Story
Meet Asha!
At 13 years young and a whopping 8 pounds, Asha is a tiny lady with a big appreciation for the finer things in life: cozy beds, tasty treats, and absolutely no unnecessary excitement.
This sweet little Terrier is a professional couch potato who believes retirement should involve plenty of snuggling and very few responsibilities. She's friendly with people, gets along with dogs and cats, and has a particularly funny habit of sneaking into her foster sister Taffy's bed. The moment Taffy comes looking for her spot, Asha makes a quick exit. Apparently, this little lady knows exactly how far she can push her luck!
Asha is blind and has some hearing loss, but she's perfectly content enjoying life at her own leisurely pace. She has cataracts and dry eyes that require daily medication, although she'd like it officially noted that eye drops are not her favorite activity. She also has a small skin condition on her lower back that has been treated and is healing.
Asha isn't leash-trained, so a fenced-in yard is a must. She does best with a consistent routine, including potty breaks every few hours, and needs help navigating stairs. She's perfectly comfortable relaxing at home without her humans and doesn't need to be crated. She can also ride in the car, although a secure carrier or doggie car seat helps her feel more comfortable.
Her dream home? Somewhere quiet and calm, with a family who appreciates a slower pace, enjoys snuggling, and is home much of the day. She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet little shadow to share their days.
Asha may not need much excitement in her life, but she has plenty of love to give. All she's missing is a cozy spot to call her own, preferably one she won't have to surrender when Taffy shows up!
