My story

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

Aruba is a beautiful, blue-eyed girl of about 2 1/2 years old. In May of 2023, Aruba was removed from an unfit home and when she arrived at our Newark shelter, she was dehydrated and unhealthy, and she spent some time getting back on her feet. She came to us later and continued on her road to recovery. Then, she had to learn to trust people all over again. Aruba is like a whole new dog! YES, she still needs to get to know you before she'll trust you but that doesn't take long at all and once she knows you, you're her buddy for life. Aruba is deaf but has been learning hand signals which she follows very well. She's received a good deal of training and she's so smart and knows perfectly well how to behave. She will need a home where her training is reinforced, and also where there are no young kids or cats. BUT, she loves other dogs and she also loves car rides, playing, and just getting silly! Aruba is so deserving of a fresh start in life and hopes that you'll give her a chance! Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application. File#64770 5/8/23
