About The Awesome Astro
Astro is a small Shepherd X (20kg), who connects easily with people and mixes well with other dogs. He is great with toddlers, kids and teens, the elderly, men and women, and is currently living with cats and caged birds. Ideally he is looking for his best mate, as he loves helping in the kitchen, playing in the garden, working in the yard and is a happy traveler.
Astro has lived rurally and in an apartment. He can wait well, and has lovely manners so is no problem when just sharing your day, no matter what you happen to be doing. He is a very steady dog, who has been described as "bomb proof" as he is not easily rattled and very used to change. He communicates with a quiet noise to go out to the toilet, and will provide a single alert bark if something is not right (stranger enters, water bowl empty) otherwise he is a very quiet dog who will look to you for cues and responds well. If you are looking for a listener, this guy will hang on your every word.
Everyone who meets Astro just loves him, and he has built something of a fan base across the years. He has known several homes which have ended through no fault of his own. His previous placements have seen him stand as an elderly ladies anti-anxiety companion, autistic boys companion, truckers mate, and PTSD support dog. In each placement he stood as a wonderful companion and learned awesome skills relevant to each owner. Unfortunately each owner has had to relinquish him due to life demands (issues with real estate approval, marriage breakdown/family separation, declining health, job loss & relocation.) He has soldiered on through some very sad farewells, as there was not one of his previous owners who parted without tears.
Today Astro just wants to find his forever home and best friend.. someone he can bond with and live out his days happily confident that his best mate is going to stick by him... forever.
He is a great dog who really does deserve a forever home.
If you have a long term home on offer, and are looking for a well behaved dog.. he's right here waiting to hear from you!
Medical notes
Astro is a fit and healthy dog who does not require any prescribed medication.
He had hip surgery as a young dog and has recovered well and received a glowing bill of health at his recent vet check. His current carer provides Cod Liver Oil tablets to maintain his coat and support joint care.
