Description:

Some dogs wear their hearts on their sleeves but sweet Asher keeps his tucked away until he knows he's safe. This handsome boy is still settling into his new foster home and after experiencing so many changes, he's understandably shy. Every single day he shows us just how much potential he has. Beneath that timid exterior is an incredibly sweet soul who just needs someone willing to give him the time and patience he deserves.

Asher is looking for a calm, loving family that understands trust isn't built overnight. He will need slow introductions to new people, especially when visitors are coming into his home. Giving him the space to approach on his own terms helps him feel safe and allows his confidence to grow. Once he realizes you're a friend, his gentle personality begins to shine. Watching him become more comfortable has been one of the most rewarding parts of his foster journey. So far, Asher has done well with other dogs and respectful children.

Asher‘s love and trust is well worth every moment of patience. If you're looking for a loyal companion and are ready to help a shy pup discover just how wonderful life can be, Asher is waiting to meet you! Could you be the forever family he's been dreaming of?

If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:
Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.
If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days.
Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.
If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.
If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. 7/8/26 11:17 PM
