My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ASHER***CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com ***"WE DON'T WANT A DOG IN OUR NEW HOME TO MESS IT UP!!" IT WAS MOVING DAY EVERYTHING WAS PACKED THE FAMILY WAS MOVING INTO THEIR "DREAM HOME" THE ONLY THING THAT WASN'T GOING TO THE NEW HOME WAS ASHER THEIR PUREBRED BLACK LABRADOR. IN FACT THE LAST STOP THE FAMILY MADE ON THEIR WAY OUT OF TOWN WAS TO THE HIGH KILL SHELTER!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SHELTER DIRECTOR TELLING US THAT ONE OF THE MOST BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL LABS SHE HAD EVER SEEN HAD JUST BEEN SURRENDERED TO HER SHELTER. THE LAB WAS GIVEN UP BY HIS FAMILY BECAUSE THEY WERE MOVING INTO A NEW HOME THE WIFE HAD DECIDED THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT A DOG ON HER NEW FLOORS, SO SHE LAID DOWN THE LAW THE LAB HAD TO GO!!! THE DIRECTOR COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT SHE HEARD!! THE FAMILY TOLD HER THAT THE LAB NAMED ASHER WAS 5 YEARS OLD, HE HAD BEEN A PART OF THEIR FAMILY SINCE HE WAS A 6 WK. OLD ADORABLE "BIG" PUPPY. "HE IS A GREAT DOG HE ADORES OUR CHILDREN, SLEEPS BY THEIR BED AT NIGHT, WE USE TO TAKE HIM FOR TRIPS TO THE LAKE AND IN THE WINTER HE WOULD GO TO OUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS, HE RODE WITH MY WIFE EVERY MORNING TAKING THE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL BUT HONESTLY WE JUST DON'T WANT A DOG ANYMORE SINCE WE HAVE OUR NEW HOME!!" THEY COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK GIVING ASHER UP, AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT BROKE THE DIRECTOR'S HEART THE FAMILY TURNED AND WALKED OUT OF THE SHELTER DOOR NOT ONE OF THEM SAID ANYTHING TO ASHER. THE DIRECTOR SAID THAT ASHER TRIED TO FOLLOW THEM OUT THE DOOR BUT THEY JUST SHOOED HIM AWAY AND LEFT.!! "ASHER IS THE MOST GENTLE AND LOVING FELLOW, HE IS SO SAD HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE IS AND WHY HIS FAMILY LEFT HIM, HE IS IN A SCARY SITUATION FOR NOT BEING A BOUNCING PUPPY OR A YOUNG ADULT AND BLACK THE COLOR LEAST ADOPTED THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT ASHER WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE SHELTER!!! THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT ASHER JUST LAID IN THE CORNER OF HIS CAGE, EYES CLOSED, WONDERING WHERE HIS FAMILY WAS? **SEE THE SHELTER PICTURE SHE SENT US 4TH PICTURE**WHEN WE HEARD THIS SAD SAD STORY AND SAW THIS HEARTBREAKING PICTURE OF THIS SWEET SWEET FELLOW IN A CAGE WE COULDN'T GET TO ASHER FAST ENOUGH, WHEN WE FIRST SAW ASHER WE REACHED DOWN, GAVE HIM A PAT, SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS BEAUTIFUL BLOCK HEAD, LAID IT IN OUR HANDS AS IF HE WAS ASKING US TO HELP HIM!!!! WE DID!!! ASHER LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, TAIL WAGGING, EYES TWINKLING AND A FACE THAT TRULY SEEMED TO SMILE. FATE GAVE US ASHER THAT DAY, A TRUE TREASURE, IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BEEN SEEN IN THE FACE AND EYES AND THIS IS SO TRUE WITH ASHER. HIS GORGEOUS, GENTLE FACE DOES TELL A STORY, THE STORY OF A TRUE COMPANION WHO HAD DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO HIS FAMILY THE FAMILY WHO JUST THREW HIM AWAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT HIM IN THEIR NEW HOME, HE WAS BETRAYED. IN SPITE OF THIS TRAGEDY ASHER'S FACE HOWEVER TRULY DOES SEEM TO SAY "I LOVE YOU". ASHER IS AS LOVING A FELLOW AS YOU WILL EVER MEET BUT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT ASHER IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. HE IS A PUP WHO LOVES DEEPLY AND FOREVER. ALTHOUGH ASHER DID NOT DESERVE THIS DISLOYALTY FROM HIS OWNER, DESPITE THIS AND WHAT ALMOST ENDED ASHER'S LIFE HE HOLDS NO GRUDGE AND IS HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY. ASHER NEVER MEETS A STRANGER FROM CHILDREN TO SENIORS. HE WILL GREET YOU WITH HIS OTTER TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING, GIVING YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "HI I'M ASHER NICE TO MEET YOU". HE IS ALSO A VERY SOCIAL GUY WHO DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS. ASHER IS A PUP THAT CAN HOLD HIS OWN AND WILL PLAY WITH THE BEST OF THEM, HOWEVER HE ALSO KNOWS WHEN IT IS TIME TO BE CALM AND WILL SETTLE DOWN CONTENT JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES, BEAUTIFUL MANNERS!! YOU CAN TELL WHEN YOU MEET ASHER THAT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF A FAMILY. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS JUST FINE WITH ASHER JUST AS LONG AS HE IS WITH YOU. HE WOULD BE A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY AS HE ADORES THE OUTDOORS. ASHER WILL "PRANCE" ALONG, HEAD HELD HIGH, TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING. ASHER HAS A SMOOTH, FLOWING, GRACEFUL GAIT AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE IT'S AS IF HE IS FLOATING ON AIR!! ASHER IN MOTION IS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. IF YOUR DAY CALLED FOR A TRIP AROUND TOWN TO RUN A FEW ERRANDS ASHER WOULD BE THRILLED TO TAG ALONG, JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND IN ASHER WILL HOP, HE WILL FIND "HIS" SPOT, TURN HIS ADORABLE "BLOCK" HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "OK I'M READY" LOOK. HE WOULDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS GOING, WOULDN'T MATTER TO HIM, IF ASHER IS WITH YOU THIS COMPANION PUP IS HAPPY!!! IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS BOY IS ASHER READY, AS WE SAID HE LOVES THE OUTDOORS. HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, CHASING ANY STICK YOU THREW HIM, AND WE BET DIVING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY SNOW BANK HE COULD FIND!!! THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO ASHER'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH HIM AT ALL--TRUE TO THE LABRADOR RETRIEVER BREED ASHER IS ONE SMART GUY!!! HE IS EXTREMELY ALERT, ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, A PUP WHO PICKS UP IMMEDIATELY WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO LEARN. HE IS A PUP WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING HIS FAMILY AND THIS MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE, THE POTENTIAL FOR ASHER IS HUGE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE BUILD A FIRE READY TO SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING, ASHER HAS THE WISDOM TO APPRECIATE THE SIMPLER THINGS IN LIFE. HE WILL CURL UP AT YOUR FEET, CONTENT JUST TO BE WITH YOU HOWEVER YOU BETTER LEAVE ONE HAND FREE AS ASHER WILL LAY HIS "LOVE ME" HEAD IN YOUR LAP AND NO ONE LOVES A PAT OR A RUB MORE THEN ASHER. ASHER KNOWS IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. HE IS RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, A PUP WHO IS THERE FOR YOU 100%, A CONTENTED, BEAUTIFUL, ADULT WHO LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY AND FOREVER. EVERYDAY SPENT WITH ASHER IS A GIFT. WE DID MENTION BEAUTIFUL AND THIS PUP TRULY IS, HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A GORGEOUS, SPARKLING "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK, THIS PUP'S COAT IS BREATHTAKING. NEXT "THAT FACE", ASHER HAS THE MOST GORGEOUS EYES THEY ARE A DARK HONEY COLOR THEY HAVE A LOOK THAT TRULY SEEMS TO BE SAYING "LOVE ME", IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO!!! WE KNOW THAT THE FAMILY WHO OPENS THEIR HEART AND MAKES OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" A PART OF THEIR LIFE WILL RECEIVE A VERY SPECIAL GIFT. ASHER IS PUP WHO'S FIRST DAY WITH YOU YOU WOULD THINK HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF YOUR LIFE. ASHER IS A PUP WHO LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING AND ONLY ASK TO SPEND HIS DAYS SURROUNDED BY THE WARMTH OF A HOME AND TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL CHERISH EVERY MINUTE SPENT WITH ASHER OUR "TREASURE"!!! WHAT HAPPEN TO ASHER WAS NOT HIS FAULT, HE DID NOTHING WRONG, HE LOVED HIS FAMILY EVERYDAY HE WAS A PART OF THEIR LIF,. IT WAS HIS FAMILY WHO WAS JUST COLD AND UNCARING WHO JUST THREW HIM AWAY!!!
