Our adoption application can be found at the bottom of this pet's bio. Once your application has been approved, we can arrange a meet & greet with you and Aruba. Aruba is currently in a foster home in Houston, TX and is eligible for meet & greets! Meet Aruba! Aruba is a momma dog that was rescued from an abandoned property that had 19 dogs total. We went out and saved Momma Aruba and all 7 of her puppies. Aruba is estimated to be about 3 years old and is fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Aruba currently weighs about 45 pounds. Aruba is dog friendly and currently lives with 2 other dogs! She integrated into her foster home perfectly and got along with the other dogs immediately. We would say that Aruba has a pretty low energy level. She enjoys lounging around the house and is pretty mellow. She gets excited when we come home from work and at feeding time and will do the cutest little hops! She plays great with the other dogs in the home. Aruba is cat friendly and currently lives with cats in her foster home. She doesn't chase them, she just lets them be. She'll go up to them with her tail wagging and naps next to them. She sometimes gets excited and barks at them, but never shows any aggression towards them. Aruba has only been around a 12 year old boy and she did fine with him. She is shy in general when meeting strangers and needs a little time to warm up. We would suggest a home with older children who are able to respect boundaries and give her space while she is settling into a new home. Aruba walks very well on a leash! No pulling or tugging, she pauses and waits for you. She appears to have been leash trained at some point. Aruba is not a fan of long walks, and will let you know and lay down when she is ready to head back to the direction of the house. Aruba is fully potty trained and she knows to go to the back door when she needs to go outside to potty. Aruba is also crate trained. Her foster family currently allows her to free roam when they are away and she does well with this. She's a perfect angel and just lounges around with her foster siblings. Aruba is great about sharing food, toys and treats with her doggie foster siblings. She loves meal time and does cute little hops to show her excitement! Here's a small blurb about Aruba from her foster family: Aruba is a very sweet girl. She loves to nap next to you and cuddle. Lap dog if you allow it. It may take a moment for her to get comfortable in a new environment , but once she does she will greet you with her hops and excitement and love the second you get home. She would LOVE a home with another dog to help her acclimate and feel comfortable. She is on the shy side initially, but will warm up and love you endlessly! Due to this, Aruba would do best being crated when guests come over. She just gets scared and will want some space to feel safe. If you are patient with her, she will come out of her shell and show you the sweet and loving girl that she is! Aruba is very loving, laid back and low maintenance. She enjoys sunbathing and napping in the backyard. She is generous about sharing her toys and really does enjoy being with her people.
