Description:
Meet Asher. Poor Asher was surrendered by his owner to a local area vet's office because his hair was falling out in patches. The owner wanted the vet to euthanize this sweet boy so that he could just go get another dog. It turns out that Asher has a thyroid condition that is completely manageable for less than 15 cents a day. How can someone be so heartless. Asher is a wonderful 3 year old neutered lab who is simply looking for a new family to call his own. He is very sweet and lovable and deserves the chance at a normal life. Asher is a very sweet boy. He adores people and other dogs and is an all around good dog. He loves kids and other dogs, but he is not fond of cats. He would be a wonderful addition to your family. ".... last night he slept in our room on the floor with Greta and he was fine all night long. He tried jumping on our bed but I pushed him down and he was fine (it was like trying to push down a brick wall...but he finally got down). He hasn't had any accidents in the house at all. He made himself at home on the couch today while I was getting ready for work. He will bark or whine when he has to go outside - but they come in and out all day long right now that he hasn't really had to do that. He loves treats and knows sit and shake. He needs a reminder that fingers are not for eating but when reminded he does take a treat very nice. He loves belly rubs... He and the 3 year old were laying on the floor this morning together and she had him covered with her blanket and had him holding a stuffed bunny - it was adorable!

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
