Meet Astro.
Security for my home office.
​
Astro was rescued at about 3 months of age from Lincoln NE. Astro (formerly Rex) was severely malnourished and abused. He was fostered and trained while becoming healthy by Julie Starns of Good Decisions Dog training. Astro then spent 10 weeks at the Nebraska State penitentiary with an inmate that worked with him and helped him obtain his Good Citizen K-9 certificate.
​
He returned to Julie for foster and continued to be trained, even beginning to train as a service animal. Astro found me when I was looking for a companion. We knew from the moment I first met him, it was meant to be.
