My name is Astro!

Astro was a dedicated companion to our widowed mother till she died before Christmas this year. None of her children are able to adopt Astro and we are urgently trying to find him a forever home. Astro is a mellow old dude and a dedicated snuggler (he joined my mother on the couch each night and provided great company). He has been an indoor dog living in a condo with my mother for the past five years, so he is not accustomed to much more than some short walks around the neighborhood, making him suitable for another senior human companion. He was fiercely loyal and protective as a younger dog and was not good around other dogs, so it is probably best he would be the only pet in his adoptive home. He does fine around older children (her house was often filled with grandkids). Astro does have some food allergies (recent adjustments in his diet have helped alleviate the issues) and he has a heart murmur, but he is otherwise a healthy senior dog.
