Aspen is just the best older gentleman. He has energy in short spurts and absolutely LOVES the dog park and is amazing with all dogs of shapes and sizes. He seems intimidating at first when he runs up and barks but he just wants to play! He can be a couch potato or your adventure buddy. He is good with cats (he is terrified of our kitten) and is great with my five year old daughter. He loves attention and is very friendly with other people. When in a foster, he did spend a good deal of time on his own when they were home and had a preference for sleeping in car trunk that was parked in the garage or in a crate. But, he does know how to open doors and crates! He doesn't have a lot of teeth so he will do well with dry dog food with a little bit of beef broth to soften it up. He is definitely house trained and will always let you know whenever he wants to go outside. He is talkative and let's you know when he wants something! But not in an obnoxious barking way. He needs routine and a lot of time to run and be free. His foster said he had been the absolute best to have around and the only reason she couldn't keep him is because she will be travelling for work more here in the next year. Aspen deserves all the love and attention!
