Hi there! My name's Ari, and I'm a 1.5 year-old German Shepherd girl with just a hint of Doberman. I'm a svelte 60 lbs and have a sleek black coat with tan tinted toes/feet and ginormous ears. I am super cute!
I'm a really sweet girl and love attention. I'm happy to meet strangers and absolutely LOVE exploring the world around me! Going on walks is my absolute favorite thing—I just can't get enough of all the wonderful smells! Sometimes I get a bit too enthusiastic and pull on the leash, but I'm learning to respect the leash a bit more (and my human's arm).
I'm pretty friendly with other dogs and like meeting dogs that are calm and easy going. I recently met Otis and Stan, and we had a blast together! Stan and I go on walks together all the time and I would really like to play but he's just not into it). I didn't get a chance to play with other dogs this last year and sometimes I get a bit excited but I'm a quick learner and really just want to learn to play. I can be a little bossy with smaller dogs, especially if they try to challenge me. I'm working on being more gentle and respectful during playtime.
I grew up with a cat so I might be able to live with one. I don't think I have a desire to chase things but I'm curious. I'm especially curious about smelling EVERYTHING and sometimes I get a little too grabby and pick up things on the ground I really shouldn't but it's ok, you can easily take it away from me, I share.
I didn't get a chance to get out and about much in my last home. I was adopted as a wee pup but unfortunately my humans didn't have time for me and I spent a bit too much time in the back yard entertaining myself. Fortunately I found my way back to the rescue and I'm having a blast exploring the big world. I'm still working on my 'focus' but it's so much fun learning it won't be long and I'll be paying attention AND having fun at the same time. I'm a really nice girl who loves kids and doesn't get scared by bikes, strollers, or noisy toddlers. I'm comfortable going into stores and have no issues with floors or stairs.
I think I would thrive with someone who takes me to new places and lets me explore the world. Life in a backyard isn't for me—I need adventure and excitement! With a little patience and love, I know I'll grow into the best companion anyone could ask for.
I’ll be waiting in Santa Rosa.
