Meet Beth. She is a bundle of energy. She goes crazy for squeaky toys and treats. Beth was absolutely terrified when she came into the shelter, but quickly remembered how much she loves humans! Her foster says "Beth is the sweetest; she has lots of fun energy! She is friendly and after she is done running and sniffing around, she’ll cuddle up next to you. She’s a smart cookie but needs some training and patience"

Story
Ares is a goofy, enthusiastic guy who approaches life with his whole heart. He’s an affectionate, people-loving dog who thrives on connection and is always excited to be part of whatever’s happening around him. Whether he’s playing a game of tug or fetch, soaking up attention, or leaning in for a solid round of butt scratches, Ares is happiest when he’s with people. He has a fun, energetic personality and would love an adopter who enjoys staying active and including their dog in daily adventures. Ares does well with other dogs. He may need a little time to warm up at first, but once he does, he’s all in and ready to play. He’s been enjoying the comfort of a consistent routine and is doing great with training. He already knows sit and down and is currently working on place. At the end of a busy day, Ares is more than happy to settle in for cuddles and quality time. He would be a wonderful match for someone looking for an adventure buddy who also appreciates a good snuggle on the couch.
