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 Duke! Duke is a sweet boy, who was adopted by a senior couple back in February 2024. Unfortunately, life circumstances changed and this handsome boy needs to come back to ARWOB. We would LOVE to find an adopter for Duke soon, so he can hopefully go from his current family to his new family and bypass the foster system. If you are interested in fostering Duke, we will only consider LONG TERM fosters, which would be someone who is willing to foster him until he is adopted. Otherwise, our priority is to find an adopter asap. If you are interested, please complete an online application right away at www.arwob.org! Here is what Duke's dad has this to say about him as of 3/16/26: “Always a gentleman and very mellow at home, loves people, kids, and affection. Loves park, only time he gets really energetic and pulls on leash. Shy, cautious in new situations/environments, especially if area is noisy.  He has not played with toys and does not retrieve but I know ARWOB had mentioned he did like to play with toys while with them. Duke is dog friendly and will only react if the other dog is reactive, he may also not be a fan of larger than him male dogs, not sure. He loves to be petted and given attention, if people don't give him attention he just ignores them. He is very good at coming when called.  Responds to both English (Duke, come!) and Spanish (Duke, ben!) When left alone, stays in house and sleeps.  At home he is quiet, mild, sleeps in his bed in my bedroom. Duke is mostly indoors, but loves to sun in backyard. He has never jumped fences, rarely barks.”  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application. Dog Adoption Application Cat Adoption Application   PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY  please fill out a short questionnaire in addition to the adoption application.

Story
Meet Dynamite!DOB: September 2022Weight: 60 lbsDisposition: Outgoing, Confident, Fun-lovingHistory: Found on the streets of Afghanistan as a puppy with a mangled leg and rescued by KSAR (Kabul Small Animal Rescue). Brought to TBL in June 2024 during the airlift out of KSAR in Kabul. Eventually Dynamite's leg had to be removed as it couldn't be saved. Being a tripod doesn't slow him down in the least. He's nimble, fast, playful and active. Despite having only 3 legs, Dynamite will make a great walking or hiking companion. This guy has an eternal smile on his face and makes friends immediately with people he meets. He's fun-loving and playful with an enormously happy disposition! No one can have a bad day with Dynamite in the house. Best Home: A active couple or family who's invested in training their dog to teach him the ropes of American life. Dynamite will love Amazing Qualities: Eternal happiness!If you're interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.
