About Starburst
Some dogs have a knack for quietly slipping in and making themselves unforgettable. Starburst is one of those, a scrappy survivor with more spirit than her tiny frame suggests. She’s about 1 year old (born under Gemini, so expect cleverness and affection), measuring just 31 lbs. After surviving unimaginable conditions—forced to live outside chained up, enduring the cold, and arriving emaciated—she still wags her tail, trusts people, and beams with optimism. There’s no mistaking her: a pure black tongue and sincere fondness for being close to humans. This is a true lap dog at heart. Starburst thrives on attention and is happiest right up against her person. She’s demonstrated patience and warmth with kids, friendliness with other dogs, and even gets the seal of approval from cats—remarkably well-rounded for a young survivor. Her favorite move is to curl up beside you, content to call any place with gentle hands her home. Starburst isn’t after perfection, just a place to be safe and loved for good. Starburst is fostered in Houston, TX, though transport can be arranged to Austin or beyond for an additional fee. Click apply to start the adoption process.
