Are you looking to add a big cuddle bug to your home? Well meet our girl Ash! Ash believes she is a small lap dog and would love to find a home where she can curl up right next to or on someone she loves. She hasn't quite figured out what toys are yet but we are sure she would love to learn.

~Ash is looking for an active home that can take her on lots of adventures.
~Ash would do best with children that have experience with large dogs
~Ash will need to be signed up for training prior to going home to her furever family
