is processed and you receive a response back.

Step 3
If your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a "Meet & Greet".

If we have an upcoming adoption event.

We will set a time for you to come meet the dog that day, usually on Saturdays. Please make sure you take any family members and other dogs to see how the initial introduction goes.

If we DON’T have an upcoming adoption event.

And you have other dogs:
We will schedule to meet you, any family members, and other dogs near your home first; this makes the entry into the new home easier for the dog and for your family.

And you don’t have any other dogs:
We will schedule to meet you and any family members at your home.

Step 4
Meet your prospective new pet. Spend time with them and see how it goes.

Step 5
If your "Meet & Greet" goes well and you wish to adopt; you will complete an adoption contract at the appointment. We ask for a suggested adoption donation to help us cover spay/neutering, shots, medical treatment, food, supplies and temporary care. These suggested donation amounts only partially cover the cost of expenses involved. Your donation is tax deductible. It’s that easy!

Step 6
Take your new best friend home! Congratulations – you have saved a special life.

What if the adoption doesn't work out?
You can return any of our dogs as we don't want to see them turned into a shelter. The application process helps prevent such an issue, so it's very important that you are honest when answering the questions.

Not all dogs are compatible in all situations, so it is imperative that you are forthright in the application process to find the right match. However, be sure you are ready to make a full commitment to adopting a dog, whether a puppy or an adult.

It can take up to a few weeks for a dog to really adjust to his/her new environment. A lot really depends on the dog's past so the prospect of adopting should be well-thought-out & the commitment should be taken seriously.

Go meet their pets

Our pets are all cared for in foster homes. While in foster care, their foster family is making sure they receive lots of tender loving care and have any veterinary needs taken care of. This also gives the foster family an opportunity to learn about the dog's personality, so we can better assist you in selecting a dog that will be the best fit for you and your family.
