Story
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME FOR ASHER.
Our tiny little Asher is almost 8 weeks old, weighs just 4 pounds, and we believe he may be a Jack Russell Terrier mix—but we are still waiting on his DNA test, so his breed (and even his adult size) is still a bit of a mystery!
Asher is absolutely full of life! He is playful, curious, fearless, incredibly smart, and has all the energy you would expect from a puppy. He is already using puppy pads in his playpen and has even mastered the stairs to the couch!
Because he is still so tiny and delicate, Asher needs a family that understands the special care young puppies require. At this age, he needs frequent meals, careful supervision outdoors, and with the summer heat, he will need to spend most of his time inside where his body temperature can be safely regulated.
Asher loves other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion. However, because he is a typical puppy who is constantly playing, biting, and tugging, any resident dog must have an excellent temperament—patient enough to tolerate puppy antics while appropriately correcting him if needed. He is basically a baby with teeth and no diapers!
We would love for Asher to begin bonding with his forever family as soon as possible, so we are looking for a Foster-to-Adopt home. Here is how that works:
- Dogs Unlimited Rescue will remain his legal owner until he is neutered at approximately 6 months of age.
-During that time, we will cover all approved veterinary care and medical expenses. We are also requiring that all vet care during this time is provided by Midwest Veterinary Hospital in Wickliffe, OH.
- Once he is neutered, the adoption will be finalized.
We feel this gives Asher the opportunity to grow up with the family he will spend the rest of his life with, while ensuring he receives all of his necessary veterinary care.
Requirements:
- A securely fenced yard is required (no invisible/electric fences).
- Children must be 8 years of age or older due to his tiny size and delicate nature.
- Someone home enough to provide the time, supervision, and commitment that such a young puppy needs.
- An understanding that his breed mix and adult size are still unknown until we receive his DNA results.
- Must live within one hour of the Cleveland area.
Asher is looking for more than just a home—he is looking for a family ready for all the fun, laughter, chaos, cuddles, and responsibility that come with raising a puppy. If you think you may be the perfect match for this sweet little boy, we would love to hear from you!
The first step in our adoption process is to complete an adoption application on our website at: www.dogsunlimitedrescue.org
