Hello there! I’m Aria, and I’m learning to live the luxury life—well, in my imagination for now!

At 3 years of age, I haven’t always known kindness and my past wasn’t filled with the nicest people... but everything changed when a wonderful human picked me up and showed me love for the first time. That’s when I knew my life was about to get so much better—and it has.

I may be blind and deaf, but I experience the world in my own beautiful way. My nose is my guide, and I love lifting it high to smell all the scents the wind brings. I always know when you’re near, and that’s when my tail can’t stop wagging!

I enjoy gentle pets, tasty treats, soft grass, and the feeling of the breeze on my fur. I explore life with joy and heart, and even though I’ve been through a lot, I remain full of love and hope.

I do well with other dogs and having a kind confident dog to be my buddy and help me navigate my world would be ideal but I’d also thrive as your one-and-only as long as you could help me adjust to my environment. Just being near someone kind is enough for me.

A few things to know: I enjoy using my voice when I'm super happy and excited (even if I can’t hear it), so I’d do best in a house rather than an apartment. And because I don’t walk well on a leash—I prefer to sniff and wander on my own terms—a fenced-in yard would be ideal.

I'm great at kenneling and I do prefer the enclosed style as versus the black wire kind and a big dog bed, a blankie and a kong filled with peanut butter and I'm in nap taking heaven!

I do like to play with other dogs if they want to play with me! So someone that enjoys that would be a super fun thing in my life but I do really love humans so a home where it's just me and people who adore me is fine too. Oh and kitties, they are fine by me! But only if they don't whap me! Sometimes I bump into them cuz ya know I can't see them!

I know it sounds like I need a “perfect” setup, but I promise, I’m worth it. Give me love, safety, and patience—and I’ll give you all the heart in the world. If you come and meet me, I know you will LOVE ME! I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped so that I'm all ready to go home with just the right people. My adoption fee is $275.00 and I'm worth every penny!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
