Astrid is 80 pounds of pure love.

Every week, CochraneNow gets a special, in-studio visit from an adoptable dog and each of these pups has such an incredible story.

"Astrid came to us a few weeks ago during one of our transports where we went and picked up 60 dogs from a high kill shelter in Bakersfield, California" explains Amanda from BARCS Rescue. "She was red-listed due to her breed and the way that she looks."

"We went in and scooped her up and brought her up here to find a loving home."

Bully breeds have a stigma associated with them, and Astrid is here to show you should never judge a book by its cover.
