Profile Information	Playful, fun-loving little dog looking for active home. Although Aries is estimated to be around 2 years old, he seems much younger and is full of puppy antics. He is super playful and loves his toys. In fact, he will gather as many as he can and bring them to his (or your) bed. And sometimes you may even find a shoe or sock among the toys! He loves to chase and wrestle with his doggy sister and it can get quite rambunctious! Aries is adorable and very affectionate. He loves to be held and will let you do practically anything to him. Even brush his teeth! He is happy boy who can get a little over exuberant with his affection and for this reason, may be a little too much for young kids. He can sometimes be timid when meeting new people but gets over as soon as they come down to his level. He will not settle in a crate and absolutely insists on sleeping in bed with you, no matter how comfy you make his dog bed! Aries is lightning fast and can get out of any door or gate before you can turn around. He comes back when you call him but not before making it all the way out to the street. His new family will have to take extra care when opening doors and gates and for this reason it may be best that he lives on a quieter street. His dream home would be an active family, possibly older kids who want to play and love on him. We feel he would absolutely benefit from having a small, playful doggy brother or sister to help him build his confidence and give him an outlet for his abundant energy! Aries was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Greece by one of our volunteers. He is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped and waiting for his dream home!
