About Ari

Ari came to rescue all alone, tucked away in some bushes—scrawny and almost bald, with his littermates already lost. Since then, Ari has flourished into a striking little dog. He’s smaller than most potcakes but that doesn’t stop him: his energetic, curious, and highly playful nature fills the room. Take him for a walk, and you’ll see the way he lights up and gets along with anyone—a big personality in a medium-sized package. Ari’s confidence is contagious, especially with other dogs. When it was his turn to help a nervous foster pup, he guided her out of her shell with his natural assurance. Training him comes naturally since he’s smart and extremely motivated by snacks—though you’ll want to keep an eye on the kitchen, because he’s clever enough to sniff out any forgotten treat. He’s busy, fun, and deeply loving underneath that wild streak, always ready to lift spirits and share affection. If you’re looking for a dog who keeps you smiling and on your toes, Ari is waiting in North Abington Township, PA. Your new best friend is just one click away.
