About Astro

Astro is a lively young Great Dane looking for attention and affection. He found his way to the humane society as a stray and has quickly made friends with some doggy peers. Standing confidently among his puppy friends, he sometimes requires gentle reminders to rest, especially since he is larger than many of them. While he can feel a bit overwhelmed in busy situations with lots of new people or noises, he warms up quickly with positive reinforcement and encouragement. Though we don’t have detailed information about his compatibility with cats, Astro shows no signs of a strong prey drive. He would thrive in a home with enough space for him to comfortably stretch his legs. As an active young pup, his energy levels are moderate now but will likely decrease as he matures. Adopt him today and let Astro bring joy to your family!
