Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 11-year-old Arya.

Here is Baypath’s description of Arya:

“At 11 years old, Arya is proving that age is just a number. This sweet, spirited and gentle girl is currently thriving in her foster home — where she’s known to curl up for a bedtime story read by her young foster sibling. (She’s a great listener, too!)

“Equal parts loyal companion and outdoor enthusiast, Arya is always up for an adventure — whether it’s hiking, swimming or simply riding along in the car. She’s a well-mannered house guest, fully house-trained and familiar with basic commands like sit, down, come and paw.

“Arya is also incredibly social. She’s previously lived with children, dogs, cats and even chickens — making her one of the most easygoing and adaptable dogs you’ll meet.

“At the end of the day, Arya’s favorite place is by your side. She’s affectionate, calm and ready to share her golden years with a family who will love her as much as she loves them.”
