Adoptable Bethesda Pet: Astro The Lab Needs A Forever Home

BETHESDA, MD — If you're thinking about adopting a furry friend, consider a local non-profit like Best Dawg Rescue in Bethesda. The rescue group focuses on providing at-risk dogs in local shelters a forever home.

Best Dawg Rescue saves injured, ill, neglected, starved and unwanted pups in the community and often restores their health until they are ready for adoption. Some dogs need medical care or TLC to bring out their personalities, but others are ready to adopt, like Astro the Labrador Retriever puppy.

Astro is only 15 weeks old, his profile says.

"Our new sweet-as-licorice lab puppy is a wonderful little guy," his profile reads. "He is happy through and through, and he loves other dogs too."

Please ask about Astro to find out when he will be at an upcoming adoption show. Best DawgRescue's weekly Saturday adoption shows are posted on their website here.

Note that "DAWG" places dogs in the metropolitan D.C. area and that pre-applications ensure dogs will be at adoption shows applicants can attend.

For more information on Theodore, or any of the other wonderful DAWG dogs, please submit an online application. There is no obligation. Once your application is received, a DAWG volunteer will contact you.
