About Asher

Asher is a five-year-old Standard Poodle mix currently at Wayside Waifs in Kansas City, MO. His past at a puppy mill has made him a little wary of humans, so he’ll need a patient owner who is ready to help him adjust to family life. Asher is quite shy and could use some time to learn about love and trust. He enjoys the company of other dogs, so it's essential he goes to a home with a friendly canine buddy to guide him. Asher would benefit from a fenced-in yard since walking on a leash is still a challenge for him. If there are kids in the house aged nine or younger, it’s important to introduce them properly, as loud noises and new faces can startle him. Once he warms up, Asher promises to be a sweet and affectionate companion, ready to share his playful spirit and love. If you're prepared to take on the rewarding journey of helping Asher become the confident dog he deserves to be, he would be thrilled to meet you soon! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
