A little about them
Meet Aster, a handsome and huggable 6-year-old boy who weighs 73 lbs. Aster is slightly obsessed with balls and loves a good game of fetch! He is a professional snuggler when it's not playtime and will greet you with a full-body hug after a long day.
Ideal Home
Aster loves humans of all sizes and is also dog-friendly, especially with dogs his own size, though slow introductions are best. He would also be very happy as your one and only furry companion. Aster is not a fan of cats or small animals.
Ongoing Health
All dogs are fully vetted before leaving rescue, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip.
Training & Support
Aster is house and crate trained, and he knows "sit" and "stay." His leash skills are pretty good and could be better with a little more practice, but he's a quick learner! Like all adopted dogs, Aster would benefit from the 3-3-3 rule as he adjusts to his new home.
