Arabella's Story

AGE: 1 year<br/><br/>SEX: Female<br/><br/>BREED: Shepherd/Bully Mix<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: High<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: No<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Untested<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Likely!<br/><br/>FOSTER IG: @trauzzi.and.co<br/><br/>Meet Arabella! Arabella is a playful, bouncy, happy girl who is ready to be your next adventure buddy and partner in crime. She absolutely loves spending time with her people and would happily join you for a trail walk, a forest adventure, or anything else that gets her out exploring. Once she's had her adventure, she's just as happy to settle in for a cozy evening at home. Bella is a total lover girl who adores cuddles, leaning into her people, and dramatically flopping over to offer her belly for rubs. Quality time with her favourite human is truly her favourite thing.<br/><br/>Arabella is a sweet girl who can be very friendly when she's comfortable and has a confident handler beside her. She has been wonderful meeting new people on walks and gets incredibly excited to see people she knows, wiggling her whole back end while waiting for affection. She's not vocal around the house and is fully house trained. Her ideal home will be in a quieter suburban environment, as busy city settings with lots of people and dogs have been challenging for her. Bella is not fearful, but she can be insecure and hesitant in unfamiliar situations and is still building her confidence and learning to look to her person for guidance. She has made great progress with this and was once a serial jumper, but has developed much better self-control now that she's learned the rules of the home.<br/><br/>Arabella's leash manners are still a work in progress. She can react to other dogs and is looking for a dog-free home, while squirrels and other small animals can also get her very excited and cause her to pull and bark. Her reactions have improved significantly with consistent handling and the training tools she has been working with, and she is learning to redirect her attention back to her person. Her future family should be confident, patient, and committed to continuing the training and exposure work she's already started. Bella does well in her crate and settles within a few minutes, especially with a stuffed Kong or long-lasting chew, and she is learning to be more independent around the home. Arabella has so much zest for life and so much love to give - she just needs someone willing to believe in her and show her all the adventures that are waiting for her.<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Arabella?

New Collar Collective's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Complete and submit an adoption application. All applications will be screened, and applicants will receive an email response letting you know whether your application has been approved to move to the next step in our process or not. If you have not received a response from us, first check your spam/junk folder before sending us an email. 2. You will be asked to submit two personal references, and a vet reference where applicable, as part of our process. Please make sure to let them know that they may be contacted by one of our volunteers. Veterinarian clinics will require your permission to share any information with our team. 3. A phone interview will be scheduled with one of our adoption coordinators via email or phone. 4. Your adoption coordinator will connect with one of our volunteers to schedule a home visit. Home visits will be completed virtually or in-person depending on available resources. If a virtual home visit is completed and there are any outstanding questions or concerns, New Collar Collective reserves the right to do a follow up (in person) home visit. Volunteers conducting virtual home visits will be required to direct the home visit so we are assured they have seen all areas of the home. Volunteers conducting in-person home visits will be encouraged to bring a friend along for their safety. In this case, you will be notified in advance. 5. A meet & greet will be coordinated with the animal’s foster. All members of the household (including dogs) will be required to attend the meet and greet. 6. Post meet & greet If there are no further questions or concerns, applicants will contact their adoption’s coordinator to let them know if they would like to move forward with the adoption. Adopters will be contacted to provide all contract requirements. ADOPTION POLICIES The policies outlined below are guidelines and there may be instances where an exception can be made upon the agreement of the adoption management/Board of Directors. Periodically, New Collar Collective will revisit these guidance policies to ensure they still meet the intended needs of the rescue. We do not adopt to applicants who live outside of our adoption radius. We do not ship dogs. Adopters are responsible for picking up their newly adopted pet. All pets in your household must be spayed and neutered. All pets in your household must be up to date with mandatory vaccinations. We do not allow applicants to test out a cat/dog before adoption. We expect that applicants will take the necessary time to meet with the dog or cat, talk with the foster, and ask lots of questions. Our rescues have already been through so much, we feel it is in their best interest that trials do not occur. *Exception for Foster-to-Adopt applicants All members of the household must be present during the Home Visit and the Meet and Greet. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 4. The full adoption fee is due at the time of adoption. We do not offer payment plans.
