About Star

Star came to the shelter with her companion Seven when her previous owner faced hard times. This German Shepherd settles into new surroundings quickly and has a natural talent for making friends. Playtime is a highlight—she’s happiest in a yard chasing after a ball, confidently running and returning it over and over. Between games, she seeks out a quick pet before darting off to the next round. Star already knows a few basic commands, like sitting and waiting, and her leash skills improve with practice each day. She is house trained and has lived harmoniously with both cats and other dogs, making her a versatile fit for many households. Energetic by nature, Star blossoms when given space to play, but she still enjoys leaning in for affection and building trust with her humans. A family that gives her patience and opportunities to grow will discover how much love she’s ready to offer. For those interested, the shelter operates by appointment and requests that adopters fill out an application before visiting. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
