Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Astro is the most perfect dog I have ever met in my entire life and I will stand by that FOREVER. All Astro wants is all the cuddles he can possibly get, EVER - as soon as he leaped onto the chair, he was NOT getting back up, it was 100% nap time. Astro essentially gives off the looks of a lab puppy that got stung by a bee, with the personality of a PERFECT little puppy. He adores everyone, anything, and everything; we know he will do phenomenally in just about any home prepared to take on, and love such a wonderful little boy. At about 11 months old, and only about 30 pounds; he is the PERFECT sized, too! Astro loves other dogs, and enjoys playing with all of them, any size, ANY day, he has little to no interest in cats, he's likely learned a lesson or 2 from his feline friends! He also loves kids, specifically those who are willing to let him warm up before pouncing on him with all the love (& loudness) they have to offer! We know this sweet boy will flourish in just about any loving, and patient home.
My adoption fee is only $310! This fee covers all of my vaccines, microchip, nex/heartguard, heartworm test, AND my spay/neuter!
Think I might be the right fit for your home? You can apply for me here https://animalwelfarefriends.org/adopt/application/ OR you can apply in person when you come visit me any day during business hours! You can even adopt me that same day once approved!!
Please Note: All adoptions are on a first-come first served basis with approved adoption applicants. We do not hold animals unless the adoption is out-of-state, and fees apply. The animal's welfare is our first and only priority, in doing so, they are moved from the shelter into their respective homes as quickly, & humanely as possible to remove the risk of undergoing extreme stress, compromising the immune system, & behavioral concerns.
DISCLAIMER: Genetic Breed accuracy is NOT guaranteed; we assess by the following:
Interview with or paperwork from with the previous owner
Intake evaluation observations (behavior, physical appearance, and energy level)
Source documents from which to analyze characteristics
Consultation with other staff
