Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Shepherd / Mixed. Meet Astra — a certified love bug with a smile that could light up a room ✨ Astra is one of those rare dogs who loves with her whole heart. Once she decides you’re her person, she’ll gaze at you with the sweetest, most adoring eyes—and her big, joyful smiles are impossible not to fall in love with. After spending five years in her previous home, Astra found herself back with CAWS due to changes in her family’s circumstances—through no fault of her own. She’s understandably a little confused and searching for stability, but she’s ready to bond deeply again with someone who will cherish her forever. At 6 years old and 43 pounds, Astra may look like a little tank, but she’s a soft, cuddly lounger at heart. She’s happy to snooze the day away as long as she’s near her people… unless you mention a car ride. Car rides are her absolute favorite—second only to humans. Want an instant tail wag? Sing to her. Start dancing? She’ll wiggle and shake right along with you. Astra would thrive as the only pet, but she has successfully lived with dogs and cats in the past. She prefers calm, respectful dogs who give her space and is generally indifferent to cats. And kids? She LOVES them. Astra would do best with a family or person who spends a lot of time at home or can include her in their daily routine. Apartment or house with a yard—she’s good with either. She doesn’t enjoy being outside alone but loves going on walks or any activity where she can be by your side. She walks beautifully on leash, is fully house-trained, and is crate-trained. Her foster family absolutely adores her, and they know she will be an incredible addition to a loving home. If you’d like to meet Astra, please complete an application at caws/adoption-application. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis; we carefully match each dog to the best home. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Astra’s adoption fee is $200.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
