ashton

Everyone, this is Ashton - pure delight of an oversized lap dog with the most expressive ears! He's such a good, sweet boy who loves human attention and despite his size LOVES to sit in his people’s laps. And his ears!....those expressive, ever-so-adorable ears. You can see his intelligence at work as he raises those ears up and down in an effort to take in everything you’re saying. He's a terrific dog who’s not only loving and affectionate but smart, alert, loyal and athletic - all-star qualities that are guaranteed to make him a fantastic companion. Ashton was rescued as an abandoned stray, all alone and looking for a human to love. This boy was ecstatic when we made human contact with him, he was just so full of joy to be receiving love and attention, it was obvious it was something he was longing for. We knew right away he would make a lucky someone very happy. If you are looking for an intelligent, loyal, athletic, true companion that will not only soak up all the love and attention you give him but will gleefully return it then Ashton is your boy. He loves to give kisses and be with people. He makes friends easily through his charming ways. If you're sitting, Ashton will surely ask to be in your lap. Ashton would thrive in a home with daily physical and mental activity so an outdoorsy person who goes on brisk daily walks or hikes would be a great fit for Ashton. He’s just waiting to spread his happy love. He can't wait to be snuggled up next to his person being the best friend you could every dream of. His affectionate personality is endearing. Ashton is a smart boy who will bond and learn quickly. He can be a bit excitable around other dogs, so we recommend a home without another dog at least in the beginning. No cats please. Ashton is up to date with age-appropriate vaccinations, is micro-chipped and neutered. His estimated birth is around January 2023 and his weight is currently 55 lbs.

Please note, if you’re not ready to adopt but would consider fostering Ashton, we would love to share with your what that means and how much of a positive difference you’d be making in a life of a dog that needs you.
