At 6.5 years young and 19 pounds, Ashby is a Mini Schnauzer with a gentle heart and one big goal in life: be wherever his people are. If you’ve been looking for a constant companion who thinks couch cuddles are a competitive sport, Ashby is ready to apply for the position.
Ashby is a sweet, devoted boy who bonds deeply with his humans. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to exist in your orbit — whether that’s relaxing on the couch, following you around the house, or heading out for a nice stroll around the neighborhood.
His resume is pretty impressive:
✔️ House trained
✔️ Crate trained (he tolerates it like a polite gentleman)
✔️ Knows basic commands
✔️ Walks beautifully on a leash
✔️ Rides well in the car
Ashby has low energy overall, but don’t mistake that for boring — he gets genuinely excited about walks and quality time with his people. Food is definitely his love language, which makes continuing training nice and easy.
His adorable little quirks:
Ashby is such a polite boy that he doesn’t even jump on the couch… but he would very much appreciate a little boost so he can snuggle beside you. Honestly, we respect a king who waits to be invited.
The honest stuff:
Ashby can be vocal when he hears noises or sees new people, but he responds well to correction and settles when told “no.” He may be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly once he feels safe.
Ashby gets along well with other dogs and would do fine with respectful kids who understand how to be gentle with him. He would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not. He thrives on companionship and wants to be part of daily life, not just a background character.
A fenced yard would be wonderful for him, along with regular walks to keep him happy and confident.
If you’ve been searching for a loyal, loving companion who will happily spend his days by your side, Ashby may just be your perfect match.

Please note:
The dog you’re applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network. Don’t worry though — we’re always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!).
