Meet Astra
Breed: Cane Corso
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Astra has been beyond perfect for our mental health as a family. We lost a pup at only 11 weeks and Astra came into our life to heal our hearts not long after. While it was difficult shes the best thing to happen to us. Having a dog like Astra has helped my anxiety alot, its got me out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and moving further to improve my mental health. I couldnt live without her
