Story
Name: Asa Age: Puppy / DOB: 5/25/24 Gender: male Breed: Shepherd/Labrador/Terrier mix Weight: 60 lbs Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: Testing Available upon request Child friendly: yes House trained: yes Crate trained: yes Energy level: Moderate Temperament: sweet, snuggly, docile, easygoing Requirement: Not apartment appropriate, but could be in a condo or duplex Adoption Fee: $450+tax To adopt, go to:   www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html About Me:  Heeeeello Internet! My name is Asa and I love to snuggle with my loved ones which includes both the furry or human types. I know I am a big boy but I love a cozy lap to snuggle on. I am learning new things in a nice cozy foster home. This is the first home I’ve ever lived in, if you can believe it. I was part of an “oopsie” litter; my siblings and I went right to the shelter when we were big enough. Due to this, I am working on building my confidence because I didn’t get to experience many of the things most pups do. I promise I’m a nice boy but new people and situations make me feel tender inside. I’m looking for a forever home that can give me grace, be patient with me and help me continue to gain confidence. Oh and did I mention how handsome I am?!  Not to toot my own horn but my coat coloring is truly one of a kind.  If you’d like to meet me in person, please fill out an application soon!   From the foster family: Asa has been an absolute joy to have in our home. I can always count on him to tire out our resident dogs (he LOVES to play with his canine companions) and warm my lap when he’s done.  Asa did take some time to come around and be comfortable here, and I’m sure he will when he goes to his forever home as well, but he’s worth the patience.  He is such a sweet pup… he has the kindest eyes and will melt your heart when he looks at you with admiration.  His future forever family will be so lucky!   March 17, 2025, 11:55 am
