About Astro

Astro is a sweet little guy looking for a fresh start and a loving family. At around 5 years old and weighing about 20 pounds, he's a Maltese mix who deserves all the patience and kindness in the world. After being abandoned by his previous owners, Astro arrived in need of a good grooming and proved to be a champ at the salon. Initially, Astro can be a bit shy around new people, but with time, his lovely personality starts to shine. He thrives in calm environments, so a serene home would be best for him. If there are other dogs in the household, they need to be respectful and gentle during introductions. Astro has faced abandonment, and we want to ensure he finds a forever home that will never let him down again. He's a good boy who needs love, patience, and security. You can meet Astro in Gainesville, TX; out-of-state adopters can set up a FaceTime meet and greet before adoption. Let's help Astro find the family he truly deserves!
