My story

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

This is a wonderful dog. Aspen is loving, playful, friendly, sweet, eager to learn, joyful, cuddly, and beautiful. She is three years old and still full of puppy energy, as well as spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. She needs and deserves a lot of love and stability in her life.

I have to rehome her because she has made me stumble and fall several times on our walks, by pulling too hard on the leash. So it's a matter of my safety. She just needs some training to help her manage her high energy and learn leash manners, as well as a strong person to give her nice, long walks in the meantime.

The reason for the "special needs" qualification is that she has a history of seizures and is on medication to control that. She hasn't had a seizure for six months, however, and may never have another. They seem to be stress related, so that's all the more reason why she needs a stable, loving, peaceful home.

If you can give Aspen a happy forever home, she'll reward you in a million ways!
