MEET ASTRO!
This sweet boy came from the armpit of Missouri, our favorite place to help dogs from.
Astro has gained a few pounds of weight over the last few weeks and energy has increased along with it. He is looking healthier and happier each day.
He went in to get neutered and X-rays on his back hip/leg. The vet found a very broken Ischium bone on the back right side. We are about 95% positive Astro was hit by a car shortly before animal control picked him up. It requires a very hard impact to break this bone. He is a few weeks into the healing process and already showing improvement. His tail is regaining function, he is now placing weight on that foot, standing tall on it, running, jumping, and wrestling around with his best friend, Meeko. The vet assured me it will heal like any broken bone does, and will not impact his abilities.
Astro has learned “go to your crate” or “bedtime”, “sit”, and “wait” - all within 3 weeks! He has only had 2 accidents In the house (one of the right after we got him and another one which was my kids fault for letting him out of his crate in the morning but not outside).
Astro gets overly excited at meal time, but allows me to put the food down and “waits” for us to tell him it’s ok to eat.
He has taken multiple walks on a leash, walking side by side - not pulling.
He has been friendly to all men, women, and children that have come into my household.
He has a deep bark when warming me of strangers nearby - I.e. the delivery man.
He enjoys being in the yard to play or relax in the fresh air.
He is a freak for toys! This boy loves them all! Ropes, hard plastic, bones, squeakers - you name it, he is ready to play!
Loves to cuddle in bed or on the couch in your lap.
Most importantly - he has not shown any unbecoming behaviors since bringing him into my home and has made Meeko his most loved buddy, showing me he can play with other dogs (other male dogs) without issues.
Astro is now ready for applications! He was recently swabbed for DNA background and we are patiently awaiting the results to see what his dominate breeds are. Right now thinking a black lab/pit mix. He is a medium size, at 53lbs - and expected to gain another 15lbs. He is 3.5 years old.
