My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ARYA - 8 years old, Doodle Mix, 63lbs, Female (Spayed)

Arya is available for Foster to Adopt. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the subject line ARYA if you are interested. Please read everything below and submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org if this pup seems like a good fit for your family :)

Home Recommendation: Arya would be really happy in a home outside of the city. She would thrive in the suburbs! She would also be okay in a home in a more calmer part of the city where she has access to greenspace. She's currently being fostered in Brooklyn near Prospect Park and is doing well there! Arya isn't the type of pup who can live in an area like midtown. Arya is great with other dogs (outside of her home). She has no problem greeting dogs or hanging out with dogs but she can't live with anotehr dog as she is possesive of toys. 

ARAYA is an Intermediate level adult dog. This means that ideally the adopter has primary dog ownership of a breed or energy level similar to this dog. At a minimum the adopter should have solid experience doing things like dog sitting, or fostering dogs of a similar breed. Adopters should be comfortable with taking care of this breed or similar breeds. 

Her Foster Mom Says: Arya is SUCH a love. Incredibly friendly, sweet and eager with all humans and dogs. She’s active, social- I get the impression she hadn’t had much focus on her or regular exercise in some time, so she’s got a lot of energy to get out, and she’s definitely a dog who needs regular exercise. She’s fully house trained and knows sit, shake, lie down commands. She’s a cuddly couch & bed girl, but will get down if asked or nudged. She’s a big chewer, loves bones and chew toys and likes to play tug and fetch (but is super respectful of human belongings and body parts). We’re working on pulling on leash, she’s making a ton of progress, it’s worst in the mornings when she’s most jazzed. With a little training, she could be a really great running partner for someone. She’s a focused walker, not as much of a stop & sniffer, and responds to direction well. We’re also working on barking at certain noises- outside generally planes/helicopters and scooters/bikes/skateboards and indoors it’s door closing noises. She’s made big progress on the inside barking already. She’s super food motivated and eager to please, which has been making training correction/redirection easier. We’ve been going for an 60-75 min walks in the morning in prospect park, then a 30 minute walk in the afternoon. At night depending we will do either a quick night walk or we pop out to my backyard. She only pees and poops on grass or leaves etc, not on the street or pavement. She approaches the world with eagerness and sweetness. She’s good in the car, and seems to adapt pretty easily as long as she has attention, exercise, food and love. She’s really such a good girl- everyone who meets her falls in love, Her sweet face and soulful eyes win people over, and she’s eager to please and treat motivated, so training with her has been great. She’s pretty perfect! Whoever ends up with this sweet girl will be getting a really great companion."

Energy Level 

Medium - -  This dog will need a solid continuous 60 minute walk (at a minimum) in addition to potty breaks/relief walks/shorter walks. Working breed dogs were bred to do jobs so it’s super important to make sure that they get the right level of exercise and stimulation daily. Working breed dogs need more than just simply being “let out in the yard”.

Cuddle Level

Medium - - Arya is a medium level of cuddle bug. She loves to get attention from her people but doesn't need to be touched or cuddled 24/7. 

Potty Training 

Fully Potty Trained - - Arya is fully potty trained. She doesn't have accidents. 

Comfy With Strangers 

Yes - - Arya is very comfortable with strangers. Loves to say hi to new people. 

Mouthy Behaviour 

Past this point in her life - - She only chews on things she's supposed to like toys or bones. Keeps her mouth off of human limbs and isn't destructive. 

Social With Children?  (ALWAYS requires supervision)

Yes - - Arya is okay to be in a home with respectful kids. She is gentle. 

Social With Dogs?

Yes - - We know that this dog is good with other dogs. But, every dog has their own version of how much they want to engage with another dog. For example not every dog is going to love the dog park. It’s important to keep social interactions brief at first and work your way up as you get to know the dog more. Arya has no problem greeting dogs on the street!! She's great with socializing with other dogs (outside of the home). But, she is pocessive of toys so she can't live with another dog in the home. 

Social With Cats?

Not Sure - - We do not know if this dog is good with cats. Better to air on the side of caution and say no. We are able to cat test for approved adopters. 

Leash Manners 

Greatly Improving - - She’s moving from getting the hang of it to being an old pro (adding a harness in place of collar helped as well). 

Separation Anxiety 

Nope - - fine being left home alone. Is calm and quiet waiting for your return. 

Crate Trained

Nope - - Her current foster parents aren't using a crate for her. She is respectful of the home and doesn't need it. She prefers to be where she can see her person but will sleep on floor or bed or couch

PLEASE NOTE: This animal is not at the Social Tees office — all of our dogs and cats are in foster homes while they wait to find their forever families. :) If you’d like to apply to adopt this pet, please complete an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org. Because we are a small team and receive hundreds of applications each week, we are unable to respond to every application and every inquiry email, but we do our best. Please have patience! If your application is approved, you will for sure hear from us. If you have questions, please take a look at the Adoption and Fostering FAQs etc. on our website as all common questions are answered there. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work to save these innocent lives!!
