Meet Aries
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Aries – formerly known as Pily – and I’ve already had quite a journey! I was rescued in San Miguel with my best friend Topanga after surviving on the streets and dodging danger. Once we were safe, spayed, and healed, we were supposed to return to street life… but we stayed at the shelter door, waiting. We knew we were meant for something better – a loving home.
I’m a gentle, sweet girl who takes her time to trust, but once I do, I absolutely love cuddling. I enjoy toys, quiet walks, and the safety of calm companionship. If you’re a patient person with a soft voice and kind heart, I could be your perfect match.
HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I lived peacefully in the “Chill Dogs” group in Mexico and have done well with calm dogs. I can get overwhelmed in busy environments, so I’d do best with a gentle, easygoing dog — or as your one and only.
HOW AM I WITH CATS:
Unknown – FOHA can cat-test me upon request.
HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
Because I’m shy and easily startled, a calm adult-only home or one with older, respectful kids would be best.
I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Still learning! But I’m smart and eager to please once I feel safe.
MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I’m still adjusting to new environments. I was nervous in the kennel at first but relaxed once I was in a quieter office. With time, love, and a consistent routine, I’ll thrive.
THINGS I LIKE:
Toys, gentle affection, calm walks, cuddles, and feeling safe.
THINGS I DISLIKE:
Loud noises, fast movements, and too many changes too quickly. I need time to adjust.
ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:
Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy for training and behavior support, slip lead leash, 1 bag starter food, 1 month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical procedures as recommended by our vet.
