Hello there! I’m Aria, and I’m learning to live the luxury life—well, in my imagination for now!
At 3 years of age, I haven’t always known kindness and my past wasn’t filled with the nicest people… but everything changed when a wonderful human picked me up and showed me love for the first time. That’s when I knew my life was about to get so much better—and it has.
I may be blind and deaf, but I experience the world in my own beautiful way. My nose is my guide, and I love lifting it high to smell all the scents the wind brings. I always know when you’re near, and that’s when my tail can’t stop wagging!
I enjoy gentle pets, tasty treats, soft grass, and the feeling of the breeze on my fur. I explore life with joy and heart, and even though I’ve been through a lot, I remain full of love and hope.
I do well with other dogs and having a kind confident dog to be my buddy and help me navigate my world would be ideal but I’d also thrive as your one-and-only as long as you could help me adjust to my environment. Just being near someone kind is enough for me.
A few things to know: I enjoy using my voice when I'm super happy and excited (even if I can’t hear it), so I’d do best in a house rather than an apartment. And because I don’t walk well on a leash—I prefer to sniff and wander on my own terms—a fenced-in yard would be ideal.
I'm great at kenneling and I do prefer the enclosed style as versus the black wire kind and a big dog bed, a blankie and a kong filled with peanut butter and I'm in nap taking heaven!
I do like to play with other dogs if they want to play with me! So someone that enjoys that would be a super fun thing in my life but I do really love humans so a home where it's just me and people who adore me is fine too. Oh and kitties, they are fine by me! But only if they don't whap me! Sometimes I bump into them cuz ya know I can't see them!
I know it sounds like I need a “perfect” setup, but I promise, I’m worth it. Give me love, safety, and patience—and I’ll give you all the heart in the world. If you come and meet me, I know you will LOVE ME! I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped so that I'm all ready to go home with just the right people. My adoption fee is $275.00 and I'm worth every penny!
