- Arabella has made amazing progress in the short time she has been fostered . She went from being fearful of everything to slowly warming up and getting comfortable with her surroundings , although she takes some time to warm up to a new person, it happens much quicker now. She came from a shelter; we do not know her history. When her foster comes home she gets up to greet, wagging her tail. She sleeps all night outside of her crate with no issues whatsoever, but also loves her crate during the day, door open or close, she will sleep in it .Arabella will flourish in a quiet home , one that will have the patience to wait for her to warm up, but once she does, she will be an absolute joy to have, she is such an amazing little dog.
