Ares

My story

Meet handome Ares! He is a very sweet boy who is looking for his perfect family! He is four and a half years old and is a pretty petite boy! He is a very goofy boy who gets cold very easily so he loves to wear sweaters! He is a very laidback pup who loves to nap on the couch all morning! He loves to watch the TV with you but hates any dogs on screen or anything that could possibly be a dog. Ares isn’t much into chew toys but loves a good treat! Bully sticks are his favorite! Ares is currently working through relearning his basic recall commands and building his confidence. He will need a patience and positive reinforcement to help in this process. He is crate trained but not comfortable to stay in for long periods of time, but is perfectly fine loose in the house alone and does well. He would have to meet a kitty before living with one. He was very curious with the one he met, so that would depend on the cat. Ares is barrier reactive so anyone walking by an outdoor fence or through a gate that he can see will trigger him. He will need some positive reinformcent and redirection with this behavior. Ares has grown up in a dog daycare and is perfectly fine in a group setting. One on one encounters will need to be taken slowly as he can get protective of his humans. He is not comfortable around cats or children and will need work in those areas to be able to settle down around them. He would do best in a house with older children. He loves to go for walks and would be the best adventure buddy! He will need continued confidence building and redirection at times with his leash manners.       The perfect forever home would be a home that his new family would continue and follow through with his training needs . He deserves the best new family, and his handsome face will melt your heart! He would do amazing in a home with another confident dog to show him around and make him more comfortable! He loves all of his All Paws retreat friends and family AND it would be amazing if his new family would continue to bring him.
