Name: Astrid.

Age and sex: 3 year-old female.

Breed: Carolina Dog and Pit Bull mix.

Weight and size: Large and 60 pounds.

Coat: Short and tan.

Location: Cody’s Friends Rescue.

Activity level: High.

Likes: Swimming, playing fetch, bully sticks, bones stuffed with frozen peanut butter, snuggling, and giving big hugs!

Dislikes: Going to bed without a treat.

Training: Astrid knows basic and place commands and is housebroken and crate trained. She loves structured training and continues to go to social classes with other dogs and people.

Yard requirements: Since Astrid is an energetic girl who loves to run and play fetch, a fenced-in yard would be preferable.

Kids: Loves people of all sizes, but does best with new people when she’s introduced and not surprised by them.

Dogs and cats: Astrid is great with most dogs, but would do best with a male canine companion who is the same size or larger than her. As with meeting new dogs, Astrid prefers a proper introduction. She has not been tested with cats.

Health issues: None.

Her story: Astrid was abandoned by her former family when they moved and left her behind on a trailer deck, where she had lived alone and isolated for most of her life. Luckily, some neighbors spotted her, and she was rescued.

Her ideal forever home: Astrid would love to be in a home with an assertive, experienced dog parent who would give her lots of time and attention, including regular walks and playtime. Jogging, playing fetch, and going swimming are a must for this perky pup so she can stay happy and balanced. Since Astrid is such a lover girl, she would like a special person or family who would enjoy cuddling with her on the couch and let her sleep on the people bed.

Other details prospective adopters should know: Astrid has evolved socially from a lonely life of little interaction, so she is not the kind of dog who can be thrown into new situations without guidance and support.
