My story

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

Astra is an absolutely darling shepherd mix puppy with the most incredible ears you’ve ever seen — seriously, they deserve their own fan club. She’s sweet, spirited, and wonderfully goofy in all the ways that make puppies so much fun.

Like any baby dog, Astra still gets into a bit of mischief here and there — stealing shoes, nibbling things she shouldn’t, and keeping everyone entertained. But she is wicked smart. She has already learned “drop it,” “leave it,” and “sit” in record time, and she’s eager to keep learning.

Astra is excellent with all dogs, big or small, though she really shines when playing with larger pups who can match her energy. She’s doing well with potty training but isn’t fully there yet — she’s close! She sleeps through the night snuggled up in bed with her foster family, which is helping her make great progress.

On her foster’s 6-acre property, Astra has proven to be a natural adventurer. She hikes off-leash beautifully, stays close, and happily hangs out in the yard while outdoor projects are happening. She has indoor access when she wants it and has settled beautifully into a flexible routine.

Astra is also:
* Good with chickens, so she may do well with cats
* Working on leash skills — though she follows beautifully off-leash in her current environment
* Vocal at times, complete with that bossy husky-style voice
* Crate-savvy, especially when food is involved
* Wonderful with people of all ages

Astra is playful, affectionate, smart, and ready to make someone very, very happy. If you’re looking for a bright, adventurous puppy with a huge personality and even bigger ears, Astra is your girl! 🐾✨
