Aspen is a spayed female mixed breed dog, large in size, located in Traverse City, MI. Although she’s an adult, she has a youthful spirit and enjoys playing with toys. Aspen has had a rough time in her past, but she’s now ready for love and comfort in her golden years.

About Aspen

Aspen is a sweet senior lady who loves to show off her toys. She gets so excited to see people that she rushes over with her favorite squeaky stuffy, ball, or bone, tail wagging like a puppy. Her toys mean the world to her, so her new family should be mindful about sharing them. You’d never guess that Aspen, at 10 years old, arrived at the shelter with quills embedded in her body, but she’s healing well and soaking up love. She has plenty of pep when there are toys around and enjoys sniffing, treats, and quality couch time, complete with adorable little piggy snorts. Aspen has experience with other dogs and may like a canine companion, but she would do best with respectful kids aged 10 and up. She’s not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home would suit her best. After a tough past, Aspen is ready for a cozy retirement filled with love, squeaky toys, and comfy couches. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
