Story
Asher is a gorgeous, athletic Chinese Crested being fostered in Greenville, SC. He is nine years old and is a muscular 13.5 lbs. He's looking for a home where he can be the center of attention, and where his people are home more often than not. Asher really likes squeaky toys, cuddle time, and sleeping under the covers, right next to his person.  Asher came into the rescue as an owner surrender due to no fault of his own - just a change in financial circumstance. He has been around other dogs and does okay, but he is much more interested in people than the other dogs. Asher definitely shows lap guarding behavior and would rather not share his person. A home where he is the only pet would be ideal. If there is another dog in the home, it would be best if Asher is the only "lap dog" and the owner should be willing to work with him in this area. He is overly enthusiastic around cats, so they are not a good fit for him. He would be fine with kids 12 yrs and older. Even though he's technically a senior dog, he hasn't slowed down one bit! Asher has a plenty of energy and will need a home where he gets lots of opportunity for exercise and activity. He is used to regular leash walks, and also loves time outside in the yard-- especially now that the weather is warming up and there are many squirrels to chase! If his adopter does not have a fenced yard, they should be active enough to provide him with multiple walks throughout the day, including at least one lengthy outing.  Asher will do best in a home where his caretakers are home more often than not. If someone is retired, works from home, or works only part-time out of the home, that would be best. He can be crated when left home alone, and there's certainly no issue with someone being away from home for things like errands, appointments, etc. But a full-time work week would be too much time for him to be home by himself based on his energy level and other behaviors. He is very food motivated and is on a special GI diet due to his medical history. He has been great so far in foster care and an adopter should just keep him on his prescribed diet and provide him with a routine where he gets his energy out and has minimal alone time. This helps keep him emotionally balanced, which in turn keeps his system happy and healthy. This is the only health issue he has shown, and received a clean bill of health from the vet on exam. His bloodwork came back with everything normal, and the rescue has a detailed history from his last four years. Overall, Asher is a great dog and in the right home, he'll settle into a daily routine where he gets healthy food, plenty of activity, love and kindness. That's what every dog deserves! Asher is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heart worm negative, and chipped. Any interested adopter should be within driving distance of Greenville, SC- however far is reasonable for you. Applications and inquiries are welcome.March 23, 2024, 3:53 pm
