About Astra

Meet Astra, a delightful and loyal companion searching for her forever family. With her charming personality, she's a professional cuddler who loves to snuggle up after a good play session in the yard. Astra enjoys being your shadow, always keeping a gentle, watchful eye on her people. She has a special fondness for running outside, playing in piles of leaves, and going for walks. When it’s treat time, she’s all in! Astra is crate trained and knows basic commands like sit and lay down. She comes when called and has a friendly demeanor towards cats and children, though she can get a little too excited around little ones. Meeting new people is her joy, but crawling babies and unfamiliar dogs require slow introductions. While she can be reactive to other dogs, consistent leash training and patient support will help her adjust. Because Astra is sensitive to loud noises, a calm and understanding home would suit her best. She’s made quite the journey from South America to Texas and now to Minnesota, eager to settle into a loving home. If you want a devoted friend who will always be by your side, Astra is ready to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
