Foster Update #1 Aspen is revealing himself to be a real gem! He had a few rough days after his neuter surgery, but is recovering fast and is revealing new aspects of his personality daily. He is currently living with 3 other dogs (2F/1M) and he gets along great with all of them. He tries to engage with them but they aren’t fond of his e-collar and play is very limited at this point. He loves people and his tail is always wagging. He loves playing ball and going for walks. He’s medium energy, always ready to join you in your activities but is also good at just chilling out. Aspen starts his walks strong but tapers off and walks reasonably well; training is recommended. He is housebroken and sleeps through the night. He does not counter surf. Aspen is a slow, methodical eater and takes treats gently. He has shown no signs of food/resource guarding or aggression. He is not a barker nor a jumper. He rides well in the car. Aspen has shown an interest in rabbits, squirrels, and lizards; he has not yet been tested with cats. Aspen would enjoy a moderately active family that will include him in their daily activities and provide him with regular exercise. He would probably enjoy a companion/playmate. Introduction - Aspen came to us from a desert shelter whose staff reached out to ask for our help. There are few adopters in their area and they were seeking safe placement for this nice lab. After viewing videos of him interacting with other dogs we were happy to welcome him to our rescue. He has a sunny disposition, with a tail that wags his entire belly, and received high marks from our volunteer for being a good travel buddy.
