Asher

About Asher:

Asher is a cute 6-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to us from another shelter. He is a special little guy who takes time to warm up to new people; he is blind in one eye and startles easily, so care must be taken to make sure he is aware of your actions. Asher likes people and will climb into a warm hoodie or pouch to keep cozy. He prefers to be carried around rather than walk on his own, but is only comfortable with it once he comes to trust you. He enjoys the companionship (and warmth) of other dogs, couldn’t care less about cats, and is really quite the little couch potato. Due to his timid nature, Asher needs to go to an adult only home with people who understand that he is not the kind of dog that can be kissed on and poked at without first establishing a relationship. However, his heart is easily won over with tasty treats like hot dogs, cheese, and ham — this boy is a foodie and will eat just about anything that is set in front of him! Asher will do best in a calm, quiet home with a family willing to build a relationship with him before coddling him too much. He will make a great companion for someone looking for a little buddy to snuggle up with on the couch. Asher is more comfortable with women and may take a little extra time to warm up to male family members.
