Applications for his adoption should be submitted at socorescue.com (no need to register or login). Questions about Astro and/or our adoption policy should be sent to socorescue8@gmail.com; please do not call the shelter number.***

Astro and his five siblings came to our rescue after being surrendered by their former owner. The owner agreed to foster the pups until they were ready for adoption and, at first, all was going very well. But the living conditions and level of care being provided for the pups became totally unacceptable. Luckily, we were able to quickly relocate the pups to safer foster location, which is where they've remained since. Astro and his siblings, four brothers and a sister, are now much happier, healthier and ready to bring a lot of love into your home. 

The biggest pup of this litter is Astro. And just wait til you feel how wonderfully squeezable he is! This mushy-feeling fellow definitely has some growing to do. But it's not just his plump body that'll have you wanting to adopt Astro, it's his super-friendly personality that will. 

 Astro has received his first year "puppy" vaccines. He's also received his rabies and a Bordetella vaccination, been de-wormed and treated against parasites at proper intervals as well as being started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. Astro’s adopter must agree to having him neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. He will require all of his basic training.
