About Astro

Astro is a sweet little guy looking for a loving home. At around 5 years old and weighing about 20 pounds, he’s a Maltese mix with a gentle spirit. He was abandoned by his previous owners, which makes finding him a forever family even more important. Despite his rough past, Astro handled a recent grooming like a champ, quickly showing his resilient side. He can be shy when meeting new people, so he’ll need some time to settle in and feel safe. Patience and kindness will reveal his charming personality. Astro gets along with other dogs, but a calm environment is essential to keep him comfortable. He’s best suited for a home where introductions are slow and gentle. This sweet boy deserves stability and love after his tough experiences. Astro is located in Gainesville, TX, and we can help facilitate adoptions nationwide, including virtual meet-and-greets. Let’s help Astro find that forever home he so deserves!
