Meet Ashlynn
Ashlynn is a gorgeous girl. She is eight years young and deserves a second chance after being at our shelter for over two years. Thrown away, Ashlynn was rescued from a high kill shelter where she was on the kill list due to her having heartworms. Heartworm positive dogs are some of the first to be euthanized. Heartworms are completely preventable and expensive to treat. But we have successfully treated Ashlynn and she is fully healthy.
Ashlynn is thought to be a blue heeler/terrier mix. She is a medium size girl at just 42 lbs. She is a high energy dog and will do best with an active family. She is alert and super intelligent. She is upbeat and friendly. She will be a loyal and dedicated fur baby companion. Ashlyn is selective with dogs and will chase a cat, so she will be adopted to a home with no other pets. She knows some commands, like sit. Her whole face lights up when someone comes out to throw a tennis ball with her. Ashlynn enjoys being with people, she is almost the female version of our Oscar, long overlooked but now thriving in a quiet home. She has responded to the attention she is receiving after so many years of neglect. She especially seems to enjoy one to one attention with her person away from the shelter where she feels safe. She is a sweet girl and every day she blossoms a little more. Ashlynn enjoys riding in a car and quietly curls up for the ride. We truly think that Ashlynn has never known a happy life or was cared for. The kindness and safety she receives at our shelter is all new to her and she is soaking it all up! We can tell that she wants to make a connection with a kind person.
Ashlynn is a gem and with the right person/family she is going to be amazing. She could use a soft landing in her life. Will you be the one to give it to her?
