We’re honored to share that Lee Asher, founder of The Asher House and Asher House Wellness, was featured in Newsweek for a deeply moving rescue story that captures the heart of everything we stand for.

The article tells the story of Drogo, an XL bully who endured severe neglect before being rescued — and how Lee stepped in with one simple promise: to make sure Drogo would be the happiest boy in the world.

A Rescue Story Rooted in Compassion

According to Newsweek, Drogo had been living in horrific conditions, used solely for breeding, deprived of basic care, food, and water. After authorities intervened, Drogo and several other dogs were brought to safety through the Tacoma Humane Society — where Lee’s long-standing rescue work made it possible for them to find sanctuary at The Asher House.

From the moment Drogo arrived, Lee committed to more than rescue. He committed to healing, stability, and joy.

From Survival to Thriving

Drogo’s transformation is the kind that stays with you. Once confined and neglected, he now sleeps peacefully, plays freely, and experiences the world with curiosity and trust. Lee shared with Newsweek how emotional it was watching Drogo experience life for the first time — running on the beach, cuddling, and simply being a dog.

That transformation didn’t happen overnight. It happened through daily care, consistent routines, and intentional wellness — the same principles that later inspired the creation of Asher House Wellness.

The Wellness Philosophy Behind the Rescue

Lee’s rescue work didn’t stop with saving animals — it led him to ask deeper questions about long-term wellbeing.

Why do so many pets survive… but don’t truly thrive? Why is pet wellness often filled with fillers, shortcuts, and low standards? Why isn’t wellness for pets treated with the same care as wellness for people?

Those questions are what led Lee to found Asher House Wellness — a brand built on the belief that wellness within creates greatness without.

Every supplement, chew, oil, and bundle we create reflects the same values seen in Drogo’s story:

• Compassion over convenience

• Consistency over quick fixes

• Daily rituals over one-time solutions

Wellness That Supports Healing from the Inside Out

The same approach that helped Drogo heal emotionally and physically is what guides our wellness products today. From calming support and digestive health to mobility, vitality, and long-term balance, Asher House Wellness exists to help pets live calmer, healthier, happier lives alongside their people.

Our products are developed from real experience — used daily by Lee and his dogs — and shared authentically with millions of pet parents who want better for the animals they love.

A Story That Represents Our Why

Drogo’s story is not an exception. It’s the foundation.

It’s why Asher House Wellness exists. It’s why we believe in daily wellness rituals. It’s why rescue and wellness are inseparable.

We’re grateful to Newsweek for sharing this story and helping amplify the message that every animal deserves more than survival — they deserve a life filled with comfort, trust, and joy.
