Arya is a deeply loyal and affectionate German Shepherd mix, ready to be someone’s one-and-only loyal companion. She’s a true people dog: loves to snuggle, follows her favorite humans from room to room, and never misses a chance to shower them with devotion. Arya’s spent nearly six years with her current family, and they’re rehoming her only to ensure she gets the best chance to thrive in a home tailored to her needs. Her ideal environment is clear—Arya needs to be the only animal in the house. She struggles around other dogs and has a high prey drive, so she’s not safe with cats or small animals despite years of training. But around people? She’s a sweetheart, welcoming with everyone and easy to connect with. The right adopter understands dog behavior, values structure and mental stimulation, and can give Arya the quiet, focused household she does best in. In the right setting, she shines and can relax and settle into a happy routine. Arya is house trained, spayed, and up to date on all vaccinations. She’s got a striking medium-length coat in white, cream, brown, and black. Arya is currently in Kirkland, WA and eager to meet the person who’ll become her whole world. What are you waiting for?
