Astro’s story is one of resilience and hope. This sweet boy was surrendered to Fulton County Animal Services in heartbreaking condition after his owner shared that his health had been declining and financial hardship made it difficult to get him the care he needed. Despite everything he’s been through, Astro’s gentle spirit has never faded. He’s a loving, kind-hearted boy who is simply looking for a fresh start and a family willing to give him the second chance he deserves. Astro is ready to leave his past behind and begin the next chapter of his life filled with comfort, love, and happiness. Could you be the one to show him what forever truly means? All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in adopting or fostering? Need more info on this dog?

American Staffordshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

This sweet boy was surrendered to Fulton County Animal Services in heartbreaking condition after his owner shared that his health had been declining…. Confident, loyal and very people-focused, with the same goofy streak as other bully breeds.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60+ minutes daily plus mental work.

✂️ Grooming

Minimal. Short coat, occasional brushing, needs a coat in winter.

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

Frequently caught by building breed restrictions. Check your lease. Otherwise a clean, adaptable and affectionate city dog.

Adoption fee $350
