From the Coldest Day to the Warmest Heart: Meet Ash!
Age: 1.5 Years | Weight: 65 lbs | Status: Resilient Survivor & Professional Lover
Ash hasn’t had the easiest start. Likely the product of a backyard breeder, he was dumped at a city shelter, and later found himself abandoned on the streets. We rescued Ash on the coldest day of the year. Despite the neglect he faced, Ash is the definition of brave and resilient. He knows exactly what "rescue" feels like, and he shows his gratitude every single day with endless wagging tails, soulful eyes and big hugs.
Ash is a "stop-and-stare" kind of dog. At 65 lbs, he is strikingly handsome with the most brilliantly beautiful markings, but his brain is his best feature. He is incredibly smart, knows many commands, and listens beautifully. Whether he’s learning a new trick or navigating a trail, he’s a focused and eager partner.
If you want a dog who is "game for anything," Ash is your boy! He is adventurous and strong, making him the perfect companion for hiking, beach days, park trips, and neighborhood strolls. He loves exploring new terrain and feeling the wind in his fur, and he's a social butterfly who loves seeing the world. After a big day, you’ll find him in his crate, sleeping soundly on his back with his belly up—a sign of a dog who finally feels safe and loved.
Ash is a 65-pound "love sponge." He is the biggest kisser and hugger you'll ever meet and lives for belly rubs and petting sessions. He is currently living his best life in a foster home, proving every day that he is ready to be the loyal, grateful companion someone has been searching for.
