Ariel

My story

Meet Ariel – The Sweetheart of the Sea (and Sofa)! At just 40 pounds, Ariel may be petite, but her heart is enormous. This 2-year-old American Bully is the definition of a gentle soul. She raised 9 beautiful puppies (our Little Mermaid litter!) and now it’s finally her turn to be someone’s baby. Ariel is a total dream dog—calm, cuddly, and perfectly behaved. She won’t jump on your couch or bed… but if you invite her up, she’ll curl beside you and drift into sleep with an actual smile on her face (yes, we have the photos to prove it!). She’s fantastic with cats and dogs alike—especially playful kitties who will entertain her sweet spirit. Honestly, she just wants to be near her people, quietly soaking up the love. Ariel does have a grade 2 heart murmur, but no meds are needed—just routine checkups like any other dog! Our vets aren’t concerned and say she’s perfectly fine to live her happy, snuggly life. If you're looking for an easy, loyal, snuggly best friend who’s happy doing absolutely nothing by your side, Ariel is your girl. ------------------- ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
