My story

Looking for a co-pilot to join you in adventuring across the galaxy? Astro the wonder-dog is ready to meet you! Though he isn`t from a space-age aerial city, he`s sure to be your new best friend. He`s a high energy, fun loving fellow, who came to us when his previous owners were no longer able to care for him. His lovely floppy ears and goofy expression are a surefire way to make everyone he meets fall in love instantly. He likes hanging with people and dogs alike, and has lived with other dogs in his previous home. Though he loves to play, he also knows when it`s time to chill, and has no problem setting his toys aside to relax and soak in affection from his favorite peeps. If Astro sounds like the perfect fit for that empty seat in your aerocar, come on in and meet him today!This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!Be sure to check the “shelter information” box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Astro, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
