About Asha

Meet Asha! Asha is a tiny lady with a big appreciation for the finer things in life: cozy beds, tasty treats, and a calm atmosphere. This sweet little Terrier is a professional couch potato who believes in a retirement filled with snuggling and minimal responsibility. She's friendly with people, gets along with both dogs and cats, and has a particularly humorous tendency to sneak into her foster sister Taffy's bed. When Taffy comes looking for her spot, Asha makes a quick exit, clearly aware of her charm. Asha is blind and has some hearing loss, but she lives contentedly at her own leisurely pace. She has cataracts and dry eyes that require daily medication, although she'd like to note that the eye drops are not her favorite activity. Additionally, she has a small skin condition on her lower back that has been treated and is healing nicely. As she isn’t leash-trained, a fenced yard is essential for her safety. Asha thrives on a consistent routine with potty breaks every few hours and appreciates help navigating stairs. She’s comfortable at home without her humans nearby and can also ride in the car, particularly with a secure carrier or doggie car seat for her comfort. Her ideal home is quiet and calm, with a family who cherishes a slower pace and loves snuggling. Asha would make a wonderful companion for anyone seeking a sweet little shadow to brighten their days. Asha may not need much excitement, but she has a wealth of love to share. All she's missing is a cozy spot to call home that suits her unique charm. Ready to make Asha a part of your life?
