Aspen - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Traverse City, Michigan

*Application Required before Meet & Greets*

Aspen is a sweet senior lady who just loves to show off her trinkets (aka all of her toys)! She gets so excited to see people that she has to grab whatever stuffy, ball, or bone is closest and bring it over, all while wagging her tail like a puppy. Her favorite toys are squeaky stuffies, and she’s perfectly happy entertaining herself with her collection. She loves her toys so much that she may be a little particular about sharing them, so her new family should be mindful of that.

You’d never know from her happy attitude that Aspen arrived at the shelter in quite a bit of pain after being found with quills all over her body. Thankfully, she has been healing wonderfully and soaking up plenty of love along the way! Aspen may be 10 years old, but she still has plenty of pep when there are toys around. When she’s not showing off her treasures, she’s happy to sniff around, enjoy a treat, or settle in for some quality couch-potato time. She even makes the cutest little piggy snorts!

Aspen has experience with other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion with the right match. She would do best with respectful kids 10 and up, and she is not a fan of cats. After everything she’s been through, Aspen is ready for a cozy retirement filled with love, squeaky toys, comfy couches, and—hopefully—zero porcupines!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
