Story

Ares (A140507) is a 5-year-old Rottweiler who weighed just over 60 pounds on intake! 12/04/25 This goofy boy is Ares! Ares is quite the character and looking for his right place to call home. He was described as an outgoing, friendly, and affectionate dog. However, he does have a rough style of play and used to roughhousing with his male owner. Ares was said to be a high energy dog and does not understand his strength. When it comes to children, he will barrel into them without even realizing it. He would do best in a home without children under 12 to avoid any accidental knockovers. Ares was stated to be kennel trained, housebroken, and rides well in a car. Ares also knows the command sit and stay but does not always mind the best. He is also a very strong boy and could improve on his leash etiquette. Ares has no experience with smaller critters and was said to do well with other dogs as long as the other dog is not reactive. Appropriate introductions are important for setting him up for success.
