About Star

Star wants to be at the heart of every room. At about 5 years old and around 49 pounds, she’s a brilliant, affectionate Plott Hound/Black Mouth Cur mix with a smile that rarely leaves her face. Friendly, animated, and confident, Star connects deeply with her humans and loves nothing more than being part of a lively household. She doesn’t play much with toys, but she comes alive for a walk around the block or a run through a big, safe backyard. She’s fully house trained and quiet in her crate—even described as a dream at home. Her foster calls her a future training superstar: sharp, eager to please, and delightfully attentive. Star’s people-loving instincts run high; she’s happiest trailing after her family and padding alongside your workspace, always ready for a cuddle or a quick celebration if you stand up from your chair. Star does well with children and dogs, but not with cats. She tends to react to other dogs on walks, so she’ll do best with a fenced yard where she can let loose. For anyone who wants an affectionate companion who thinks the world of you, Star is ready for her spotlight. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
