The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at 'https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application. Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home My name is Astra. I am 5 years old and weigh 25.5 pounds. I need a new home because I am a breeder release. I am being fostered in Omaha, NE. I am calm but curious and learning to trust. Once I get the lay of the land, I like to follow closely with the pack. I very much want to fit in and be part of a family. Thoughtful introductions will help set me up for success with new people and animals. I’m still working on the basics of home life. I will go up and down short flights of steps, and I will potty outside, but I don’t give any signals so I’d do better with a set routine. I’m starting to enjoy toys & chew bones. Oh, and I’m told I snore :) I love mealtime, back scratches and snuggling with people. I have a velvety coat and speckled skin. I get along with adults and other dogs, but maybe not as a playmate (yet!) I would rather not be crated, but I’m quiet while in there. I need continued training, but my foster mom says I’m going to make a great house pet. Here's a little more about me: Housetrained? Working on it Leash-trained? Working on it Rides well in car? Yes, very well Good with other dogs? Yes (companionable) Good with cats? Not yet tested Good with young children? Not yet tested Good with strangers? Yes Shy or confident? Shy Barks? No Apartment qualified? No Any Special needs or Health Issues? No Adoption Fee? $ 375 Additional Comments: I’m still discovering the world, and every day brings a little more confidence. I would likely do best with a patient adopter who will continue helping me learn, settle in and feel safe. If you’re looking for a curious companion with lots of potential and a gentle, loving heart, I may be the perfect match! The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at ''https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application. All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Other medical needs diagnosed while in foster care are also treated prior to adoption. MABTR requires a fenced in area from families who own their home, however we DO adopt to apartment complexes and communities where fences are not permitted due to leases and covenants. In these cases a leash law must be enforced. We do not accept invisible fencing. MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.
