Story
Meet Astrid. She is an American Pitbull and is one of the most loving and empathetic dogs you will meet. She loves to play, cuddle, give kisses, run, and chew on her bones. She is very gentle and has never met a stranger. She has separation anxiety and is a houdini when it comes to cages. She is house trained but will sometimes pee inside if left alone for a long time I am hoping she can go to a loving home where she will get plenty of attention and room to run and play. She plays well with other dogs, as long as no food is around
