Have you ever wanted your own personal cloud to snuggle? Well, Ash is just the man for that. He's a big, fluffy cuddle bug! His favorite thing to do is relax outside with his people, especially when there's a nice breeze. Ash came here to the SPCA with his pal, Saphira. He seems to do very well with other dogs, but we do recommend he be fed his meals separately, as he can have food insecurities around other dogs. Ash seems to have some arthritis in his hind leg, potentially due to a previous injury. He gets around well and takes a daily joint supplement to help keep things moving smoothly. On more strenuous days, he may need a dose of an anti-inflammatory to keep him comfortable, so a good relationship with his veterinarian is very important. This does not slow him down! He is always down for an adventure! He does great on car rides and at the vet, and overall is just a good guy.
