Story
ATTENTION:  All of our dogs are in private foster homes.  We do NOT have a kennel with multiple dogs.  If you find a dog you want to meet in person, please go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and complete an application.    We will make every attempt to process all applications within 3 business days of receipt. // // Baron (called Bo-Bo by his foster family) is a handsome 8-year-old Schnauzer Mix that weighs 16lbs. He is a sweet, easy-going, and soulful guy with balanced playful/calm energy and an irresistible underbite! He is extremely smart, attentive, and eager to please – always checking in with his person to see if he is on the right track with things. He enjoys walks around the neighborhood, chasing squeaky stuffies (he doesn’t destroy them), and snuggling on the couch. Most of all, he is a “people-person” and prefers to stick close with his human. Bo-Bo has a dental scheduled (we are currently fundraising for this) so he will have healthy chompers. He can be a little apprehensive in new settings – new people, sudden movements and sounds can spook him so best to use a reassuring, gentle approach with him. For potty-time, Bo-Bo knows how to use the doggy door, but with another male dog in the house, can occasionally mark – this is usually temporary when adjusting to a new setting. He is good on a leash, calm and relaxed for car rides and behaves nicely during bath time. When it’s time to chill, Bo-Bo would love to cuddle up in bed next to you – UNDER the covers – and sleep all through the night. He is not a fan of being crated. He is a total sweetheart who would benefit from a daily routine, structure and LOVE. He can be somewhat picky with food (but he loves his Just Food for Dogs meals) and he takes treats gently. The best fit for Bo-Bo would be with a loving family/person who is home often and can spend time with him. He would do well with older children who are respectful and gentle – he currently lives with two 8-year-olds and is happy to snuggle with them on the couch or play a game of fetch. He would be good with a doggy pal but might actually prefer to be the only furry object of your affection. As a Schnauzer, he will require regular grooming. He's quite the little furry gentleman and will be a great addition to the family. His adoption fee is $300. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs,   vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to  www.secondchancedogrescue.org  and complete an application today!    All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.  February 9, 2025, 12:30 pm

Story
Koda was a gift during a time of transition and just weeks before we found out we were expecting. Since he was a puppy, he’s always preferred cuddling and has very high energy. For the most part, Koda has been good with the older kids in his life (5-7 yo); however, he doesn’t seem to understand that our newest family member is just not there yet. We’ve tried many techniques to introduce them and he still doesn’t seem to understand. Koda is loved; but, unfortunately, since he doesn’t do well on walks with baby, it has gotten hard to do group family outings and we realize he deserves a companion/family with whom he can be his loving, energetic, and cuddly self. We aren’t charging an adoption fee because we genuinely just want a happy life for him and we are hoping we can find that here. We have gone back and forth between this decision and are saddened to be here, but also very hopeful.

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.   Warning! These little siblings are THE cutest babies both physically and behaviorally. Meet the 'Ro' litter composed of 5 girls and 2 boy total. Rescued mid December off the busy highway that connects Tijuana to Ensenada. Their rescuer noticed a small little head off a sack of potato's laying on the road and thank their lucky guardian angels they noticed that as they pulled over, walked over and realized there were 7 little babies just tossed like trash. Sadly, its a common story in rescue and not the first or last time we encounter these scenarios but we are thankful this time none were harmed and all are now done with their quarantines and vetting which means they are READY for adoption. These pups are baja mutts. They range from largest to smallest in the 6-4 pounds (as of february they are in the 8-10 pound range) and as February approaching 4 months old which means they likely will grow up to be in the 15-25 pound range (prob 20lbs) The pups seem to be a terrier mix, some look more like a doxie and others like wire haired terriers. They have been fostered at casa de ARWOB since the first week of January and are such good little guests. They adore ALL dogs and cats. ALL are energetic, happy, loving and social with a beautiful personality who love humans, dog and cats. They are young babies so DO NOT inquire about them if you are not ready to puppy train ei house/potty train. They currently are crate trained and do great.Rohini - is the only one with a doxie body (shorter legs and stalky body)Rohita - is the smallest of the girls with more of a dainty body Rochan - is the sturdiest who looks like an adorable itty bitty mini lab vs doxie. She and Rohana are the tallest.Rohana - is the only wired haired who looks a little like a schnauzer mix. They are just the best and if anyone is able to adopt a pair of sisters they would be so happy! the second best would be a family who has other dogs at home big or small and of course last best matched would be a family who if they do not have dogs at home they are interested in keeping their dogs happy by socializing with other dogs. As of the first week of February the girls are sterilized and fully vaccinated. They will be making a debut at the MEGA adoption event coming up 2/15 and we hope you can make it! If not, feel free to submit an application online at ARWOB.org to schedule a meet and greet.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.

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 Pollita!This little cutie was rescued from the streets of baja, Ensenada Mexico. Poor little pup was so weak, sick and mangie when she was rescued. Now, she is strong, healthy and a beautiful young pup. Pollita is your typical terrier, very loving, social and playful. She adores her foster mom but it did take her a day when she first arrived to settle in and trust her. She is still a bit apprehensive when meeting strangers and can try to retract and move away when strangers approach to touch her. She needs someone who is gentle and understands dogs to take it easy and win her trust. After all she did have a rough start in life and survived by evading humans who wanted to hurt her. Pollita (nick name for little chicken) reminds us of 'Tigger' of winnie the pooh jumping on his pogo stick. When she is happy and excited for attention ei human entered the room or its time to be fed she will jump pretty high around you which is hillarious. Pollita is very dog friendly with all dogs, big and small. She is great with indoor cats, she will try to chase outdoor cats for the 'fun of it' she is after all under 10 pounds and can run FAST. As of late January she is fostered in Casa De ARWOB along with several foster dogs and cats. She is crate trained and doing great. She is pretty quiet for a small breed dog but she can bark when she is excited especially when a human enters the room after not seeing them for a while. She adores being a lap dog and being loved on. Being a young teen and a energetic terrier we would love for her to be adopted by someone interested in enrolling in dog training to make sure she is a well mannered adult when she grows up and she would love a home with other pets in the home, if adopted as the only pet in the home she would be happy if she is kept socialized around fellow dog friends as she needs that frienship to be happy. Pollita is READY for adoption and will be making a debut at the MEGA adoption event comming up on 2/15 we hope you can make it and meet her! IF you would like to meet her before the event please submit applications online for review to schedule a meet and greet prior to the event at ARWOB.orgVisit 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.

Story
Hola, I am so excited that whoever is reading this might be my new family. I have been living in the streets of Baja my whole life and all I've wanted is a cozy place to rest and lots of cuddles. My love language is definitely snuggles as I am not that food motivated. I am SUPER easy going! I seem to always make people smile with my goofy personality and big smile. Although I love to chill I am so excited any time we go for an adventure. I love running around on the beach and have started showing interest in playing with other dogs. I get along with other dogs big or small, all humans and every other animal we have encountered (cats, cows, birds). I have many different looks, have you seen my hair transformation on Instagram @expedition.ola. When they found me I looked like a cute fluffy Bearded Collie. But after my first ever haircut I now look like a well groomed designer dog haha. I am adorable both ways so you can have fun with my hairstyles. I will be the best addition to any family and I am grateful you want to adopt a dog like me!

Story
Bongo is approximately 3 years of age, around 23 pounds, neutered, fully vaccinated & microchipped schnauzer/terry mix breed. He IS crate potty and leash trained~ soon he will be a pro of all three!! He is affectionate, playful but also has a calm demeanor which provides a nice balance. Bongo gets along well with most dogs, adults and children alike. Given his adaptability, he should be able to learn your family’s routine rather quickly and become part of the gang in no time!!! Bongo was rescued from the streets of TJ by his previous owner but now needs a forever home; fortunately he is now flourishing under the loving care of FHSTJ. (Nov 2024) Bongo has a lot of love to give and longs for a family who can provide him with the affection and attention he craves. He deserves a warm and loving home where he can feel cherished as a member of the family!!!

These pups are in National City, California too!

Story
Herman is a 3 year old terrier mix with so much love to give! Herman was found left alone at the Cabazon Dinosaurs, after waiting out his stray hold, when no one came to claim him, we busted him out of the Riverside Shelter. He is a gentle boy who would be a great work from home partner! He has not shown any food aggression and is great with his 2 foster siblings. When we found him he was unable to put weight on his front left paw - but the vets think this is a soft tissue injury that will heal with time (and love!). He is fully potty trained and loves to be outside. All this boy wants is to snuggle and give kisses. He will make an amazing addition to any home!
