Meet Ariel, the sweet and resilient cocker spaniel who has overcome a tough start in life to find her forever home by the seaside. It was a heartbreaking beginning for this adorable pup, who was only 11 weeks old when she was abandoned outside a B&M store in Pembrokeshire by her heartless owners. Thankfully, she was taken in by the kind folks at Greenacres Rescue, but it was clear that she needed a new loving family to call her own.
The story of Ariel's plight quickly spread, tugging at the heartstrings of animal lovers all across the UK. This little pup, named after the beloved Disney character, captured the attention of many and soon enough, donations started pouring in to help cover the cost of her life-changing surgery. Thanks to the generosity of these animal lovers, around £15,000 was raised for Ariel's operation to remove her extra back legs. She also had two vulvas and one kidney, making her case even more unique.
Finally, after going through so much at such a young age, Ariel found her forever home with her new owners Emma-Mary Webster and Ollie Bird. This couple, who have a passion for teaching disabled individuals how to surf, had recently lost their beloved 16-year-old dog Pippin, a labrador-German shorthaired pointed cross. Despite their heartbreak, they knew that they wanted to open their hearts and home to another furry friend. When they were introduced to Ariel, it was love at first sight.
Ariel's journey to her new home was filled with love and support, as she quickly became a celebrity in her own right. Her x-ray showing her extra pair of legs was shared all over, and people couldn't help but be amazed by her resilience. Now, Ariel is living her best life, enjoying long walks on the beach and even learning how to surf with her new owners. She has become a cool surfer girl, and strangers often stop to take selfies with her. It's safe to say that Ariel adores all the attention she gets from her admirers.
Not only has Ariel found her forever home, but she has also become a part of the inclusive Blue Horizons Surf Club, which Emma-Mary and Ollie started after the pandemic hit. This club specializes in adaptive surfing lessons and boat trips for individuals of all ages with physical and mental disabilities. Ariel loves being a part of these lessons, and her playful nature never fails to put a smile on everyone's face.
It's truly heartwarming to see how far Ariel has come since her difficult start in life. She has made a full recovery and is always eager to go on walks, especially when she sees her leash. According to Ollie, the only reminder of her past is a bit of nerve damage in one of her back legs, but you would never know it by how much energy and joy she exudes. Ariel is a true inspiration, and her new owners couldn't be prouder of their sweet and resilient pup.
