About Arie
Arie is a 5-year, 6-month-old female English Staffy mix with a small stature and a big heart. She absolutely loves people and is a bit of a needy girl who always craves attention. In her previous home, she was left alone during work hours, so she'd likely be fine with that setup again. However, she’ll be best suited to a single-dog home as she doesn't enjoy interacting with other dogs. While she's fine walking past them, she prefers to avoid face-to-face greetings.
Arie isn't suited for homes with cats, rabbits, or other small animals, and for this reason, she’ll need a home with children aged 13 and up who can understand her needs. She's a loving and affectionate companion for someone looking for a loyal, people-focused dog.

No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
