My name is Arabella!

🎉 Introducing Arabella: The Seasoned Senior with a Heart of Gold! 🎉


Arabella's journey is a testament to her strength and enduring spirit. She first came into our care in 2020, when her original family found themselves facing unexpected challenges. Despite their best intentions, Arabella's presence in the home became a source of discomfort for the stepkids, who unfortunately discovered they were allergic to her after they moved in. However, Arabella's story didn't end there. After staying with us for a bit, she was soon adopted by a loving family who cherished her for three beautiful years. But life can be unpredictable, and circumstances changed once again. After those three cherished years, Arabella found herself back in our care, her family feeling unable to provide her the care she deserved. Now, Arabella dreams of finding a forever home where she can finally put down roots and be the cherished companion she was always meant to be. She longs for a cozy spot on the couch, leisurely walks in the park, and, most importantly, a family who will love and cherish her for the rest of her days.

Now, let's talk about her current fashion statement – or should we say "fur"shion statement? Arabella's coat might be in shambles right now, thanks to a sticky encounter with some tree sap and a not-so-great self-grooming session by her previous owners. But fear not, dear humans, for there's good news on the horizon – her fur is on the rebound and ready to make a comeback! In the meantime, Arabella is embracing her inner fashionista with gusto. Sure, she may not be rocking the latest trends right now, but who needs designer duds when you've got a heart of gold and a personality that shines brighter than the sun? Arabella knows that true style comes from within, and she's got it in spades. Arabella may have a few more years under her collar, but don't let her age fool you – she's still got moves that would make a pup half her age jealous! Sure, she might take her sweet time getting up in the morning, but once she's had her coffee (or in her case, a good stretch), she's ready to rock and roll like there's no tomorrow. You see, Arabella is a bit like a classic car – she may take a little longer to rev up, but once she's in gear, there's no stopping her. But perhaps the funniest thing about Arabella is her ability to switch from slow-mo to turbo speed in the blink of an eye. One moment she's enjoying a leisurely stroll, and the next she's zipping around the house like a furry tornado, leaving sheer amazement (and laughter) in her wake.

Arabella, at nearly 10 years old, is the canine equivalent of a seasoned yogi – calm, centered, and radiating good vibes wherever she goes. She's not your typical high-energy pup, but don't mistake her laid-back demeanor for laziness. Arabella is all about living life in the slow lane, savoring every moment and soaking in the simple pleasures. Her idea of a perfect day? A leisurely stroll around the block, followed by a cozy nap on the couch – preferably with a side of belly rubs, please! While she might not be the most adventurous pup on the block, Arabella is always up for a little exploration, especially if it involves sniffing out new smells or cozying up in a sunny spot. What truly sets Arabella apart, though, is her Zen-like ability to bring peace and tranquility wherever she goes. She's like a little ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, brightening even the darkest of moods with her infectious charm and unwavering positivity.

When it comes to her furry companions, Arabella is the epitome of diplomacy, navigating the complex world of doggy dynamics with grace and finesse. Whether she's mingling with mutts big or small, Arabella approaches every interaction with an open heart and a wagging tail. However, Arabella isn't afraid to set boundaries when necessary. She knows when to play and when to take a break, and she's always quick to respect the signals of her fellow four-legged friends. In other words, she's the kind of dog you want in your corner when things get ruff. Arabella has mastered the art of persuasion, especially when it comes to winning over her feline friends, or as she affectionately calls them, the "whiskered wonders." Arabella knows that cats hold the keys to the kingdom when it comes to coolness. That's why she's made it her mission to charm her way into their hearts with her irresistible charisma and undeniable charm. When it comes to her whiskered counterparts, Arabella knows all the tricks of the trade. She's a master of the subtle head tilt, the gentle paw tap, and the playful tail wag – all designed to win over even the most discerning of cats. And let's not forget her secret weapon: the patented "puppy dog eyes," guaranteed to melt even the frostiest of feline hearts. When it comes to her mini hooman counterparts, Arabella pulls out all the stops. She's a master of the playful romp, the gentle nuzzle, and the belly-up surrender – all designed to make kids feel right at home in her presence. And let's not forget her secret weapon: the patented "puppy dog grin," guaranteed to bring a smile to even the grumpiest of faces.

Ah, Arabella – the queen of routines and the nemesis of unexpected surprises, especially when it comes to bathroom breaks. This seasoned pro knows that sticking to a schedule is the key to success, or as she likes to say, "keeping things flowing smoothly." But let's be real – even the best-laid plans can go awry, as Arabella's humans discovered when they dared to sleep in one fateful morning. The result? An accident that served as a not-so-subtle reminder that Arabella takes her bathroom business seriously. So, what's the secret to Arabella's success? It's all about the routine, baby! With a doggie door and a meticulously planned schedule, Arabella ensures that every potty break is right on time and accident-free. She's like the CEO of bladder control, running a tight ship and keeping her living space clean and pristine at all times. While other dogs might be busy gnawing away at shoes and furniture, Arabella prefers to keep her pearly whites pristine and her chew count at zero. When it comes to free-roaming the house, Arabella is the undisputed queen, a beacon of trustworthiness and responsibility in a world of chewed-up shoes and overturned trash cans. You see, Arabella understands the importance of earning her humans' trust, and she takes her role as a free-roaming ambassador very seriously. Whether she's snoozing on the couch, lounging in the sunbeam by the window, or keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood from her favorite spot on the porch, Arabella knows how to make the most of her freedom without causing any mischief or mayhem.
