They brought her in for her first checkup and learned that she was born with focamelia, an abnormality often seen in infants whose mothers ingested a poison during a critical period of gestation.

Ariel was maturing daily; she was learning shelter manners and how to be a social canine, and she was winning over the hearts of the shelter’s celebrity residents.
A shelter volunteer who fell in love with her made the decision to take her in as a foster pet. He also owned a large number of additional canines. Ariel quickly felt at ease with him and forged close bonds with the pack’s other canines.
