Meet Astro, a 6-month-old Shepherd mix puppy whose journey from fear to joy will melt your heart. Astro spent the first months of his life hidden away in a barn with little to no human contact, leaving him terrified of the world beyond those walls. When animal control stepped in, Astro was so scared he wouldn’t let anyone near him — a fear that sadly landed him on the euthanasia list.
But Astro’s story didn’t end there. Thanks to a compassionate volunteer and the dedication of our amazing dog trainer, Astro was transferred to MAARC and given the chance he deserved. Today, he’s a completely different pup — chasing tennis balls, playing with doggy friends, and soaking up couch cuddles like a pro.
Astro is now ready for a patient, loving home that will continue building his confidence and showing him just how wonderful life can be.
📲 This brave boy has come so far — now he just needs YOU. Call or text Lisa at 865-310-2599 or apply on our website today.
