Ariel's Story

Current Location: Bel Air, MD<br/><br/>Hi, I'm Ariel! I may only be 13lbs, but I am 13lbs of sweetness! At 2 yrs old, I am potty trained, crate trained, and I love a good car ride. I'm an excellent co-pilot - I'm curious and love to sit up and see where we're going. <br/>I'm a social pup who gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and people (including kids)! My foster even brought me to a yoga class and though I was unsure for a minute, I soon made tons of friends and charmed everyone there. I would be happy to have another dog to play with - I love to run. But I'd be good with a human who'd take me for walks too. I LOVE my people, and get so excited when you come home - I will do a delightful little dance and curl right onto your feet so you bend down and give me belly rubs. I'm an A+ snuggler as well. I'm not sure I'd love a busy city with a lot of loud noises, but I think I could thrive in most homes! Come meet me soon - I can't wait to show you how much love this little girl has to give!

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy

Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.
