About Starla

Starla is a young, bright Labrador mix with a lot of promise. At just around four months old, she’s pegged as both clever and attentive, always watching the older dogs for cues—especially if snacks are involved. While she’s absolutely playful, Starla has a sense of calm when things settle down. She’s still learning crate training and getting the hang of routines, but her eagerness to please makes her a fast study. Starla gets along well with other dogs and is reported to be good with children. Her interactions with cats haven’t been tested yet. Physically, she sports a short black coat with hints of white, weighs about 20 lbs, and hasn’t been spayed yet, but her adoption fee covers her upcoming spay through the rescue’s vet. Starla is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and receiving preventatives. Born March 5, she’s a Pisces—maybe that’s where her gentle spirit comes from. She’s waiting in Jacksonville, TX, for a family ready to help her grow. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
