About dogs named Aries

The following are 20 profiles of dogs named Aries from our database of 95 dogs with the name Aries.

• “Hi! My name is Aries and I am a one year old golden retriever. I love to play and have endless amounts of energy.“

  — Abby N.

• “Aries is Axel’s sister and she’s 5 years old also she does good with strange dogs but she slow to warm and always thinks she has to stand in front of her mommy to protect her.“

  — Vera R.

• “5 year old working line aussie. Very active, very loud in play. Trials in numerous sports including flyball, agility and barn hunt.“

  — Patty L.

• “Aries is the most fun-loving, warm-hearted dog I've ever had. He's just a big bundle of love!! He grew up in Sacramento, went to dog parks a lot, and often ran 5Ks with me. Once moving to Colorado, for some reason, he became protective and could no longer go to dog parks or run 5ks, limiting his exercise. We used to go to a doggie pool up in Fort Collins, but due to covid, they've had the pool closed for a while now. I'm happy to have found this service, because he's gained some weight and needs more exercise!!! We are just looking for somewhere we can throw the ball, sniff around, and relax :)“

  — April C.

• “Aries is my puppy he is sooo friendly and social. He loves to play 😊“

  — Danielle M.

• “Doberman who looks like a bodyguard 🛡️, sounds like a thunderstorm ⛈️, but deep down? He’s a total goof. No alpha complex here — just a horse-sized dog with two main hobbies: scaring off strangers and inhaling anything that looks remotely like food. He doesn’t “steal” — in Aries’ mind, if his eyeballs 👁️ can see it, it must be his next meal. At his size, he’s tall enough to counter surf without even stretching, so absolutely nothing is safe from his “see food, eat food” philosophy. Outside, though? That’s where his real job kicks in. Aries has never met a fence line he didn’t want to patrol. Every bark 🗣️ sends strangers packing, and every time they leave, he gets a dopamine rush ⚡ that convinces him he’s the undefeated protector of the block. (And trust me, he is.) With his natural ears and tail, he leans more goofy than sleek, but his sheer size and terrifying bark keep most people from testing him. Off-leash, he’ll never run off — he’s too busy guarding home base. Crated when strangers come? He’ll go full prison guard mode until he calms down. But with his people ❤️, Aries is nothing more than an oversized marshmallow who wants to press his giant body against yours 🤗. He may be a bite risk for strangers, but for family, he’s 100% loyal 💯 — a goofy, counter-surfing foodie guard dog rolled into one. Likes: 🐾 Scaring off strangers 🍖 Counter-surfing & eating anything in sight 🏡 Patrolling his territory Dislikes: 🙅‍♂️ Strangers getting too close 🛑 Being left out of the action Aries might be intimidating at first, but underneath all that bark and bulk is a giant goofball who just wants to be part of the action.“

  — Terra M.

• “Hi I'm Aires! I'm almost 3 years old and have the biggest heart ever! I love people, pats on my head, running, jumping and chewing on ropes.“

  — Chris C.

• “Aries is the commander in chief. He likes to play and tell everyone what to do. His middle name is “loud for no reason”.“

  — Jamie G.

• “I am a 6 year old Intact Male Mastiff/Pit/Lab mix. I am a sweet boy but I like my space. My daddy got me when I was just a baby. It has been me and him ever since until he met my new mommy and baby brother. My baby brother Drakho does get on my nerves sometimes but I love him and I don’t let anyone mess with him!“

  — Taylor B.

• “I love to explore new places and meet new people. I love running around and playing with my brother.“

  — Nicole W.

• “Hi there! I’m a super energetic pup who loves going on adventures with my humans! They’re pretty laid-back, but I keep them on their toes with all my zoomies and excitement. I love playing games, running, or curling up on a cozy night in. Can’t wait to sniff out some fun!“

  — April F.

• “Aries is the kind of street dog you hope your kid brings into the family by luring it into the yard with a handful of hotdog weenies and hope. He is incredibly even-tempered, loving, affectionate and adventurous. He loves what we call "den time," which is both his parents and his brother all on the couch or relaxing in the same room. He also has a collection of "his babies" that he likes to snuggle and wrestle with. We say he has a "passion for fashion," because he loves to smell/play with fabrics.“

  — Celia V.

• “Aries is a loving active pup. She loves to explore and then take a big nap“

  — Emma T.

• “Aries is a princess. Super needy, needs lots of reinsurance to help her get confidence in anything new. Sassy girl likes to yap and be the main character. Loves her ball.“

  — Michel M.

• “Hi! I'm Aries! Mama says that some people think I'm scary at first, she says because I'm a doberman..but, I don't know what that means..I just know I'm 100% a good girl! I was born at the end of March (I really am an Aries!). I unfortunately started my life in an abusive home that my mom rescued me from. I'm learning every day that not all humans are bad and can be trusted. I'm still pretty nervous around new people and other animals (other than my brother Odin), but I'm working on it! I would love a good place to run some of this energy out! Trust me, I have plenty of it! Mom hopes we can have a fenced in yard of our own someday, but for now, we hope we can borrow another kind human's yard to play in! Thank you in advance!! I can't wait to run and play!“
