About Star
Star started her rescue journey in the hardest way imaginable. She survived abandonment and neglect, arriving at the shelter underweight and battling heartworm. Despite everything, she greeted her rescuers with a wag and kept her spark alive. After successful heartworm treatment and being spayed, Star spent a solid month in a board-and-train program, and the turn-around has been impressive. She’s now healthy, more confident, and genuinely happy in her skin. Star is social, meets new people with enthusiasm, and is generous with affection—expect full-body cuddles, excited jumps, and a goofy willingness to win hearts. She learns quickly, knows how to heel on walks, and is even off-leash trained. She thrives on play, loves exploring new places, and takes every chance to show off her tug and fetch skills. In social settings, Star assumes the room is gathered just for her, and she handles different environments with growing ease. Dog friendships are still a work in progress, but she’s making great strides on group walks and has enjoyed positive, managed playdates with the right canine partners. The key for Star is careful matchmaking when it comes to dog buddies. At home, she’s dependable—crate and house trained, calm in the car, and ready for any adventure with her person. Star needs a stable, structured home with adults who value ongoing training and will help her gain even more confidence. Her future family should be committed to expanding her world, not limiting it, and the rescue will sponsor trainer handoff sessions to help. Star’s resilience and joyful personality shine—she’s ready for someone who recognizes how far she’s come and how much more she can offer. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
