Ash is a doll! Such a sweet & happy pup. Even with some hard beginnings, this little beauty has really come out of his shell. He and his brother were dumped at a shelter with their mother. His mother went kennel crazy and attacked the pups, which made them a bit scared and nervous, which was the pup we saw with Ash first arrived. Not anymore! Ash bounces around the house like any other puppy now! We know Ash's mother was a black German Shepherd, and we are guessing his dad was some sort of terrier or another small/medium breed. Weighing in at about 20 lbs, so far he looks like a small German Shepherd. He has been well socialized with all of the neighbor kids as well as many adults. He is still a bit hesitant with some strangers, but has really come around. He will need owners that will continue to socialize him and will help him understand nothing will ever hurt him again. He has a great puppy energy but is not overly hyperactive. He is a really well balanced pup. Ash lives with 2 teenagers, 3 dogs of varying sizes and 2 cats and gets along great with everyone. He is 98% house trained, and just needs a watchful eye as he is still a puppy and hasn't figured out how to signal us that he needs to go out. But as long as someone is taking him out every 3-4 hours he will be accident free! He is also crate trained and sleeps in his crate quietly through the night. He walks nicely on a leash and has learned Sit, Lay Down, Shake & High-5 in a very short amount of time. He is learning how to fetch toys and bring them back with the help of his foster brother. He does need a lot of chew toys, as he is teething, otherwise kiss your slippers goodbye. He has a stellar personality and is a real love bug. He would make a great addition to your family so click that little adoption application button below to start the process of bring Ash home today!
