Ashley is turning 15 this month. He joined our family in 2007 aged about 18 months, after being rescued from Mildura Pound by Victorian Dog Rescue.

He’s only a little guy, but has a big personality – cute and cuddly, but feisty and clever as well.

Despite his age, he still loves his daily walk around the park. Ashley is a bit deaf these days, but his doggie sister, Nellie, lets him know if there’s a possum to bark at or a visitor at the door.

He’s a real snuggler, and loves nothing better than a cuddle in Mum’s bed every night.
