Body
Meet Asta. Asta was found as a stray in Alpine.
She is about two years old, a Husky/ Heeler mix. The breed mix makes her intelligent as well as beautiful. Huskies are fun-loving and enjoy company, while Heelers are loyal, have a strong sense of duty, and are a working dog that takes their job seriously.
Asta enjoys play group with other dogs and would be a great companion for a single person, a couple, or a family with older kids.
