Story
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.. 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.
Thier Foster Parent Says: "Arya is such a good girl! The gentle not so giant. She is well trained and the most behaved foster dog we have looked after. She loves her walks and is very quick to form a new routine. Right now, we walk her early morning, a short lunch time trip when we can & a bigger walk in the evening. She is a great walker. She keeps pace & sometimes stops for a sniff around. She also will only relieve herself outside on a patch of grass or dirt. She loves going to parks & being surrounded by grass. She doesn’t seem to be bothered by the presence of other dogs in parks or on the sidewalks. If she’s feeling extroverted, she might smell them but most of the time she is more interested in walking, or in other humans. However, she does not like feeling cornered by other dogs: on rare occasions she may bark. She is treat motivated and she knows a trick or two that she will do in exchange (sit, stay, paw). She is most relaxed when sitting in the living room with her humans just watching TV. Arya is funny about certain sounds.. sometimes she doesn't like loud exhausts on cars or unidentified sounds but not always (doors closing people outside screaming etc). She also is weary of skateboards/rollerbladers or electric scooters but only when they are loud. All in all she is a really good girl.. she has never snapped or barked at her foster parents and she doesn’t beg for food (just hopefully looks at you eating). She loves to play with her toys - Her favorite game is tug of war and she will not chew anything outside of her toys. But toys may have a short shelf life! We’ve recently discovered that she loves eating & playing with ice cubes. She does get the occasional zoomies usually right before a walk or upon returning home. Arya is a really good dog, she just wants a stable environment & to feel at home."
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
Doing Great - - She's a mild puller but overall once she gets used to her people and routine she's pretty great on leash :)
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!!
