Meet Ashton

Meet Ashton! At about 10 yo, Ashton came to the shelter as a stray looking a little rough around the edges. His coat has seen better days, likely due to flea allergies, and he could use a good bath, some TLC, and a little time to get back to looking his best. What Ashton lacks in looks right now, he more than makes up for in personality. He’s an incredibly sweet, calm, and gentle older guy who can be a little shy at first but enjoys affection from his human friends. He’s likely wondering - “where am I?”He’s done well meeting other dogs. Even when greeted by an overly enthusiastic female who got right in his face, Ashton remained calm and unbothered. He’s since been successfully paired with another gentle, timid female, and the two have been peacefully sharing their space. Ashton isn’t looking for a lot of excitement. At his age, he’d probably be perfectly happy with a comfortable place to nap, a little pampering, and someone who appreciates his easygoing nature. This sweet senior guy needs someone willing to look past his scruffy exterior and give him a chance. Ashton is currently housed in a building that is inaccessible to the public - please ask to meet him!
