Meet Ariel! She’s an endearing 11-year-old Dachshund mix who’s ready to be your loyal companion. Weighing in at 23 pounds, Ariel has a personality that lights up a room. After spending her life with one owner, she transitioned to DogWorksOhio when her previous owner could no longer care for her due to health issues. Despite this change, Ariel has adapted well and is now looking for her next loving home. This Velcro dog loves to be wherever you are, turning ordinary moments into joyful ones—whether that’s cooking, lounging on the couch, or taking leisurely walks. She has a sweet head tilt that shows her curiosity, especially when you're talking to her. Ariel balances her love for cuddling with a playful spirit, enjoying her time chasing plush squeaky toys and bringing them back for another round. Ariel is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and responds well to gentle guidance. While she’s great with other dogs and enjoys meeting new people, a home with older, respectful children is ideal for her. She might give a little growl if she's uncomfortable with being repositioned, but don’t worry—she settles quickly once left alone. A securely fenced yard would be best for her to safely explore. One of Ariel's unique quirks is when she gets excited from love and attention, she makes adorable grumbly noises that sound like growling; it's just her way of expressing happiness while leaning in for kisses. If you’re searching for a cuddly, affectionate friend to share your life with during her golden years, Ariel could be the perfect match. She’s spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to bring her warmth and love to a new family. Her adoption fee is $150. Think you could be the right fit? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
