Description:

I have never met a more mellow laid back dog in my entire life, than Aries.  His
activity level equates to this; picture a hammock, cooler with 6 pack...duuuuuude. 
We lovingly refer to him as a dufus.  His favorite activity is wagging his tail. 
His favorite place is at your feet or in your lap, gazing adoringly into your eyes
and being petted.  When he has soaked up all the affection he can, he will lay down
close to you and sleep.

He is very much a people pleaser.  He has mastered; no, leave it, come, sit, off. 
He even responded appropriately to commands from the 2 year old grandson.  He is
submissive to dogs and humans, and is spectacular when it comes to children.  I have
yet to see him break into a run, a gentle lope seems to be his top speed.  He will
go off exploring with the pack, but returns frequently for people checks.  He is a
very, very, very, good boy.

When he grows into his feet, he will be one humongous boy.  His feet are even bigger
than our 100 lb male Shepherd.  He exhibits more Golden Retriever traits than
Shepherd traits, and indeed looks more like a Golden with a dye job.

Aries is a polydactyl, having an extra toe on each back foot almost a dew claw. 
He is also housebroken.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
