My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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 caregiver’s lap. And his ears!....those expressive, ever-so-adorable, ears. You can see his intelligence at work (and his cuteness) as he raises his big 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. We brought Ashton into our rescue when he was spotted as a stray by one of our rescue partners in a local Houston park in need of veterinary care. He showed such happiness when he was rescued, so joyful to be receiving human TLC, you could tell it was something he was longing for. We knew right then 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 his caregiver. 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 to start. 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 50 lbs. If interested, please send your request for an application to adoptions@smilingdogfarms.org

Please note we are always in need of foster homes. If interested in making a difference in a dog's life we would love to share with you what it means to be a foster parent.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We are dedicated to ensuring that our dogs go to a "forever" loving, nurturing home. As a result, our process is stringent, requiring an application, home visit, vet and reference checks and an adoption contract. We want the adoption to be a match made in heaven for both the new adoptive parents and the adopted dog.

Go meet their pets

We provide adoption opportunities for those living in the Northeast who are willing to do long distance adoptions. Many of our dogs live in Wharton, Texas but we have very safe, reliable transport to the Northeast.

More about this rescue

Smiling Dog Farms is a 501(c) non-profit animal rescue. We strive to restore hope to the forgotten, neglected and rejected unwanted dogs and puppies rescued from the streets and local kill-shelters. Each dog that enters our rescue receives their full round of vaccinations, gets spayed or neutered, micro-chipped and placed on flea and tick and heartworm prevention. Many of our dogs live in Wharton Texas, but we have very safe, reliable transport to the Northeast.
