Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Asher is such a funny boy. He warms up to new people he meets very quickly and loves to snuggle with them. Then he bounces around with gentle enthusiasm as if he has something important to tell you. Those big, beautiful marble-colored eyes stare up at you eagerly as if to ask "Ok, what's next?"
He's a gentle yet jolly boy who enjoys playing with doggy toys, kids, and other dogs! He gets along great with his foster's female dog. They share toys, play very well together, and can often be found snuggling together.
He's also great on a leash and soaks up all the attention you have to offer. He sleeps in his crate and doesn't mind going in it, and he's very well-behaved when his fosters are away from home, either in the crate or free-roaming the house.
He has also learned some new manners. He understands sit and holds in "place while waiting to be fed or let outside. And he lays down on command. And he is house-trained.
Come meet this adorable boy. He'll offer you such a snuggle!
