Arie’s Adoption Story:
In 2021, we adopted Arie (formerly known as Dory) from Homeward Trails, and she’s been a true blessing to our family ever since. Arie is a 90-pound lap dog who doesn’t quite know her size—but her heart is even bigger. She’s the ultimate cuddler, incredibly intuitive, and always seems to know when someone needs comfort.
Arie hasn’t just changed our lives—she’s transformed our pack. She’s brought a playful energy back to our older dog, Alice, and taken on a loving, protective role with her younger brother, Archie. Whether she’s snuggling on the couch or standing guard over her siblings, Arie is the glue that keeps our little family together. We’re forever grateful to Homeward Trails for bringing Arie into our lives!
