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 for longer periods 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 has shown some guarding of his space but after recent eye surgery his disposition has improved. 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.
