Rescued Dog Astra's Adoption Fee Covered Thanks to Florida Panthers Player
Fort Lauderdale Shelter Dog Astra Finds Hope and a Loving Home Fort Lauderdale, FL – Astra, a one-year-old shepherd mix, arrived at the Humane Society Broward County underweight and with heartworm. Her story, however, is one of resilience and hope. "Despite everything she's been through, she continues to wag her tail," says Jade Alexander from HITS 97.3, who features Astra in a recent video promoting her adoption. The video, which has already garnered significant attention online, highlights Astra's sweet and gentle nature. Thanks to the Benny's Buddies program, sponsored by Florida Panthers player Sam Bennett, Astra's adoption fee is fully covered, including her heartworm treatment. The program covers all adoption costs, including spaying/neutering, flea and tick treatment, and microchipping. "Every time Sam Bennett scores a goal, a shelter pet benefits—and Astra is one of the lucky ones," Alexander explains in the video. The Humane Society Broward County encourages those interested in adopting Astra to visit their website at www.humanebroward.com. Astra's story is a testament to the power of community support and the unwavering spirit of rescued animals.
