She got all the best qualities from all her breeds and she’s not very vocal at all! She’s played with so many family friends dogs but they have all been smaller than her and she definitely is overwhelming to smaller dogs, she just overbearing with her energy and she needs to be friends with a doggy her size to actually be able to play with and have fun!!“

• “Hello my name is Asta pasta man! I have a cat sister that has just started to warm up to me, I used to be really hyper but I’m learning a lot with age. Im not always a fan of other dogs, and I’m a little wary around some people, I definitely appreciate my space. I am very food motivated though and my mom had been very proud of me lately so I’ve been getting lots of yummy treats for my good behavior. I know lots of tricks and my recall is okay, but when I get too excited I don’t always listen to my mom.“

• “Hello there! My name is Asta and I am a 1 year-old red merle mini Australian (American) shepherd. I love to be around humans and think that everything is a game! I love to chew on toys or anything I come across, everyone calls me a destroyer! My favorite thing to do lately is to go outside and run around the backyard until I decide that it is time to sit next to my companions. My favorite type of treats are chicken/beef jerky, cantaloupe, coconut whip cream, and most of all, freeze-dried organs! My meals consist of things that keep me healthy such as omega fish oil, flaxseed meal, pumpkin purée, beef/chicken broth, and kibble that is human-grade.“

  — Joanna Q.
