About Asher

Meet Asher! This lovable, people-oriented dog has a moderate energy level and a huge heart. He enjoys walks, playtime, and the occasional zoomies, but he's just as happy to settle in for long naps and quiet time. Asher is great at entertaining himself and doesn't need constant activity to stay content. True to his Velcro-dog nature, Asher loves being close to his people, whether that's cuddling on the couch, tucking himself into bed beside you, or following you from room to room. His foster family is actively working with a trainer on his anxiety when left alone, and with the help of short-acting medication during longer absences, he's been doing well. Continued training and a home that can help him feel secure will set him up for success. Asher is fantastic with other dogs; he's friendly and social and plays with enthusiastic puppy energy, so supervision is important. In the home, he coexists beautifully with other dogs and enjoys cuddling alongside them. He's also wonderful with people of all ages, including children. Asher can get excited and jumpy when meeting new people, but he's gentle at heart and has done very well with toddlers when introductions are handled thoughtfully. He's curious, friendly, and eager to make friends. Asher is very food-motivated, which makes him a joy to train. He knows commands like sit, stay, stop, and paw, and he has excellent recall. He's comfortable being handled and doesn't mind paw cleaning, ear touches, belly rubs, or baths. He is also exceptional with cats; from day one, Asher has been respectful and gentle with feline friends. He may try to initiate play when excited, but he listens to their cues and backs off appropriately. Asher is an affectionate, loyal love bug who thrives on connection and companionship. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, he'll make an incredibly devoted addition to the right home.
