My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Astro is a special boy looking for a special home where his personality can shine! This handsome guy can be pretty nervous in new situations and when meeting new people, so he is looking for a quiet, low traffic home where he can settle in at his own pace. Once he warms up to his people he can be very silly and snuggly and even likes to show off his zoomies and play fetch. Astro has a nice history living with dogs and cats in his previous home and could likely do so again in the right environment. We think Astro will likely always be a bit of a homebody who hopes the party isn`t going to come to him. Astro would love to live a quiet and peaceful life with a patient family.

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
