About Aries

Aries is a medium-sized border collie and blue heeler mix, born December 16, 2021. At his previous home, Aries was loving and well-behaved with his female owner but became reactive and overly protective toward her husband and their dog. He’s not a fit for households with other dogs or cats and really needs a highly experienced adopter who understands reactivity. Aries has been working with a professional trainer, and with proper introductions to people and dogs, he can become a deeply loyal and loving companion. His protective streak can be a strength in the right hands, but he’s not a project for beginners. If you’re confident with dogs that need clear boundaries and lots of structure, Aries could really bond with you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
