My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Aries is a 3-year-old, 40-pound pitbull mix who radiates pure joy wherever he goes. Funny, sweet, and delightfully quirky, Aries has a one-of-a-kind personality that makes everyone who meets him laugh. He’s the kind of dog who can turn a rough day around with one goofy grin or a happy wiggle — truly a little ball of sunshine in fur form.

Aries didn’t have the easiest start in life, but you’d never know it from his happy spirit. He’s shown so much heart and resilience, and he greets every new friend with the biggest smile and an unstoppable tail wag. His best friend recently got adopted, and now it’s Aries’ turn to find the forever home he’s been dreaming of.

Despite everything he’s been through, Aries has been wonderful with other dogs here — so much so that we now use him as our official “dog tester.” He’s patient, kind, and just wants to make friends (and maybe share a laugh or two).

Aries is equal parts goofball and cuddle bug. He loves attention, laps, and being near his favorite humans. He’s the kind of dog who reminds you every single day how good it feels to love and be loved.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will fill your home with laughter, warmth, and pure happiness — Aries is waiting for you.
