Astro (A168110)

We have a very special dog for you to meet today: Here is Astro, a 4 year old, neutered male, pit bull mix.  Astro’s story has a sad start, but we’re hoping for a very happy ending!  He currently weighs 54 pounds, but was a skeleton of just 24 pounds when he was found a couple of weeks ago. Due to proper diet and care, he has recovered and is ready now for a real, caring home. Astro has a calm, pleasant disposition, and makes a great companion for walks and just hanging out. He’s attentive, well-behaved, focused and gentle. He is a quick learner and already sits nicely for treats and walks right at your side on leash. A quiet, steady rolling pal with lots of love and personality to share. Astro can be adopted for just $57, which includes his MOA license, vaccinations and microchip.
