About Ari

Meet Ari! Ari is a sweet, nearly 2-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix. She's looking for a forever home after her previous owner had to let her go due to personal circumstances. Currently thriving in a foster home, Ari is a cuddly and affectionate young lady. She gets along well with others, whether they be human companions or furry friends, and would appreciate having a playmate around. Though Ari can be timid with new people, she warms up with patience. A quieter home environment would suit her best, ideally with older kids (over 10 years old). Ari enjoys playtime but doesn't require toys to have fun, and she’s beginning to love her walks as well. While she does bark quietly at passersby, her demeanor is calm, making her a potential fit for apartment living, depending on her surroundings. Ari is already potty trained, vaccinated, spayed, and chipped. This sweetheart is ready to find her new best friend! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
