This dog is listed by an owner, not a rescue
LocalPetFinder verifies the owner's email but does not vet the dog, the owner's identity, or the rehoming reason. You are entering a private arrangement with the owner.
5 quick safety steps for a private rehoming
- Plan a meet-and-greet at a neutral public location before any commitment.
- Ask for vet records and the dog's microchip number.
- Verify the dog matches the photos and description in person.
- Never send money before meeting the dog in person.
- Trust your instincts. Walk away from anything that feels wrong.

Why Arya Needs a New Home
This is a very difficult decision because Arya is deeply loved. Due to changes in my schedule, work responsibilities, and personal circumstances, I have realized that I am not able to give Arya as much time and attention as she needs and deserves. She currently spends a significant amount of time in daycare during the week, and I want to find her a home where she can have more quality time, attention, exercise, and stability. I am rehoming her responsibly because her well-being is my priority, and I want to find the best possible family for her.
About Arya
Arya is a sweet, intelligent, playful, and energetic young dog. She is a mix of German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd. She loves playing fetch, going for walks, and spending time with her people. She is very smart and learns quickly. She has a lot of energy and would do best with an active family who has time to give her exercise, attention, training, and affection. She is still young and continuing to learn and grow. Arya is loved very much and deserves a family who will be committed to her for her entire life.
