Aspen - OH
This handsome gentleman is named Aspen!! He is a Carolina Dog mix and is approximately 3-4 years old and 65 pounds. He is currently living with a foster in SW Ohio, but a virtual meet and greet is available where you can see him interact with his surroundings, and can be shipped anywhere for his furever family!
Aspen is a gentle giant who is learning to love and be loved. He is learning to live as part of a family. He is fully housebroken and is happy to spend the evening in his dog bed in the living room with the rest of the family. He also loves to get his leash on and go for a car ride. We have kept his exercise to a minimum because he is receiving heartworm treatment. Because of the severity of his heartworm infection, he does have some heart disease present. He would do well in an apartment or home with a small yard because he is mainly lower energy.
Aspen loves the other dogs in the home, and his best friend is a puppy who has decided that Aspen is his surrogate father. Based on his kindness to the puppies who were in his foster home, I'm sure he would be fine with cats. Aspen enjoys standing at the door and looking out at the neighborhood, but he doesn’t bark unnecessarily. He quickly makes friends with guests and stands next to them for some loving instead of jumping on folks or barking. The vet believes Aspen was born with a slight leg deformity – a slight curvature in his left leg below his elbow. They believe it to be a neurological issue that doesn’t cause him any pain now.
Aspen has not been around chlldren, but he loves everyone so it is just recommended that he not be around small children because he's a bit clumsy when he's excited especially with the leg deformity.
Aspen is not crate trained. Crates make him a bit nervous and he is incredibly well behaved while we are away from the house. Aspen's favorite place to sleep is on the bed with me, but he's also happy to sleep in his dog bed nearby. He loves all dog treats and isn't picky at all!
Instructions will be provided to continue his heartworm treatment until he is clear. He needs a place where he can rest easily knowing that he will always have a meal and a warm place to lay his head. He will get along well with your dogs (he's more submissive than dominate).
