If an Aries dog chooses to adopt you, make sure you have a lot of energy. The first sign of the Zodiac, they are spirited and vivacious with an antic sense of humor.
![border collie sitting in front of Taurus zodiac sign Photo](https://p-cdn6pet.jmsinf.com/tmp/image-thumbnails/milkbone/birthdays/horoscopes/image-thumb__10747__auto_c41957ae6febad517474bb96fcc75436/Taurus_Milkbone-List_red.jpg 1x, https://p-cdn6pet.jmsinf.com/tmp/image-thumbnails/milkbone/birthdays/horoscopes/image-thumb__10747__auto_0861875af95e53ea23c6d3e61d0c10b6/Taurus_Milkbone-List_red.jpg 2x)
A Taurus dog is inherently shy and has a great need for security. They don't like to ride in the car, hate to move and abhor loud noises and chaos of any kind. Some call these dogs lazy, but others prefer to say they are extra cuddly and are always up snuggles in their favorite sunny spot. If you have a Taurus pup, you likely already know how they seek out stability and thrive with a consistent routine. Try not to argue in front of your little Taurean and take more care on July 4th with your Taurus pooch than you would with other signs. Both thunderstorms and fireworks send them into a tizzy. Although very sweet, Taurus dogs are ruled by Venus and are known to be quite headstrong—not surprising considering this sign is also represented by the bull.

A Gemini dog is an excellent companion for owners who enjoy a lot of outdoor activity. Ruled by Mercury, these pups are intelligent and excitable; they require a big yard to race around in or long walks to burn off nervous energy. If you choose a Gemini pup, you should certainly have the space or some sort of plan to help them exercise. Some dogs can be a bit rambunctious and turn to naughty behavior if they aren’t given the opportunity to burn some energy off. They also have a very low boredom point and need constant changes in scenery, toys, activities, and food types. The more exotic the better – they are food adventurists.
Gemini dogs love trying new treats and discovering new flavors along the way. And, of course, your furry friend deserves only the best. There are two delicious Milk-Bone® treat options that are sure to satisfy your Gemini’s curiosity. The first is the new Milk-Bone® Comfort Chews made with USA- raised beef. These yummy treats are a great way to relax and distract your dog after a long walk or trip to the park. Or, for something a bit more innovative, try the Milk-Bone® GravyBones® Dog Biscuits. Whenever your Gemini dog sees this box you can expect some excited tag wags!
