Wahoo! My human has arrived! Hi, my name is Ares, and I am an adorable ball of cuteness just waiting for my furever home. I?m ready and willing to hop in the car with you and go on lots of big adventures. Since I?m still young and learning all about this big ol? world, I?m going to need you to teach me lots of cool stuff. I?ll do just about anything in exchange for a treat! Lots of playtime would be great since I?m going to have a ton of energy to burn. Once I?m ready, maybe we can go to the dog park so I can work on making new friends. Obedience classes would also be a great way for us to bond and teach me my grown-up manners. This all sounds so much fun, so let?s hurry up and get started! I currently weigh ~31 lbs. and may reach ~50-60 lbs. when full grown. *I am currently living at the holding center- please speak with an adoption counselor about meeting me.* ~My adoption fee is $150.00.~
Cats? Unknown. Dogs? Yes.
Children? Unknown. Housetrained? Unknown.
How did I get here? Returned because my owner was moving.
Something extra? I was returned with Zeus, another dog here at the SPCA- you know you want both of us!


Many adoptions will take approximately 1 hour or more.

Adoption requirements and tips
to speed up the adoption process:

Please be able to provide a valid photo I.D. with your current address (If your I.D. does not reflect your current address, bring a piece of mail with your name and address on it)

Be able to prove that you are allowed to have a pet where you live (proof of home ownership or a copy of your rental lease including the specific pet policy)

Bring along all members of your household, including dogs for an introduction to a new dog. However, we do recommend meeting with an adoption counselor before involving children in the pet selection process. To avoid longer wait times, we strongly recommended that dog-to-dog meetings take place after 1:00pm.
