About Ashanti

Ashanti is a lovely German Shepherd mix, about 9 years old and weighs around 55 pounds. She came to the shelter after her elderly guardian faced a fall, leaving Ashanti alone and neglected for days. When rescued, she was found in terrible condition: emaciated, with overgrown nails and severely damaged skin, leaving her understandably frightened in a new environment. Yet underneath that fear is a sweet soul who is beginning to trust again. She's responding warmly to gentle touches and kind words, learning that she is safe and cared for. With time, patience, and the right experienced adopter, Ashanti's true spirit will shine. She's searching for someone familiar with German Shepherds who can support her on her journey back to health and happiness, allowing her to go at her own pace. This girl has endured a lot, and now she deserves to discover the love and care she has missed out on. With the right companion, Ashanti will blossom and reveal the beauty that lies within her. Your new best friend is just one click away.
