Ares

My story

ARES- A DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN Ares is a 5-year-old registered purebred Siberian Husky with impeccable manners and a heart of gold. More than just a pet, this intelligent and affectionate boy is a true companion. Fully house-trained and crate-trained, Ares is a well-mannered gentleman who gently takes treats and lets you know when he needs to go outside. He knows an impressive list of commands, including: sit, stay, lay down, roll over, catch, jump, speak, hug, and shake. He responds to “kennel” to go to his crate and “get in bed” to curl up in his spot, although he’d much rather sleep right next to you! He loves belly rubs, playing hide and seek or tag, and is quite the talker when he wants to connect. Ares enjoys walks and absolutely loves playing in water, whether it’s an irrigation ditch, a creek, or down at the river. He’s also a celebrity at the local D&B and knows his way around Home Depot like a pro. He’s fantastic with kids and gets along well with other dogs. Ares is incredibly in tune with his people, offering hugs when you’re feeling down, cuddling when you need some company, or snoozing nearby while you work. He truly feels like another member of the family. While he thrives on adventures, Ares also loves the indoor lifestyle. He’s happiest when he’s lounging around the house, soaking up attention, or napping in a cozy spot near his humans. Please note: Ares is not the best fit for homes with cats, chickens, or livestock. He is learning to coexist with indoor cats under close supervision, but anything outdoors is still considered fair game in his eyes. Ares does have a condition called Pannus, scarring on the surface of his eyes, exacerbated by excessive exposure to the sun. Though his vision remains unaffected for now, this condition has the possibility progress over time, causing changes to his vision. At this point there is no treatment or medication needed. He will need an adopter committed to managing this as needed.
