Meet Gordo 2 — affectionately known as Arianna Grumpy! Don’t let the nickname fool you — this sweet girl is anything but grumpy. Arianna is a tender, gentle-hearted companion who’s slowly but surely blossoming into a confident, affectionate, and loving dog. She has a soft, thoughtful soul and a calm presence that makes her the kind of dog who quietly brightens your day just by being near you. Once she feels safe, she loves to stay close — offering gentle nuzzles, loving eye contact, and cozy companionship.Arianna has adjusted beautifully to home life.

She’s still a bit shy in new situations, but her confidence is growing quickly. Her foster family describes her as “sweet, funny, and sensitive — the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart without even trying.”This smart girl already knows sit, stay, wait, and kiss, and she’s eager to learn more. She loves food puzzles, chew toys, and little games that make her think, and she’s happiest when she’s doing something she understands. Arianna takes a small dose of trazodone to help her stay calm as she continues adjusting to new experiences, and she’s thriving under that gentle support.Arianna would likely do best as the only dog in a calm, patient home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace.
