PARSIPPANY — Arrabbiata is all smiles and just might be the happiest pup you will every meet! She is about 15-17 weeks old, about 22-25 pounds and she is from the Dominican Republic.
Dominican Republic is a beautiful but life can be difficult for dogs because fresh water is hard to find as well as food.
The locals call their mix breed strays Viralatas because while they are looking for food they sometimes knock over the trash cans…. Vira means flipped over and Latas means trash can. Common traits of Punta Cana island mixes are often tan colored, medium sized when full grown (35 to 40 pounds), usually a lab mixed with something else that gives them a smooth, short haired coat. They are very gentle dogs, friendly/loving dogs.
Arrabbiata foster mom says…..”Arrabbiata is so sweet you can’t help falling in love with her! She’s a independent pup… although she does love to be with you, she is content when you’re just in the same room as her and she’ll continue to play with her natural chews. She is a smart pup … she already knows the commands “ sit” and “no”, she sleeps through the night without having accidents and she is doing good with house training.
One of her favorite things to do is going for walks and meet all the neighbors, she walks nicely on the leash. Arrabbiata enjoys playing in the yard and playing with toys. She’s absolutely food obsessed… whenever you walk around with something in your hand she’s convinced it’s food. When you have a treat she will sit without you even having to tell her to. She’ll sit for her food before I put the bowl down (but she does eat it very fast so I put my hand in it to slow her down). Arrabbiata loves natural chews to play with… antlers, bully sticks, bones, etc. She tries to pick up my dog’s massive bones, convinced that she can carry them, but instead she drops them every two steps and has to drag them haha! When you come home or walk back into the room, her entire body wiggles from side to side as her tail wags! So very cute! She also leaps around like a reindeer or something haha!
All 4 legs hop up when she jumps over something (usually my dog). Arrabbiata is tall and lanky with a beautiful soft white and brown coat and she has black eyeliner around her eyes!! Simply Gorgeous!! And she has a tail that is always wagging! Every ounce of Arrabbiata is sweet! She is a fun pup! And We love her!!!”
