Asenath (Redbone Hound Mix)

Asenath is about 6 years old. She's a Redbone Hound mix. We adopted Asenath from a shelter in our city. She joined our family on May 21st. Ase is a couch potato. She thinks she's a lapdog, even though she's 65 lbs, and can't get enough love.

She loves rawhides and other chewy toys. And when her brother tries to pick on her, she shows him who's boss! Asenath was a stray before we met her. She has scars on her face and body and has obviously had many, many litters for her age. Our vet couldn't tell us whether she was bred and fought, or if she just had a very hard life.

In spite of her hardships, she's still so gentle and giving. Because of her scars, several families had met her and chosen not to adopt her. The shelter that had taken her in practices euthanasia. We were so lucky to find her when we did. She's a beautiful dog and Mommy's little girl.
