About Aspen

Aspen is looking for her forever home. This sweet and lively Blue Heeler mix will turn 2 in December and weighs around 25–28 pounds. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and is both crate-trained and housebroken. Aspen thrives in homes with a fenced yard and another playful dog. She loves interacting with dogs of all sizes, particularly enjoying playtime with poodles. Her favorite activities include playing with toys and trying to catch water from the hose. In her current home, she has been affectionate with children of all ages. Though she shares her space with a cat, she tends to chase it for play, so a dog-savvy feline friend would suit her best. At night, Aspen loves to cuddle close, often wanting to be right beside you—or even on top of you, throughout the night! She's smart, uses a doggie door, and has a non-picky appetite, happily eating twice a day in her crate. This energetic girl would flourish in an active home where she can enjoy play and snuggles with her family and canine companions. She's truly an amazing dog who's ready to bring happiness to her new family. Get started on the adoption process today!
