I posted originally a week ago, about little Astro, who had not seen an easy life. He was initially found by a city employee, doing her rounds in urban Hartford, CT. He was tethered outside, on a two foot leash, to his doghouse, which he outgrew at 4 months of age. In the neighborhood, gunshots were common, and dogfighting was sport.

This angel employee saw the good in Astro, and the bad in his situation -- and she decided to do something about it and not write him off as "another pit bull" -- THANK YOU, B! Below is Astro in the local shelter -- not quite out of the woods yet..

In the next week, Astro was released from the shelter, bathed, loved on, and played with a variety of pups. He was at the vet for his neuter and heartworm test (negative!), plus he got his shots and a lot of "oohs" and "aahs" at his pretty chocolate coat.

Next, enter Kelly and Mark, from Upstate New York. They fell in love with little A's pictures, and had to meet him. I had a prior adopter in Upstate help with the home-visit (THANKS, ALENA!) and the rest was history.

Kelly and Mark came down for a visit and he was everything amd more than they expected -- sweet, puppyish, innocent...

So, here's where the story ends... Astro is in his forever home with his loving parents -- and new adoptive siblings -- we had a great time with you, little boy, and I'm so proud that with all you've been through, you still love with all your heart...
