Astro Shepherd Abilene, TX

Hello, I'm Astro. My world revolves around gentle pats and friendly voices. They soothe my stress, make me feel safe. I'm a mellow soul, preferring quiet moments over raucous play. I've learned to be gentle, to trust in the goodness of others. It's not always easy, but I try. I'm sweet, they tell me, a good boy. I just want to feel loved, to have a home where I can relax and be myself. Adopting me won't just give me a new lease on life, it'll bring a loyal, loving friend into yours.

Astro was added to the urgent list due to his very high stress levels in the shelter environment. He is still in need of urgent placement soon. While we cannot disclose all of the details, it is more than likely that Astro's previous owner had passed away. It is evident that this sweet boy has been internalizing and coping with emotional stress. On a positive note, Astro has been showing a lot of improvement in his foster home and has done great opening up around other dogs and people! Please reach out and call the shelter if you are interested in scheduling a meet and greet with this sweet and loving guy. He is in desperate need of a fresh new start and a family that can show him the love he needs.
