My story

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

Awwww Aspen, how do you not fall for those baby blues she has! Aspen came to us as a stray after a member of the public found her.

Aspen was very sweet but a bit shy right from the start, she seems to be missing the crazy husky gene. This gal is a bit more on the mellow side but not knowing her background means its hard to tell what she is used to.

Aspen has been a bit off with her eating here and we are working to put some weight on her. She seems to be more happy when she gets to be social with people and does present a bit shy until she gets to know you but that's getting better each day as she settles here.

She seems fine with other dogs so far and is going on group walks well. Aspen may have been a backyard dog in a previous life, she seemed to be a bit sore, and lacking muscle tone when she first arrived. As we dont know our animals background its hard to tell, but we do know she is beautiful and ready to move into her forever home!

Other Dogs: Well matched, males preferred
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Yes but older 15+
Apartment: Maybe
Walks: Loves them!
New People: Yes with caution, she may need to warm up!

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
