About Aries

Aries has spent over two years in shelter care due to a court case, and he's now ready to discover what life in a loving home feels like. This 70-pound sweetheart thrives on affection, enjoys following his humans around, and loves curling up for a good nap. Once Aries feels at home, he transforms into a cuddly companion, happily snoozing on the couch or beside his favorite people and calm canine friends. He's crate and potty trained, with a track record of getting along well with cats. With the right match, he can also socialize with other dogs. Aries loves to have fun and play around, but he does best with gentle, dog-savvy dogs and requires careful introductions. Currently, Aries needs a single-level home since stairs pose a challenge. He's not quite ready for traditional leash walks and can be a strong, enthusiastic pup when excited, so he'll require a dedicated owner to help him learn good behavior. He seeks patient, experienced adopters willing to help him ease into his new life. Underneath all that big-dog energy lies a gentle, loving spirit who longs for connection.
