This helps Bay Area German Shepherd Dog Rescue with pet care costs.
I'm Ari, my friends call me R-Dog. I'm 2 years old, mostly German Shepherd with a sprinkle of Doberman - a great mix that gives me my svelte shape and sleek black coat with tan tinted toes and feet. And in case you didn't notice, I have ginormous ears. I am super cute!
I'm also super sweet and love attention. I'm kind of a lap dog sometimes but I absolutely LOVE exploring the world around me, too! Going on walks is one of my favorite things—I just can't get enough of all the wonderful smells! I walk pretty good on leash and love to get in the car and go for rides. I prefer the front seat where I can curl up and be close to you but I'll hang in the back, too. I"m pretty chill on walks and basically mind my own but once in while something startles me and I get scared and bark and carry on a bit too much. If another dog gives me the hairy eyeball, I get too defensive and need to be reminded it's all ok. You see, I was adopted as a wee pup but my family lost interest in me and after a while they just left me in the back yard. I didn't get the greatest chance to meet new people and see new things. My friends at the rescue took me back and I'm learning so much "dog". They tell me I'm really doing well and what a smart, sweet girl I am.
I'm pretty friendly with other dogs that are calm and easy going greeters and once we meet and I know it's all good, I LOVE to play. I also like walking with my dog friends - we have a blast together! My other most favorite thing is WATER - I LOVE THE WATER. Sometimes I get to swim in a pond or the creek and I LOVE IT and can't wait to jump in. You can usually find me lounging in my wading pool.
I grew up with a cat so I might be able to live with one. I don't think I have a desire to chase things but I'm curious. I'm comfortable going into stores and have no issues with floors or stairs. I think I would really enjoy a family or person that takes me to new places and lets me explore the world. I need adventure and excitement - what girl doesn't! With a little patience and love, I know I'll grow into the best companion anyone could ask for. If you want to meet me, I'm hanging out in Santa Rosa and would love to say hi.
