My name is
Arabella aka Ara!

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org***

While we know there is no such thing as a perfect puppy Miss Arabella comes pretty darn close! After being attacked by a group of big dogs she found her way to a playground at a school on the PineRidge reservation.  There the staff and children quickly knew to call LightShine Canine so those ladies could get her to a veterinarian asap.  Ara spent a couple of days in a vet clinic but the light was going out of her eyes.  Lightshine knows we specialize in the medical cases and we have been very fortunate to have saved many a little soul with care from the humans and love and cuddles from the Director's crew of accepting furkids who all seem to know their role in life is to give comfort to the many others that come in broken or shut down. After only a short time hanging out with the team of critters, Ara's eyes had their sparkle back and it just took time for her little body to heal the many wounds.  She is now about 6 months old and a spunky pup ready for her next big adventure in life....to find her very own forever family! Ara gets along with dogs, cats and kids would likely be a big hit for this fun little girl.  She is gentle, well behaved, house trained, kennel trained, rides nicely in a car and will entertain herself if given a basket of toys.  She is not destructive although she loves a good chew bone and to dig a nice hole in the yard! She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and full of love!
