"Hi, I'm Aria. My name means 'music' in Italian, and my soulful eyes will have you singing 'Brown Eyed Girl' every time you look into them. In Greek, my name means 'lioness,' however, I'm not really fierce like a lion, I prefer to play or cuddle. (Maybe I AM a lioness!) I'm small and young, but as a Scorpio, I'm a strong girl who respects authority at all times, but I'm a little shy at first. Once we get to know each other, I might let you give me a kiss. I'm in really good health. I take care of my body from head to toe. I like to take walks but would love to have my own exit when I need personal time. Just a small door is all I need. I don't plan on having kids of my own but will love any that you have. If you think you could fall in love with these eyes and of course my cute face, give me a click."

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
