What's up dog?
I first met Aria when 'Chained Dog Rehab & Rehome' visited my workplace with a group of dogs to rehome. I instantly fell in love with Aria's friendly, engaging personality. That day I started the process to adopt her. Best decision ever! She's such a bundle of happiness & positivity. You can't help smiliing when you're with her. She accompanies me when I go into the office once a week and I swear it's her favourite day. The 1.5hr commute doesn't phase her....she can't wait to get into the car. And when we arrive she races into the office to say hello to everyone. She brings a lot of smiles & joy to everyone she encounters, including other office dogs. I'm sure her presence makes a positive difference to some people's stressful busy day. Her sweet, bubbly nature is infectious. I love that my workplace is where I first met Aria, & I can continue to share what I love about her with my colleagues.
