About Ashley

Ashley is a delightful young dog with a strong curiosity for the outdoors. She loves to explore, whether it’s finding lizards, sniffing out fallen seeds, or investigating yard decorations. Sunbathing is a favorite pastime as well, and after her adventurous walks, she settles down for well-earned naps. This affectionate pup enjoys cuddling and has a playful spirit, often showing her energy but also mellowing out nicely. Ashley thrives on human companionship, often following close by your side. Her leash manners need some improvement; a harness works best for this small breed when out and about, as she can become easily distracted by intriguing sights and sounds. Ashley gets along wonderfully with other dogs, often sharing space and napping with her canine friends. Although she hasn't yet interacted with cats, she maintains a friendly disposition overall. Looking for a home that can provide her with lots of love and playtime is essential, especially since she can be a bit mouthy during playtime due to her sharp teeth. Ideal adopters should have energy to match Ashley and offer her a safe, organized environment free of tempting chewables. A dog-friendly couch or armchair would make the perfect cozy spot for her. Notably, her adoption fee is $325. Ready to meet Ashley? Click apply to start the adoption process!
