Aster is about a year and a half old and weighs in at 50lbs—a dog focused on being close to his people and joining in wherever life takes them. This easygoing, happy companion has settled into a great routine: regular walks with no leash drama, hopping in the car for daily errands, and savoring time just being part of the family. On car rides, he’s ready and waiting in the back seat. At home, he doesn’t just want couch time—he wants to be pressed up next to you. Aster is extremely affectionate, glued to his humans and soaking up every bit of attention. He’s crate trained, knows his basic commands, and is great on leash. If you already have a dog, he fits in easily—he recently joined two labs for a playdate and was playful, social, and relaxed. Grooming? Not a struggle. Ear cleaning days are basically the highlight of his week. Over time he’s gained a lot of confidence, and he handles time alone much better now—he’s learned his people always come back. Aster does not do well with cats or small animals due to prey drive, but he is just a genuinely lovely dog for someone looking for an affectionate, loyal companion who loves joining in for life’s everyday adventures.
