Story
(DOB 05/01/2022) Aspen is a gorgeous 45-lb. mix of beauty and energy. She has a heart full of love and excitment! She's the perfect workout partner whether it's a long hike, a run around the neighborhood, or a good 'ole game of fetch, Aspen is always ready to go. And when the fun winds down, she’s just as happy to curl up on your lap (yes, she still thinks she’s lap-sized!) and steal a few kisses and cuddles. Her ideal home could be with a single active person, a couple, or a family with older dog-savvy children who can give her the exercise, structure, and affection she craves. (Aspen will skip a home with little ones, her personality & energy is just not the right fit.)
Aspen is loyal and protective, especially with her people. She’s tends to be one who wants to be in charge of other dogs so proper introductions are the way to make new friends a polite and positive one! She is also, people-submissive at home. While she doesn’t resource guard with humans, she is fed separately in her crate because she can’t resist the urge to swipe tasty snacks...heck, we all do it once in awhile! She’s lived with small dogs before but would do best as an only dog or with other confident, similarly-sized pups.
This girl is food-motivated, which makes her highly trainable and eager to please. She’s crate trained, house trained, and on a consistent schedule – up between 6–8 AM for breakfast and potty, and then back out in the evening for dinner, playtime, and bedtime in her cozy crate. Do you love training dogs and the whole unique bond that goes along with that??? Then BIG Bonus: Aspen comes with access to a transferable lifetime dog trainer! Just cover the transfer fee, and you'll have expert support to help her continue thriving in your care.
If you’re looking for a gorgeous-head-turning, smart, loving, active companion who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and love you fiercely – Aspen is your girl. Ready to meet your new best friend?
As part of Aspen’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Aspen, you can complete an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org.
