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. I thrive in quiet environments with patient people who understand sensitive dogs.

IMPORTANT NEEDS:

Single Dog Home – I prefer to have all the love to myself.
No Cats – They’re a bit too interesting for me.
No Kids – A calm, adult-only home suits me best.
No Apartments or Condos – I need space and quiet.
Experienced Owner Required – Someone familiar with reactive or shy dogs.
Pre-Appointment Call Required – So we can ensure we’re a great fit.
Special Behavioral Needs – I’ve had a bite history and need thoughtful handling in new or stressful situations.

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

DIAMOND DOG PROGRAM:
Ashland is part of FOHA’s Diamond Dog Program, which means he receives extra support from staff and volunteers to help him succeed. Learn more:

ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:
Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy (training & behavior support), slip lead leash, 1 bag of starter food, 1-month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical care as needed.

Ashland is seeking someone who will meet him where he is and give him the life he’s always deserved — calm, safe, and full of love. If you’re a quiet household looking for a devoted companion, Ashland may just be your perfect match.
