Meet Ashland

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Ashland — a gentle southern soul with endearing ears and a deep loyalty to those I trust. I’m all about peaceful walks, relaxing car rides, and cuddling up with my favorite humans. I walk beautifully on a harness and would love to be your nature-walking buddy.

I’m shy at first, but once I feel safe, I become an affectionate companion who loves belly rubs and silly zoomies in the yard. Because I’m sensitive to new environments and fast introductions, I’m looking for a calm, adult-only home with an experienced adopter who understands dogs like me. I’ll thrive in a quiet, single-family home where I can be the only pet.

I’m so excited to meet my potential new family! To make sure we have the best first impression, I’d feel most comfortable meeting new people with one of my friends(a FOHA staff or volunteer) by my side. The best way to set up a successful meet-and-greet is by submitting an application first. Thanks for considering me!

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I prefer to be the only pup in the home. Other dogs stress me out — I shine best solo!

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
Not a good match — please, no cats.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I need a home without children.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Sit and Down — no treats required, just love!

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I do well in calm environments and adapt to routines. FOHA can provide more specifics.

THINGS I LIKE:
Long, quiet walks • Snuggling on the couch • Treats • Belly rubs • Riding in the car

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Crowds • Sudden noise • Fast introductions • City life • Other dogs on leash
