My story

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

***Adoption Fee WAIVED***
Hi, I'm Arya, a 7-year-old German Shepherd mix with a beautiful brindle coat! My favorite thing to do is play fetch, especially when there's a ball launcher involved -I could chase that ball all day! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once I get to know you, I'll be your most loyal and loving friend. If you're patient and kind, I know we could be the perfect match.

I spent time in a foster home for the holidays and this is what they had to say about me:

-Very affectionate once she got comfortable. (didn't take long at all).
-All about car rides and an excellent passenger
-Knows basic commands. Sit, lie down, her name, "NO!" and even 'stay'
-Takes treats gently from your hand
-Food-motivated and loves treats
-Excellent house guest
-Beautifully house-trained
-Sleeps anywhere. Floor, dog bed, sofa, and we let her sleep in our bed
-Does not bark much
-Olympic ball fetcher. Relentlessly runs after them, returns and drops at your feet. Even gives a little nose shove towards you to encourage you to pick it up.
-She greets us enthusiastically when we come into the house but does not have any apparent separation anxiety when we leave. That said, she certainly does want to go with you!
-She likes to chew on indestructible bones and tears the stuffing out of any stuffed toy within a matter of minutes.

Post Adoption Training Scholarship (PATS)
At SAVE, we understand that the current economy presents challenges, and this impacts dog adoption rates. To ease the financial burden on adopters and help our adoptable dogs find their forever homes, we are excited to introduce the Post Adoption Training Scholarship (PATS) program. This initiative funds the first five training sessions with a qualified trainer for select medium and large breed dogs, identified in their adoption bios. For more information, please call the shelter director (Jack Griffin) and ask about the PATS program.

Complete the adoption application on our website and make your appointment to meet Arya today. We have appointments available daily except Monday. Call the shelter with questions: 609-309-5214.
