Aries - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia

After more than two years in the shelter as part of a court case, Aries is finally getting the chance to learn what home life is all about! This 70-pound sweetheart is a big, lovable guy who enjoys being petted, following his people around, and settling in for a good nap. Once comfortable, he becomes a sleepy cuddle bug who loves curling up on the couch or snoozing alongside his favorite people and chill dog friends.

Aries is crate and potty trained, has done well with cats, and can enjoy the company of other dogs with the right match. He especially loves being rambunctious with other dogs, but does best with calm, dog-savvy dogs indoors and needs slow introductions.

Aries is still learning some of the basics of home life. He needs a a single-level home, as stairs are currently difficult for him. He also isn’t ready for traditional leash walks and can be a strong, enthusiastic guy when excited. He will need a home committed to helping him learn good habits so he can be the best boy for you.

Aries is looking for patient, experienced adopters who will give him time to settle in and continue learning. Beneath all that big-dog goofiness is a really sweet, handsome boy who just wants to be loved and be close to you.
