NYC animal shelter, Moxy hotel put on adorable dog adoption event
Animal Haven and Moxy East Village celebrated National Dog Day with adoptable puppies and Hebrew National hot dogs.
An adorable American Staffordshire Terrier mix named Astro is looking for his forever home in Los Angeles.
Astro is about 6 years old. He's considered the sweetest pup around, according to the shelter where he lives.
Astro is at the west Los Angeles location of Best Friends Animal Society.
He's loyal and unwavering, according to the shelter.

"Astro is the perfect companion pet," said Hauptman.
The terrier mix is active, enjoys attention and loves to take car rides, she noted.

"While he may occasionally whimper, it is likely a sign of stress or anxiety (from new environments), and less of a sign of complaining or whining," she said of the pup.

Astro also loves to take walks and knows exactly where he wants to go, the shelter said.
When it comes to climbing on furniture, Astro will follow the lead of humans, the shelter notes.

Astro is respectful of space, Hauptman said — but if allowed, he will jump on the bed and cuddle with his human.
He is also careful when going up and down stairs and is not reckless in his movements, the shelter said.

He loves his toys and loves to play fetch — but should be placed in a home with no other pets, as he's not friendly toward other animals.
Astro has an award on his resume, too.
He recently received the Best Friends Animal Society Adoptable Pet Award for best action sequence.
