Meet Asuka! This sweet New Jersey girl found herself looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Her owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her after realizing that Asuka deserves more time, attention, and space than he could give her right now. Asuka is a gentle, friendly pup with a soft, shy side that makes her even more endearing. Once she feels comfortable, her loving personality truly shines through! She’s eager to bond with someone who will give her the time and affection she’s been missing. If you’re looking for a tenderhearted companion who just wants to belong, Asuka is ready to fill your home with warmth, loyalty, and love. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in adopting or fostering? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Asuka is a gentle, friendly pup with a soft, shy side that makes her even more endearing. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
