“I wanna be where the people are.  I wanna see, wanna see them dancin’.  Walking around on those – what do they call ‘em?  Oh – paws!  Waggin’ your tail, you don’t get too far.  People are required for fetching, playing.  Being a part of a – what’s that word again?  Family!  When’s it my turn?  Wish I could be…adopted” (Inspired by Disney’s The Little Mermaid).  That is what this Ariel is thinking.  She just wants to be part of your world. 

Ariel was rescued from a dog pound, pregnant.  Soon after, she had amazing puppies who all found their forever homes.  Now, it is Ariel’s turn.  She is a great canine companion.  Not only is Ariel dog friendly, but she also loves people and has obedience training under her belt.  She can sit, shake, roll over, and obviously pose pretty for a picture.  As we said, this wonderful girl just wants to be part of your love-filled world.  So, make her happily ever after come true today.
