Asher is a well loved boy whose owner moved into assisted living so he’s looking for a new home to live out his golden years. Asher recently had a dental/extraction and was diagnosed with a luxating patella but can still get around comfortably. He comes with some lumps and bumps but is on Carprofen to ease his arthritis and inflammation. He prefers a home where someone is home often as he does not like to be left alone. This friendly and happy pup loves to meet new people and bonds quickly to his people. He’s adjusted well into his foster home and is ready for his forever home!
