Aster

Aster is an 8 month old, 50ish lb Black Lab/Basenji mix, but the breed mix is 100% guesswork on our part. Aster is a big, beautiful, strong, energetic young dog. She loves to take walks or hikes and explore all the things along the trail. She does well on leash, but a harness is a must since she is so strong. She also loves going to the lake. She doesn't swim, but she splashes around paw-deep in the water like it's the coolest thing ever! Aster's most favorite thing is chasing flying insects, and she has plenty to choose from with all the Cicadas and June Bugs. She is hilarious to watch when she is on the chase! She likes to play fetch and tug with durable toys; the soft stuffed ones only last about 5 minutes! Aster require a certain type of home. She warms up to women quickly, but will take a little longer with men. Small children make her very nervous, so no kids under the age of 10. She is very selective about her dog friends, so an only dog home would be best. She is housebroken and has learned some basic commands, but will need positive reinforcement refresher courses on the commands. She will be a fun and loyal companion for the right adopter. The first step to meeting Aster is to submit your application, and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.
