The first thing people ask when they meet me is “What's wrong with her paw?” so let's get that out of the way.  I have a cleft paw.  It doesn't hurt and it mostly doesn't bother me at all.  I can run and walk fine, albeit with a limp.  Having a cleft paw is useful at times.  When I put my paw on you to get your attention, it is harder for you to ignore the big paw.  Same thing when I play with other dogs and give them a playful swat.  I am also great at standing on my back legs to catch toys when they are thrown.  It's like I have my very own catcher's mitt. 

I am a very pretty girl, as you can see from my pictures.  I am very athletic.  I love jumping and running.  I enjoy going for walks and if you are my forever family, I will be one sad girl if you don't take me for at least one walk every day.  When I imagine the perfect home for me, I imagine a big yard to play in.  One thing I really like inside the house is jumping on the couch.  I like to jump on, jump off, jump on again, flip and spin, then flop and plop.  I won't like a home with a “no dogs on the furniture” rule.

I have excellent house manners for the most part.  I have put my paws on the kitchen counters to sniff the bread a few times, but I did not help myself to anything up there.  I sometimes bounce on the beds where the humans sleep.  I am very sweet and super snuggly.  I love to cuddle and I also follow my foster mom around the house.  I am not like a velcro dog because I don't have to be attached to her, but I like to be in the same room. 

I would like a big, playful dog in my forever home.  I love to play!!  I need a dog who is pretty tolerant of other dogs.  Sometimes I am a little pushy, and a bit overbearing.  I am not mean when I am pushy, but I do things that might cause some dogs to take offense.  I push my foster brother to get out the door first, and sometimes at the water bowl I insist on ladies first.

I wouldn't mind living with a cat.  I can't remember if I ever lived with one before, but I met a couple of them at a friend's house and they weren't really that interesting.  I wouldn't mind living with children as long as they were sturdy enough that I wouldn't run them over when I get the zoomies.

I have some separation anxiety.  My new family absolutely must have a plan on how to help me with that.  I am a sweet girl who can’t wait to find my forever home!  Ariel is currently being fostered in Klamath Falls, OR.
