Resource guards spaces. Overview Meet Aspen, a beautiful ~10 year old, 10 lb golden-coated dachshund who proves that love sees beyond physical limitations. Aspen came to Little Paws as a stray found in Miami, but this sweet boy has nothing but affection to give. Despite being somewhat visually impaired due to cataracts, Aspen navigates the world with his heart wide open and is absolutely craving human connection and love. Environment Aspen is a gentle soul who enjoys short walks and playtime. He’s potty trained with regular potty breaks, doing best and a consistent routine. He’s great on the leash and loves his walks. While he’s fine in a crate for short periods and is good in the car when crated, he does bark when left alone and would need a home without shared walls. This love bug just wants to be near his people! Aspen is not a fan of being crated and will whine and bark if left in one. Pets & People Aspen is incredibly sweet with adults and older children, but he wouldn’t suit living with young children as he can be easily startled. He gets along with other dogs of similar size, but is territorial of his space, therefore he would do best as the only dog in the home. Aspen doesn’t like to be moved when he gets comfortable and is exhibiting signs of resource guarding, He will need an adopter familiar with this and be willing to put in the time to work with him. His nature makes him wonderful with patient family members who understand his needs. Due to his vision, he’s very gentle around food and needs to be guided to his food and water bowls, but he manages beautifully once he knows where everything is. Health Aspen has cataracts that cause visual impairment, and he’s having his vision assessed this week to better understand his needs. He sometimes bumps into things and needs gentle guidance to his food and water bowls, but he manages well. He tries to use potty pads but can not always see them. He takes a joint supplement, omega for his skin, and probiotics. His visual challenges don’t slow down his loving spirit one bit. Location Aspen is available for adoption from Miami, FL.

Adopt Aspen and Receive Aspen's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Aspen's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Aspen's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Aspen, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Aspen's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Aspen was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Aspen’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Aspen’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Aspen’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
