Meet Aspen

Location: Coatesville, PA   Introducing Aspen, the adorable cattle dog mix with a heart of gold! Born on March 5th, this lovable pup is a true people-person who thrives on cuddles and companionship. After a burst of playful energy, Aspen is quick to snuggle up in a welcoming lap, making him the perfect cuddle buddy for lazy afternoons.   With a penchant for playtime, Aspen's eyes light up at the sight of toys, especially when it involves the delightful task of dismantling stuffie toys. But his playful nature extends beyond toys; Aspen is a curious explorer who delights in sniffing out new adventures in the yard and surprising his brother with playful sneak attacks from under bushes.   Despite his playful antics, Aspen strikes a perfect balance as a medium-energy pup, equally content frolicking in the yard or lounging with his beloved humans. His adaptable nature and gentle demeanor make him a delightful addition to any household.   Aspen has been excelling in crate training, snoozing peacefully through the night alongside his brother. His progress in potty training is commendable for his age, with the ability to hold it for up to 6 hours at a time while his human is away. Aspen will need to continue his training to ensure he grows into a well behaved adult dog.   While Aspen may initially be shy around new faces, his heart quickly melts at the promise of belly rubs, paving the way for warm and lasting connections with new friends.   Don't miss your chance to bring Aspen's infectious joy and love into your life. With his irresistible charm and playful spirit, he's sure to steal your heart from the moment you meet him!   Aspen will have all age-appropriate vaccines and will be microchipped prior to adoption. He will be adopted out with a neuter contract due to his age. Prospective homes need to be able to meet Aspen prior to adoption. Aspen is being fostered in Coatesville, PA.   For questions about Aspen please email his foster home at [email protected]. Complete an Application: https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application
