Astro - Great Dane Dog for Adoption in Albert Lea, Minnesota

Astro is not ashamed to look for attention or shower volunteers with affection whenever possible. He was found as a stray and since arriving he has made a few dog friends at the humane society. Sometimes he needs gentle guidance on when to take a break, because he's bigger than a lot of his puppy peers. He is confident and mildly assertive with other dogs, but can be overwhelmed and opt for submissiveness/shyness when there are too many new things people smells or sounds all at once. However, he quickly warms up and regains his confidence with small amounts of reinforcement and encouragement. We have limited information regarding his cat compatibility, but see no prey drive that would cause hesitation. He will likely thrive in any home that has adequate space for him to stretch his long legs. His energy levels are medium as a puppy and will likely taper off a little as he progresses towards adulthood. While we don't have flying cars, you can apply to adopt Astro to be part of your future family.

All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org

When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition.

Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed.

If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only.

If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.
