Animal Profile
Aria
Hello, my name is Aria. My animal id is #78553. I am a desexed female brindle dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 2 months old.
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 10/11/2019.
Reserved
Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
Aria is at risk for behavioral reasons. Aria has shown reactivity towards other dogs and would benefit from reward based training and behavior modification from a new hope partner. Medically, she has a skin condition which may need further care.

Aria's #BoroughBreak volunteer writes: "Like a true Stark, Aria is a hardy girl with a big heart. Hardy enough to go on a hike even when the weather is getting cold, and with the heart so big that she gives you unconditional love just for being next to her. This week Aria got a chance to go on a #boroughbreak for an out-of-town Upstate New York history hike. What an amazing experience to explore the countryside around Old Croton Aqueduct! Smelling grass, leaves, and trees, learning about 19th-century architecture, and even browsing a College Campus. Aria is an excellent hiking companion. Eager to explore, but never pulling on a leash. Knowing how to follow basic commands, to give you a chance to stop and take some photos. And a great car passenger to boot- never commenting on your driving skills. Aria is waiting to love someone forever. Take her on more adventures, or just let her snooze next to you on a coach. Spend some time to train her more, or get her completely spoiled. Be that very special one for her, and she'll pay you back with years of happiness."

Summary (1):: From Boroughbreak: “Like a true Stark, Aria is a hardy girl with a big heart. Hardy enough to go on hike even when the weather is getting cold, and with the heart so big that she gives you unconditional love just for being next to her. This week Aria got a chance to go on a #boroughbreak for an out-of-town Upstate New York history hike. What an amazing experience to explore the countryside around Old Croton Aqueduct with a couple of humans! Smelling grass, leaves, and trees, learning about 19th century architecture, and even browsing a College Campus. Aria is an excellent hiking companion. Eager to explore, but never pulling on a leash. Knowing how to follow basic commands, to give you a chance to stop and take some photos. And a great car passenger to boot– never commenting on your driving skills. Aria is waiting to love someone forever. Take her on more adventures, or just let her snooze next to you on a coach. Spend some time to train her more, or get her completely spoiled. Be that very special one for her, and she’ll pay you back with years of happiness.”.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Aria so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 11/21 While Aria remains social in the care center with handlers, she has become increasingly challenging to manage due to the intensity of her dog reactivity. Aria appears highly stressed and frustrated in kennel due to the presence of the other dogs; she has been observed to hard bark, growl and lunge in kennel towards them and is unable to readily settle.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Aria's reported behavior in her previous foster home--growling, lunging and nipping at the foster's roommate--we recommend an adult-only home. Place with a New Hope partner: In Aria's previous foster home, Aria met the foster's roommate and immediately began growling, lunging and nipping at the roommate. Aria was separated in another room and would growl, bark and lunge at the door whenever the roommate walked by. Due to this behavior, we recommend Aria be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Aria to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing her to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Aria presents with outside of the care centers. Single pet home/no dog parks: Due to observed reactivity toward other dogs, a single dog residence is recommended.
Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration
Potential challenges comments:: On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center, Aria hard barks, lunges and growls at a dog she passes while on leash. She may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs. See handout on On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: In Aria's previous foster home, Aria was social with the foster. Upon meeting the foster's roommate, Aria immediately began growling, lunging and nipping at the roommate. Aria was separated in another room, and would growl, bark and lunge at the door whenever the roommate walked by. We recommend guidance and safe management of any behavior she presents with outside of the care center. Please refer to the handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression.
