Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ASTRO is a neutered male, lab mix, approx 70lbs and current on vaccines, crate trained, house trained, hw negative, walks well on a leash, is playful and loves to cuddle. We recently learned that ASTRO was born and raised in Florida, but was found (by his foster mom) in a county shelter in June of 2018. Upon further investigation of his microchip it was discovered ASTRO 's birth date as spring 2008. Although "considered" a senior this wonderful boy shows NO SIGNS of his age, says his foster mom ! ASTRO is just a giant puppy, he plays hard and sleeps hard. He would rather curl up next to his human(s) and be the TV junkie that he is rather than play in the house. He is a smart and trainable dog; and we know he has a sensitive spirit as he hates to disappoint. ASTRO loves car rides and is very well behaved. He may occasionally nudge your arm or hand when he wishes to be petted. His favorite toys are a rope pull toy and a ball. He loves to play keep away with his rope and to have it thrown, we make him sit before throwing anything, He will easily retrieve anything you throw and return the toy to you. In warm weather, play must be limited as he does overheat easily. A fenced yard is important because ASTRO likes to run and play outside. He does run at the fence toward other dogs – typically tail will be wagging, barking/whining but hair will be raised (we call it his dogasaurous look). Once familiar with dogs in neighboring yards he will run the fence with them to play or simply watch. He sleeps soundly most nights and snores like a lumberjack. If crating is preferred over gating in a room he prefers to be crated at night with some type of sound – radio, tv or fan. Astro currently lives with a cat and another dog; however we believe he would do best as an only dog or with a senior low key female dog. It is believed that he will not hurt a cat, but will occasionally give chase if one runs in front of him. If crated he will whine and bark if he sees a cat. Typically when roaming free he will either sniff them or completely ignore.
