In addition to the adoption fee of $300, I will require a training deposit of $150 which is fully refundable upon completion of a training course.
Vacation Foster Update: Ari is such a sweet heart! He loves to chew on his toys and play with a large toy ball. He does great entertaining himself whenever he’s hanging out with people. He is a cuddle bug who likes to sit on the couch with you. He met my cat and did pretty good, he was curious but didn't show any signs of aggression, so he may be ok in a home with a dog savvy cat. Ari kenneled great at nighttime and whenever I had to run errands. He is potty trained and would let me know whenever he needed to go outside by either sitting by the backdoor or by whining a bit in the kennel. Ari will alert bark at unfamiliar sounds. He is very food motivated and loves his treats! Overall, a great dog to work with.
Ari is learning his leash manners. He gets overwhelmed with busy areas - traffic etc and will do best in a quiet setting.
Introduction: Meet sweet 2 year old Ari. He was rescued as an at risk 8 week old pup by LR who couldn't say no to helping him. He is back with LR due to changing circumstances for his adopters.
Ari loves people and is very affectionate and loves attention. He has had previous training and listens to commands well and is very smart. Ari is young and athletic and has a lot of energy. He will do well with an active adopter though he does settle very nicely too.
Ari does well with children 10-12 years and older but is uncomfortable and anxious around very young tots so no small children in his new home. He can be unsure of certain things in the outside world but is receiving continued training and support and is doing better all the time.
Ari gets along well with other dogs and grew up in a home with a doggie companion. He also attended day care regularly to keep him socialized with other dogs.
Ari is a gentle soul who though had a hard start as a very young pup, because of LR saving him and never giving up on him some lucky family is going to have a wonderful and loyal companion that is going to bring them a lot of fun and happiness.
