Meet Aster, a beautiful 2-year-old black Lab mix weighing 70 lbs. She came to us from Kern County Animal Services and is currently fostered in Sacramento while she waits for her forever home.

Aster is the kind of dog who makes life feel peaceful at home, but brings a little comedy and enthusiasm to her daily adventures. She has calm, polite house manners and is truly a joy to live with. Gentle, attentive, and eager to please, she’s a classic companion dog.

On leash, Aster walks beautifully — until a squirrel appears. She is very squirrel-obsessed and will yank and pull to try to get to them, often scanning and looking up trees as you walk (it’s actually pretty funny ). She loves her daily one-hour walk and starts out with an excited, brisk pace, usually slowing down after about 30 minutes. She knows sit, down and drop it.

She has played nicely with a neighbor’s puppy, but can be dog selective on walks. If another dog shows aggression toward her, she has barked back and pulled strongly in response. Because of this, she would benefit from a confident handler and continued positive leash work.

Aster also enjoys water and is wonderfully polite at mealtimes — she waits at your feet and has excellent food manners.

In the home, she is soft, respectful when greeting people, and very responsive to gentle correction. She clearly wants to do the right thing and thrives with guidance and consistency.

Aster would do best with an active adopter who appreciates her enthusiasm outdoors and her calm, loving presence indoors. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with personality, brains, and a little squirrel patrol spirit, Aster may be your girl.
