Our tiny little Asher is approximately 8 weeks old and weighs just 4 pounds. We believe he may be a Jack Russell Terrier mix, but we are still waiting on his DNA test, so his breed and even his adult size are still a bit of a mystery! Asher is absolutely full of life! He is playful, curious, fearless, incredibly smart, and has all the energy you would expect from a puppy. He is already using puppy pads in his playpen and has even mastered the stairs to the couch! Because he is still so tiny and delicate, Asher needs a family that understands the special care young puppies require. At this age, he needs frequent meals, careful supervision outdoors, and with the summer heat, he will need to spend most of his time inside where his body temperature can be safely regulated. Asher loves other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion. However, because he is a typical puppy who is constantly playing, biting, and tugging, any resident dog must have an excellent temperament—patient enough to tolerate puppy antics while appropriately correcting him if needed. He is basically a baby with teeth and no diapers! We would love for Asher to begin bonding with his forever family as soon as possible, so we are looking for a Foster-to-Adopt home.
Ideal Home
A securely fenced yard is required (no invisible/electric fences). Children must be 8 years of age or older due to his tiny size and delicate nature. Someone home enough to provide the time, supervision, and commitment that such a young puppy needs. An understanding that his breed mix and adult size are still unknown until we receive his DNA results. Must live within one hour of the Cleveland area.
Ongoing Health
Dogs Unlimited Rescue will remain Asher's legal owner until he is neutered at approximately 6 months of age. During that time, we will cover all approved veterinary care and medical expenses. We are also requiring that all vet care during this time is provided by Midwest Veterinary Hospital in Wickliffe, OH. Once he is neutered, the adoption will be finalized.
Training & Support
Asher is a puppy and will require continued socialization and training. He is already using puppy pads in his playpen and has mastered the stairs to the couch.
