Aria is a gorgeous girl! Her color pattern of black, tan, and white is eye-popping perfection, and her coat is thick and glossy. Her long legs go on forever and her paws are sweetly oversized. Her eyes are alert and soulful and her pointed ears could win prizes for fuzz and perkiness. Aria will probably grow some, as she is still young.

Aria has the brains to match her beauty and is sweet as she can be. Very people-oriented, Aria is eager to please and wants to know everything you can teach her.

Given her size, her tendency to jump (we’re working on that!), and her prey drive, she cannot be in a home with cats, small dogs, or children under 10. She loves playing with other dogs, having a doggy sibling would be great for her.

Aria can jump like a champion. Demonstrating that she can jump a 6ft fence, she will need to be leash-walked rather than having access to a fenced-in area.

Thrilled to try new experiences, Aria loves to walk/hike, play with toys, and learn new skills. She can get excited and is still learning her manners, so consistency is important. Aria is a fantastic sleeper. She puts herself to bed at the end of the day and sleeps all night:)

Aria is working on crate training. She is fully housebroken.

Aria has all the elements to be the perfect companion and sidekick adventurer for an active and loving household.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
