About Aries

Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Lab
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Aries is a 3 year old, brindle pit bull/lab mix. She weighs in the 60-70 lb. range. Aries was surrendered to us because she allegedly wasn't getting along with other dogs and people in her household; during her wellness check, we learned Aries' ears were so infected that the ear canals had re-routed themselves. Imagine what that kind of ear infection would do to *your* temperament; imagine how it would make *you* feel. A bit 'snappy' maybe? Like you want to lash out in pain? Think about it. If left untreated, how would those ears impact *your* behavior towards other animals and people? Aries is ready for a fresh start. Here's what Aries needs: 1. Aries had 8 healthy puppies at our shelter; she cared for them non-stop, with only short potty breaks; her puppies gorged themselves on her milk; they grew fat and sassy sucking the nutrients out of their mom, and developed such sweet and playful personalities that they quickly found forever homes. Now it's Aries turn to be nursed and pampered with high value food, fun, and affection. 2. Aries may need to be your only dog, or she may just be picky about her dog friends; she tries to argue with other dogs in the kennel but recently was introduced to shelter dog Zane, outside through the fence with no cross words or body language; just consider that if you were confined to a noisy, cinder block stall with 8 pups hanging off your multiple breasts like l lb. leaches every minute of your day, you might be bitchy too. 3. Kids: only kids over 12 or no kids at all. No offense, but this dog has experienced more than her share of meanness--only kids that are kind, respectful, and gentle will be approved for Aries. 4. Cats: please don't ask us how Aries does with cats; we don't have that information, and since Aries is not in a home right now we can't test her in a home with cats; if you have cats but no experience introducing a shelter dog to cats, or if you have cats and aren't sure how to keep them safe with a new shelter dog in the house, then don't apply for Aires. If you've had success introducing a shelter dog to your cat(s) in the past, then *do* consider adopting Aires. 5. Aries has always been gentle and polite with our volunteers; she doesn't charge her gate to go outside; she waits politely while you clip her leash on, she walks 'wonderfully' on leash according to one of our long time volunteers, loves her walks, and is as sweet as can be. 6. Aries has been so busy as a full time mom, nurturing and protecting her pups, that we havn't practiced dog training; lots of moms benefit by going back to school after raising their pups; Aires is no different; some training at dog school would be great for Aires. 7. Only dedicated dog people should inquire. Aries will bloom into something special with responsible leadership, exercise, affection, and love. We can hardly wait for that romance to begin. 8. Don't apply unless you won't give up. If you're ready to commit, contact Tri-County Animal Rescue Center on Facebook, call 814-918-2032, or email: [email protected]
