My name is Aries!

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

12/12 This boy is striking!! He started at Paws in Prison this week. While there, he’ll work with inmates as well as a dog trainer to learn the basics, leash walking, etc. He’ll graduate in 8 weeks with his canine good citizen certificate and then he’ll be ready to go to his new home! Who is going to be the lucky family to adopt this handsome fella?

This is Aries who has one brown eye and one piercing blue one, which give him what’s commonly called an intense gaze. It’s like he has X-ray vision and can see through you and into the back corners of your mind. He can’t, but that blue eye does look magical! He’s a striking Catahoula mix and has the spots to prove it. Aries is house trained and enjoyed interacting with the pre school aged child in the home he was fostered in. He is very much a catahoula personality, with a need for exercise and stimulation. He can be stubborn, but he also loves big and is a lot of fun to be around. Aries is about 10 months old. We don’t have his weight yet, but a preliminary guesstimate puts his adult weight at 65 pounds. We’ll adjust that when we get more info. Aries is a people dog and gets along fine with other dogs. He’s bright, friendly and eager to make friends of all. The inmate trainers will work on his commands, manners and focus. He’s still a puppy with a short attention span. Aries needs direction, attention and love. The inmates teach him all that and more. Our prediction…Aries will be a superstar!

He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative , and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

He is very much a catahoula personality, with a need for exercise and stimulation. He can be stubborn, but he also loves big and is a lot of fun to be around. He is a good boy who would benefit from some training, but has the potential to be a great buddy. He would do great as an agility dog or just a hiking/running partner!

Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.
