Ashanti came to ACC as an owner surrender. She is a loving, social dog who enjoys being close to her people and soaking up affection on her own terms. While she can be cautious and vocal around unfamiliar people at first, she warms up with patience and time and shows a playful, energetic side once she feels comfortable. Ashanti is active, affectionate, and eager to engage with her favorite people through walks, play, and cuddles.
My Ideal Home
Ashanti would thrive in an adult-only home with experienced, patient adopters who can provide structure, routine, and positive reinforcement training. She will benefit from daily physical exercise, mental enrichment, and guidance to help manage her anxiety, impulse control, and excitement levels. A calm environment with predictable routines and slow introductions to new people and situations will help her feel secure and successful.
Good with Kids?
While Ashanti has previously lived with a child, ACC recommends an adult-only home at this time due to her mouthiness, handling sensitivity, and anxiety-related behaviors.
Good with Other Pets?
Ashanti should be placed in a home without cats. She can be tolerant of some dogs but may be shy, overwhelmed, or rough during play, and would do best as the only pet in the home or with careful, guided introductions.
Overall Health
Ashanti is stable overall and currently being managed for obesity. Staff will review her care needs and recommendations with potential adopters during a meet and greet.
Behavior Determination
Level 4 - Experienced Adopters Recommended. Ashanti needs a knowledgeable home that can support her with anxiety, resource guarding, mouthiness, and impulse control using force-free, reward-based training and consistent management.
Other Fun Facts
Ashanti loves going for walks, playing catch, and spending time where her people are. She enjoys peanut butter treats, squeaky and stuffed toys, and even bath time and water! Once she trusts you, she's very affectionate and eager to bond - she just needs someone willing to go at her pace 🐾 Primary Color: Gray Secondary Color: White Weight: 100 Age: 5yrs 0mths 2wks
