Adopt: Arie
She Found the Couch — and She's Never Going Back 🐾
📍 Columbus, OH — Ohio | 🎂 4 years old | ⚖️ 65 lbs
Arie is a mill mama who is figuring out, one small discovery at a time, that life can be really, really good. The couch was a recent revelation and she is fully committed to it. Ham is her love language. She follows the other dogs around like a student shadowing a mentor, learning what it means to just be a dog — and she is getting better at it every single day.
She is sweet, cuddly, and deeply connected to her people. She loves to be close, leans into affection, and is happiest when she is part of whatever is happening around her. She walks well on leash, goes willingly into her crate at night for a treat, and is working on her house training — she does best when the other dogs head outside with her, which is exactly why having a confident canine companion in her new home will make all the difference.
Arie is great with dogs and cats, does well with the foster family's twelve-year-old, and is slowly but surely coming out of her shell in the most beautiful way. She loves bones, bully sticks, and ham — do not underestimate the ham. She does have some nighttime anxiety when alone and has actually done better sleeping out of the crate, so her new family should be prepared to work with her on finding what helps her feel most secure at night.
Arie would do best in a home that offers:
🏡 A fenced yard preferred — she needs a calm, safe outdoor space to build confidence
🐾 Another dog in the home — strongly recommended, she learns everything from watching other dogs
🐱 Cats welcome — she does great with them
👶 Older children preferred — great with the foster's 12-year-old; young children unknown
🧘 Patient adopters who understand a mill mama's timeline and celebrate every small win
🌙 Someone willing to work through her nighttime anxiety and find her comfort zone
🚫 No stuffed animals — she will absolutely eat the stuffing, no regrets
💛 A couch she can claim and a person who will share it with her every single night
Arie came in not knowing what she was allowed to want — and now she knows the couch, she knows ham, she knows cuddles, and she is learning more every day. For the right home, this gentle, grateful girl is going to blossom into everything she was always meant to be. 💕
