Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Aries arrived at NCCR on 10/31/23, returned due to his owner’s serious illness which prevented her from being able to care for him properly. He is an approximately 1 ½ year old neutered male mixed breed. We’re told that Aries is house trained and crate trained, knows some basic commands, walks nicely on a leash, and is working on learning to come when he’s called. He can be left alone with free access indoors. Aries gets along with other dogs and does fine around cats and other small animals. He does not enjoy nail trimming. His owner described him as friendly, outgoing, playful, and confident. He needs a moderate amount of daily exercise and enjoys playing fetch and going for walks. He is a lap dog and likes to cuddle!
Aries will be receiving knee surgery for luxating patella in both hind legs (slipping knee caps), so he will need to recuperate in a home without a lot of stairs and with a person who is able to carry him as needed.
IN FOSTER CARE
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
