A 1-year-old black and white dog is looking for his forever home after many months at an animal care shelter. 

Meet Aries.

The mixed-breed pooch is at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care and Control shelter in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

The 50-pound pup is named after an astrology sign signifying boldness and ambition and is hoping someone is bold enough to offer him a fresh start.

Aries arrived at the shelter in December 2022 and is still looking for his forever home. 

Aries has many skills up his sleeve, such as sitting, lying down and walking on a leash, the shelter notes.

As a trained dog, Aries can also ride well in the car for on-the-go activities when asked.

He is also known to play well with other dogs and gets along well with various breeds of dogs, according to the shelter.

Aries has improved his greeting skills for friends and strangers and is continuing to be trained on commands such as "stay" and "come."

Aries is neutered and being cared for by a foster parent. 

The Animal Care and Control shelter (ACC) is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and is dedicated to helping pets and people through medical and support services, according to the ACC’s website.
