I've only known Arreyla for a short time as her foster. One thing I can say is if her name had a meaning it would be happy girl. Every time I engage with her the tail is wagging and I sometimes get a whole body wag! She is such an affectionate, loving, wonderful girl! And so smart! She is eager to learn and picks up new things quickly. 

Arreyla enjoys toys and seems to prefer playing with them on her own.  Look at this  video and this video  and even this one for proof of sweet Arreyla loving her toys!   However, any chance she gets she will lay right next to, or on, you!  She has a great mix of quiet play energy and chill skills!  While she is the queen cuddle bug at home her social side shines through when she's out and about.

Arreyla loves people and eagerly greets anyone she meets. She enjoys her walks and will pull to make sure she takes it all in. She does fine meeting other dogs in public, and will hang out with them at a safe distance, but she is not too sure once they start to get too close. Very slow and short intros are a must for this girl to be comfortable with most dogs. She seems to do well with dog savvy cats.

In keeping with her love-being-by-her-people approach to life (check out this video of her taking in all the love), she would prefer sleeping with you, but does fine in her crate...after voicing her displeasure before settling down.

If you're looking for an easy, affectionate, doting sweetheart of a girl 'Reyla is it!  Her only ask is for a patient home that will give her the time and guidance she needs to reassure her new things are good and continue building her confidence.
