Meet Asteroid
Asteroid’s story is one of hope and second chances. This 1.5-year-old mixed-breed boy made it out of the Arkansas kill-shelter system and traveled safely to Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 12/6/25. He is now settling into his foster home, where his sweet personality is shining through even more.
Asteroid's favorite thing to do is cuddle up on the couch with his humans. He is a pretty lowkey guy who enjoys a walk or 2, but is happy to do whatever you are doing all day or hangout around the hosue. He is a snuggly, gentle, friendly guy. He gets along wonderfully with the resident dog in his foster home (5 others) and enjoys playing in the backyard or chewing on a bone. He also loves the snow and has already discovered how much fun winter can be. At night, Asteroid sleeps quietly in his crate or in a dog bed in the bedroom without any issues.
He may take a little time to adjust during big changes—like the long transport up to Wisconsin—but that is completely normal. He can be a little timid when first meeting new people, but warms up after a bit and then wants all the pets. Once he settles in, he relaxes quickly and shows what an easygoing, loving dog he truly is.
Asteroid weighs about 45 pounds, is heartworm negative, house trained, and crate trained. He is dog friendly with both big and small dogs and kid friendly, making him a great match for many types of families.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
