About

Meet Astro

Legs for days and a corkscrew stub tail! That's Mr. Astro!These kids came into our care after their mom was sadly hit by a car...and the 'owner' no longer wanted to be responsible for the puppies - (we were told she was an Aussie mix).They are about 6 months old (estimated DOB 4/2025), best guess, no guarantees, is that they are Aussie (or Cattle Dog)/Hound(Beagle?) mixes. We expect them to be medium size adults (~45lbs). ✨ About Astro: • Smart, eager to please, and already knows his basics • Loves to play fetch and a good game of tug • Big fan of belly rubs and cuddle time • House trained & crate trained (the hard work is done!)• Good with cats, kids, & other dogs! Astro has the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and snuggly sweetness. He’s looking for a family who will give him love, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. If you’re ready for a faithful companion and unconditional love, Astro could be your perfect match!He is neutered, dewormed and up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines (parvo/distemper/rabies), flea/tick/heartworm preventative, & microchipped! ____________________________________________________________________ **If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.  Also, a follow-up email to [email protected] is strongly recommended.

Adoption Process
The adoption process will begin with an extensive adoption application, accessible on our website. In addition to a series of questions (e.g., to ascertain the adopter's likes/dislikes, lifestyle, and general suitability), the application will require, among other things, a veterinary reference and two personal (non-family member) references. In lieu of a veterinary references, we will require 3 personal references. We will also require submission of digital photos of home and yard, as well as a home visit. Approved adopters will be required to take their pup or dog to the vet within 7 days of adoption. Each animal adopted from Safe At Last will go home with a medical booklet, complete with all details of vetting done prior to adoption, with explicit instructions as to the follow up required. All animals will be UTD with all age appropriate shots prior to adoption, and barring any health reasons that would preclude it, they will be placed on topical protection for fleas/ticks, and based on age, also started on heartworm preventative (or provided with the first dose). Any animals older than 4 months will be spayed/neutered before adoptions. For animals under 4 months old, the adoption contract will require spay/neuter by the time the animal is 6 months of age. We will require proof of same and will assign one of our members to have the task of following up on proof of spay and neuter. Under the contract, the adoptive family will not "own" the animal until we have received proof of spay and neuter. Failure to have the surgery performed will allow us, under the contract, to reclaim the pet.
