Ashton

2/13/12: Ashton was adopted!


Ashton is in foster :)


She's a little portly but a total sweetie!

Hello!  My name is Ashton and I'm a 9-year-YOUNG, female cocker spaniel mix.  I was brought to MaxFund by my former family, along with my 'adopted' brother, Cody, when our family couldn't care for us anymore.  While I enjoyed living with Cody, we are both very open to being adopted into separate homes.  Our previous owners really had nothing bad to say about us so I'm especially hopeful that we can both find the perfect Forever Family.   You might ask why I'll make the perfect four-legged family member?  Well...here goes...

Housebroken? Check.   

Good with kids? Check.

Good with other dogs? Check.

Good with cats? Check.

Basic obedience? Check.

Good on a leash? Check.

Easygoing? Check.

As I've been a bit neglected during my life, I've packed on a little extra weight (I'm currently, ahem, 44lbs).  But, lucky for you, several studies (by the National Institutes of Health, nonetheless!) show that dog owners who regularly walk their dogs are more physically active, more mobile inside their homes, less likely to be obese, and experience less stress, anxiety and loneliness!  Research also shows that walking your dog helps contribute to positive, enjoyable social interactions!  Woah baby!  Looks like we'll both benefit by regular exercise! 

I'm patiently waiting for a loving, faithful, attentive family in which I can relax and trust that they will always keep me safe, healthy and protected.  Not too shabby of a goal, eh?  I look forward to meeting YOU soon!
