Astro is an adorable puppy who has somehow ended up in a rural SC high-kill shelter. Puppies don't do well in shelters. HT would like to bring Astro to the DC metro area where his chances of being adopted are much better.

This little guy is a real sweetheart. He is a gentle puppy with so much love and affection to give. Astro is at the right age for bonding with people and training. Do you have the time and patience to care for and train a playful, active puppy?

Astro can come to the DC metro area if he has an approved foster or adopter. Can you please give this little teddy bear the loving home he needs? He will repay you with cuddly minutes, playful hours, and loving years! Please apply to foster or adopt Astro today.

The adoption fee for this dog is $350, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs....all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many!

Be sure to ask us about getting a free 30-minute phone consult with a professional dog trainer within the first 30 days of adopting - just for HT adopters. Start your new dog out on the right foot with this valuable, expert advice and guidance FREE!

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out information about fostering on our website at http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/pet-foster-forms/.
