Ariella

01/04/2008

Recently Tyler and I had been on Craigslist.com just looking at stuff in general when we came across the following ad. Knowing that for several months that Tyler has really wanted to get a new dog since, Pumbaa has aged so much and just would rather not be messed with, we decided to look futher into the Camden County Animal Shelter Foster Program. Tyler and I spent a lot of time reading bios and looking at pictures, but Ariella kept coming back to Tyler. So on 12/20/2007 we drove the nice drive down to NJ and meet with her. We had talked about keeping our minds opened adn should she give any reason at all that she would not work, there were other dogs waiting for foster homes too.

Well we got there around 3:30pm and a staff person brought Ariella down a hall to meet us in the front lobby. Tyler smiled instantly and I said"oh what a beautiful dog". She was nervous, of course but the staff showed us a nice big field to run in with her and showed us where the puppy play yard was to play ball.

We walked out to the field and after Tyler tied his shoes he asked to walk her. Well walk became distance running in a split second! Off she went with him and I was laughing so hard. Way out across this field I saw Ariella run a circle around Tyler than she started running towards me. At this point Tyler is on the ground and she came to a sudden hault. She wrapped her leash right around him! Ariella went right up to him and started kissing him. She waited for Tyler to get up and the two of them walked back over to me. Then we decided since she was so excited to be out that it would be best to be in the enclosed play yard. As you can see from the 12/20/07 slide show, things went well.

We will continue to update Ariella's progress. If you are interested in more information on Ariella or other dogs located at Camden County Animal Shelter please email Heather at camcoshelter@yahoo.com
