Star is a 4-year-old Catahoula/Hound mix in Jackson, MS with a story that leaves a mark. At about 60 pounds, she has faced cruelty most dogs thankfully never know—surviving a gunshot wound that left her with permanent damage to her jaw and a quirky tongue that always hangs out. Still, Star never let this trauma dull her spirit. She bounces through each day with a warm, affectionate nature and genuine resilience. Whether she’s dashing outside for a run, cooling off on a car ride, or sprawling happily beside you for snuggles, Star brings balance and delight to every moment. She’s great with kids and gets along well with other dogs, but her drive to chase means a home without cats is best. Adventure calls to her—she’d love life with someone eager to share both the fun and the quiet moments. Smart, eager, and spayed with up-to-date vaccinations, Star already knows “sit” and navigates the doggie door like a champ. If what you’re after is companionship with grit and heart, Star is ready to meet you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
