My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.



Astro was born on 8/2/2022, one of Asia's puppies. He was adopted in November 2022 at 3 months old. Astro is a good boy and gets along with other dogs, likes to take walks and greets others with a wagging tail. He is good at walking on his leash and does not pull.  He currently weighs about 60 lbs. Some other things about Astro: loves car rides. taking walks. swim, he enjoys stealing shoes and socks but will give them back, he likes toys and treats and takes  treats gently. He may be a bit too interested in cats and may chase them. He also has some prey drive for squirrels and rabbits. His adopters feed their dogs separately so as not to take any chances with resource guarding with other dogs. His owners are able to pet him while he eats.
 
Astro needs to be rehomed with a family that is a better fit. Astro good with adults and older considerate children. He gets very over simulated by a lot of playing, loud noises and children running around.
Astro enjoys going for car rides and he's a wonderful snuggler!!
 
He also attaches himself to his human and if something causes him to become anxious over that person being spoken to loudly or if he is concerned they might be in harm he will also react. His owners keep him separated from these conditions as much as possible but feel it is not fair to Astro to need to be away so much.
 
Overall, Astro is a great dog and just needs the right family dynamics so he can enjoy life with his humans.

More about this rescue

We are a small group of rescuers who have done rescue with other groups for many years.. some of us have started other rescues. we found that some rescues do not use good adoption practices and felt a new rescue can help more dogs.
