Introducing Ari, the 9-month-old black lab retriever mix who's like a bundle of joy with a wagging tail, tipping the scales at a snug 49 pounds. Imagine all the heart-melting charm of a lab, mixed with the intelligence and grace of a retriever, and you’ve got Ari. She’s aced her potty training and walks like she’s strutting down a fashion runway on a leash. Plus, her medium energy level strikes the perfect balance between adventure-ready and couch potato certified. Ari is the definition of a social butterfly, making friends with both two-legged and four-legged creatures wherever she roams. She’s not just into casual strolls; this girl is all about car rides, turning every trip outside into an exciting escapade. And manners? Ari’s got them in spades, behaving so well in public you’d think she was born with a silver bone in her mouth. But the magic really happens when the day winds down. Ari transforms from playful pup to professional snuggler in zero flat, finding that sweet spot in your arms that says, “This is exactly where I belong.” If you’re on the lookout for a gorgeous, well-behaved, and affectionate companion to share in all of life’s little and big adventures, Ari is waving her paw in the air. She’s more than ready to fill your days with laughter, your car rides with companionship, and your evenings with the kind of cuddles that make everything else fade away. Who knew the perfect adventure buddy also came with built-in snuggle features? Although Ari gets along well other pups - and enjoys their company - she will need to be fed separately from her canine siblings - as she has a tough time sharing her food! At such a young age, we think this tendency can be curbed with a patient and savvy family willing to work with her. +++++++ ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://form.jotform.com/210515484620146 +++++++ Once we have received your application, we will review and reach out to set-up an interview with one of our volunteers!
