Cooper, the chiweenie, felt cooped up and flew the coop! His journey brought him to ARF, where he won the hearts of a forever family in the blink of an eye. Paws up to you, Cooper.
Kensington, the beagle puppy, may have had a rough start last week, but is now leading the life of a king. Memories of being left in the dark, tethered to a fence with no food or water, are just that. Kensington hopes all ARF dogs find the dream family that he did.
Gus, the young male Rottweiler, looks the part of a tough guy, but deep down he’s just a puppy searching for his home. Partial to females, he will lay at your feet or walk loyally by your side.
Duke is a fawn-colored chow chow between 6 and 8 years of age. Duke prefers the company of people over other dogs and would do well in a single-dog home. However, he will tolerate the company of other canines, and stays very faithful to his human. He prefers your companionship throughout the day and night. Once acclimated to his surroundings, Duke will then understand that you will return. We are in desperate need of a foster or forever home for Duke. If you can help, please call ARF (951) 659-1122.
ARF has two kittens available for adoption. Dawn and Dusk will capture your heart and bring a smile. They won’t last long.
