Story
Hi there, I’m Asher, a calm little gentleman with a soft heart and an old soul. I’m a senior Chihuahua mix, just 15 pounds, and I’ve got that quiet, tender kind of charm that makes people want to protect me and give me a safe place to live out my golden years.
Life is pretty blurry to me these days, and I don't hear so well either, so I can get startled if I’m caught off guard. Because of that, I take things slowly and would love a calm home where I can feel safe and understood.
I’m a true couch potato (although I want to stay safely on the floor) — minimal exercise needed — and I’m happiest with cozy routines, gentle company, and soft blankets. I am not a lap dog, thank you--"four on the floor" works best for me. I’m independent and easy to care for, already house trained, very quiet (I never bark), and I sleep quietly overnight. I’ve also done well with other dogs and cats in testing; I get along with dogs of any size as long as they don’t run me over! I don’t bother toys, bones or any household items — I mostly eat, potty, and sleep — and I absolutely adore dog beds and treats of any kind.
I do politely ask to go out to potty throughout the day by booping your leg and stare in your general vicinity when I need to go. A regular schedule and routine work very well for me. I'm reliable when left out and about when you're not home for moderate periods of time and I’ve learned how to use a ramp so I don’t risk falling down stairs. I’m beginning to accept gentle contact and I’m slowly warming up to the idea of soft scratches. Who knew that could feel so good?! This new life is pretty darned wonderful. Leash walking is ok to potty; I'll come along with you a bit but no long walks, please. The world is just too scary.
What you’ll get with me is a nap-loving, independent, quiet companion with a veteran’s calm and a heart of gold. If you have a soft spot for seniors and a cozy dog bed I can snooze in, I might just be your perfect, slightly-starry-eyed fellow. I'm told I'm the sweetest old man ever.
