In the shelter’s words

Sweet Ariel is a beautiful girl with plenty of energy and absolutely loves to zoom around the yard. She would make an excellent running partner for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. Once she gets past her initial excitement, she settles in nicely and walks well on leash, though if her talented nose catches an irresistible scent, she's definitely going to investigate!Recently, Ariel attended a local Arts in the Park event and was a total superstar. She greeted people with a wagging tail and a big smile, soaking up all the attention she could get. She handled the busy environment beautifully and was easily redirected when a few overly excited dogs caught her attention.Ariel is curious, confident, and always interested in what's happening around her. Thunderstorms? Fireworks? No problem! While many dogs hide from loud noises, Ariel runs to the window to see what all the excitement is about. If she's outside, she'll happily watch the show.She has a fun and quirky personality, too. Water hoses are not her thing, and she'll choose to head indoors rather than participate in hose play. But dump water out of her bowl? That's apparently much more entertaining!Ariel gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home, but she also wouldn't mind being the center of someone's universe either. She enjoys sharing her home with canine friends, but when attention is being handed out, she's happy to remind everyone that she deserves some, too! Ariel is: Friendly with people Active and athletic Great event companion Confident and outgoing Excellent running or hiking partner Loves attention and affection Thunderstorm and fireworks approved!Ariel is ready to trade her foster home for a forever family that appreciates her adventurous spirit, happy personality, and loving heart.To apply to adopt, please fill out the application by clicking on the Adopt button or ask for her to be added to your existing application.***********************************************We are an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.
