Meet the delightful Ari, a charming 2-year-old Shiba Inu, who is here to steal hearts everywhere! This lovable pup came to us in July 2023 as an owner surrender, simply because his previous home didn’t quite understand the genius that is a Shiba! With a little more training and guidance, Ari is on his way to becoming the superstar he was always meant to be! 🌟 Ari’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. After all, it’s not easy to transition from the only home you’ve ever known into a new environment. But don’t worry—our adorable fella is slowly embracing his journey and has already shown improvements! He’s enjoying playtime with toys and even allowing folks here to walk him! But let’s be real for a moment: if he doesn’t know you yet, he might be a tad unsure about those pets. Can you blame him? Trust takes time, but it’s such a delightful journey! ❤️ Now, here’s the scoop—Ari needs a loving home that will continue his training and help him warm up to new faces and experiences. Multiple meet and greets are a must because you’ll want to get to know Ari before he fully trusts you (it’s worth every moment, trust me! 🐾) With some extra tender loving care (and some yummy treats!), we can all imagine how Ari will shine bright with his new humans! And let’s not forget—this handsome guy already knows his "sit" and "down" commands! Who doesn’t love a smart pup? 🎓 With those little victories, it’s clear that Ari is just waiting for the right match to enter his life and create a fabulous friendship. Think of all the fun adventures you could share together! If your heart is as big as Ari’s potential, don’t hesitate! Make sure to apply through the Buddy App to bring this sweet boy home! You won’t regret it! 🏡❤️ Ari is currently residing at The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to give this special boy the loving forever home he truly deserves.
