I've been trying to think of all of the adjectives that come to mind when talking about this pretty girl to others. I can say she is strong. A strong desire to love and be loved, a strong will to please her humans, and clearly a strong will to survive since her 'owners' never came forward to claim her.
I could say crazy. She's crazy about kiddos, crazy about playing in the yard with her new friend Bruno, and crazy about getting belly rubs that she'll give you no warning that's she's going to flop on your feel and roll over.
I could say she's large. She definitely wants to live her life in the largest way possible, she has a great, big, large smile that you can't help but smile back at, a large heart that she'll love you with forever, and you'll fall in love with just as quickly.
Aside from her fascination with bunnies and squirrels, I genuinely cannot say Aspen has any less than desirable traits. I also cannot imagine why anyone would want to give her up, much less just leave her somewhere. This girl had her intake exam today, which means she had blood drawn for heartworm testing, and 3 vaccinations. Because she's a good sized pup, the assistant was a little hesitant when they loosened up their grip and Aspen jumped forward, turned around and was ready to give kisses and forgive the ouchie pokes they'd given her. This girl made sure to tell all of the vets, techs, admin, and others thank you, bye and have a great day on her way out.
You really can't find a better dog. Plus those ears...
Aspen has one more set of boosters to get, which will be about a month from now, but she can be fostered in the meantime! If you'd like to learn more about Aspen, please message us here, or visit her page on petfinder! If I could take her, she'd be in my home already.
