About Zz Baby Ari~ Courtesy

Ari is an 8-month-old female Labrador Retriever who started out shy but has come a long way in building her confidence. She was originally adopted as a puppy from a rural background and needed some time to get used to people, especially men. While she has made progress and can warm up with patience, Ari does best when given a gentle, steady approach. She knows how to sit and lay down, and while she's working on her potty training, it's a process that will need to continue in her new home. Ari enjoys lounging by your feet and will happily chase a toy around the room. She's up-to-date on vaccines, spayed, and licensed. Ari should not live with other animals or children unless she's shown to be reliable in those settings by a trainer—she needs a home where she can be someone's center of attention as she continues learning. If you're looking for a loyal companion to invest your time in, Ari has a lot of love to give to the right person. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
