Just like an aria in an opera, this star is ready to shine! We are so proud of Aria’s progress since arriving to ARK. Seeing that she hardly had any contact with people before arriving, she would cower in fear and refuse to even be touched by anyone. She never had any aggression in her, but more just a deep fear and distrust towards people. ​Although Aria isn’t quite ready to cuddle on her own accord, she has begun to let us touch her and is slowly easing her stance towards the staff and visitors. In fact, she is always the first to come to the gate to say hello. In the past, the idea of even going on a walk was so new to her, that she would just freeze in place. Now, Aria lets even first timers take her out! She has come such a long way and we hope someone kind and patient will fall in love with our girl and take her to her forever home.
