This little guy with the fabulous markings is all Chihuahua all of the time. Meet Ash! With his beautiful Merle coat we guarantee you’re going to look. He’s a stunning little guy with the sass and spunk you’d expect in a chihuahua pup. He thinks he’s larger than life but the moment you pick him up he melts right into your arms becoming the sweetest of cuddle bugs. He’s definitely got that chihuahua voice down and will alert you to all potential dangers including all those big dogs who are soooo scary. We suppose when you’re just a little guy big things are naturally going to be a bit overwhelming. But puppies learn fast and Ash is at the perfect age to experience the world and learn to navigate the unknown.
Ash had a rough start to life. He and 3 other similarly colored chihuahuas were thrown over a local Kern County elementary school yard fence. We suspect his previous family was breeding these Merle chihuahuas and when they couldn’t sell them they disposed of them. Everyone was saved and brought to rescue. Ash and Autumn, who we believe is his mother, went to the same foster home.
Ash is blossoming in foster care and learning all the things he needs to be an amazing adult dog. He’s definitely a puppy and likes to chew, nibble and get into things. He’s working on his house training manners and leash skills. He’s already mastered the doggie door and with time and patience will get those house training skills down. He loves toys and loves playing with both the humans and small dogs in his foster home. He thinks his legs are the best toys ever and uses them to swat the other dogs during play sessions. He’s goofy and fun with just the right amount of spice mixed in. When he’s not entertaining everyone with his puppy antics you’ll find him fast asleep with the closest human or dog he can snuggle. Ash is ready to find the perfect family who will continue his training and socialization and give him the home he deserves. Apply today!
Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley's Mutts:
Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
All pets will be spayed or neutered
All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
