History: We welcomed a group of deserving puppies and young dogs to our organization from an overcrowded shelter who needed to give them a second chance! They are sweet, social, and goofy pups who are hoping to find their forever home soon!

A note from the foster: Astro has come a long way in his 8 months with us. While he continues to be skittish with people at first, he warms up fairly quickly (usually after an hour with guests.) 

It may take a little longer to get used to a new house and family, but once he does, he is very snuggly and fun.  He really loves other dogs and wants to play, so would do better with a younger dog in the home. Our older dogs will play with him for a bit, but we can’t see when they are done playing and find him annoying. 

His personality is super silly and sweet. We enjoy watching his zoomies and he seems happy entertaining himself with a toy. He loves snuggles and laying on your lap during movies. He also loves walks and seems to have endless energy. He’s about 50 lbs, so a great size for those who don’t want a super large dog. 

Adoption Fee: $500 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsively more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
