Ariel: Three Legs & a Big Heart

Ariel only has three legs, but she doesn't let that stop her from being a great dog.

I almost passed by Ariel’s cage when I was trying to decide which dogs to photograph today, but something made me stop and I’m so glad I did. 

Ariel only has three legs, but you’d never know it to meet her. She’s just as sweet as she can be and gets around just fine. As a matter of fact, she’s currently being a foster mom to a lonely little puppy who was turned into the shelter. 

Ariel is so sweet and loving and has obviously gone through a tragic past – now she just wants a place where she can live the rest of her life comfortably and prove what a sweet girl she can be. Ariel is a solid white, shepherd mix.
