Hi, I’m
ASPHALT!
I have a big personality wrapped up in a VERY small body! I’ve got thoughts and opinions and I would very much like to share them with you. I’m happiest when I am snuggle up with my person. Could it be you?
More about ASPHALT
Asphalt is an adventurous little guy! Don’t be the one to try to tell him that little dogs don’t do “big dog” things. He is always eager to join the guys on the walks, is a blast to train, and believes in balancing his work with equal enthusiasm for play.
At only 6 lbs, Asphalt rewrites expectations of small dogs solely being purse dogs. He joins in on the walks and is a good partner to strut with. The youth are perfecting his leash manners and he continues to learn more each day. He is, however, still very much ok with being catered to when the time is right. (He even trained some of the youth to wear the sling during chore time so he could stick right by them.)
If you’re looking for a pint sized dog to show up big dogs in the trick department, Asphalt could be a great fit for you. He is incredibly treat motivated and learns quickly. He’s been working on adding to his trick list while at POOCH and would love to show them off to you!

Special Considerations
Asphalt is very small so he would not necessarily do well in a home with rambunctious children who couldn’t respect his space or with a large, pushy dog. He can hold his own against a medium (25#) sized dog, but it requires the other dog to be respectful of the boundaries that Asphalt sets.
