My story

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

Hi… my name is Aria 🤍
I’m a 1-year-old female Cocker Spaniel mix, and I weigh about 6kg.
I’m very small and very quiet—so quiet that sometimes people don’t notice me at first.
I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation.
There were more than 80 dogs living in a space so crowded there was hardly room to stand. In that place, I learned to curl my body in tight and stay still, just to protect myself. I was so gentle and timid that even when other dogs were rough with me, I never cried out or fought back. I just endured everything in silence.
Thankfully, I was rescued—and for the first time, I was held in human arms.
Because of my past, I rely on people more than other dogs. At first, even a gentle touch felt unfamiliar and scary. But little by little, as I felt human warmth, I began to calm down and feel safe.
I don’t demand attention.
I’ll quietly walk over and sit beside you.
That’s how I show my love.
Just being close is enough for me.
I am extremely gentle, very small, and truly beautiful—
but more than anything, I am incredibly loving.
I sometimes use pee pads, but if my environment changes, I’ll need patient guidance and time to relearn. I’m new to home life, so everything I experience is part of my learning journey.
Because I spent so long surrounded by many dogs, I may have some separation anxiety. That’s why I hope to meet a family who can spend a lot of time with me and help me feel secure.
For so long, I lived in a narrow, dark space, curled up just to survive.
Now, I hope to learn how to lean comfortably into my family’s love—
to rest without fear, and to belong.
I’m waiting for my first and last true family.
If you choose me, I promise to stay by your side, quietly and faithfully, with my whole heart. 🕊️
