About Aries

Aries is a vibrant 2-year-old Shepherd mix who has blossomed from 32 lbs to a healthier 46 lbs in her foster home. She's housetrained, cratetrained, and an excellent car rider. Although she’s still learning her leash manners, her energy shines through during playtime, especially with balls and tug ropes. Affectionate and eager to be close to her humans, Aries is great with both dogs and cats. However, due to her tendency to jump when excited, a home without small children might be ideal for now. Aries has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is on heartworm and flea prevention. If you're looking for an active companion who's ready to bond, Aries might just be the perfect fit.
