About Ares

Ares is a sweet, scared puppy in need of a supportive foster home experienced with under-socialized dogs. He’s been in the shelter for about three weeks and is currently on medication to help him cope. Ares would thrive in an environment with another dog who can guide him in learning how to be a typical pup. He experiences high stress in the shelter and would really benefit from a quiet, loving home where he can decompress and grow. Born on June 8, 2026, Ares is only four months old, making him a baby in every sense. If you think you can help Ares become the dog he’s meant to be, consider opening your heart to this special puppy. Your new best friend is just one click away.
