About Starla

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Starla, an approximately 2-year-old medium-sized English Bulldog mix with a beautiful brown coat. Starla is a true survivor—she bravely delivered her puppies while battling collapsed lungs, but she's now fully healed and thriving. This gentle, affectionate soul has an amazing temperament, adores people of all ages, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Starla is seeking a feline-free home, as she isn't a match for cats. Starla is currently heartworm positive. She will need 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic) before receiving heartworm injections. The cost of heartworm treatment will be the adopter's responsibility, so please check with your veterinarian for pricing and options. Despite this medical hurdle, Starla is strong, resilient, and eager to fill a loving home with her warmth and joy. Fun fact: with a birthday of March 16, Starla is a Pisces, known for being sweet, loving, and deeply empathetic! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
