About Starling

Meet Starling, a remarkable young German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix that's sure to steal your heart. She embodies everything that makes these breeds special—intelligent enough to learn quickly, athletic enough to join you on all your adventures, and fiercely loyal to her family. Starling thrives on activity and is eager to be a part of all that you do, whether it’s hiking trails, running paths, or camping trips. Starling isn't just looking for a typical pet; she seeks a partner who shares her zest for life. This sweet girl has a playful spirit and is already potty trained, up to date on vaccinations, and friendly with dogs when introduced properly. Although she hasn’t been spayed yet, she’s on the lookout for a foster-to-adopt home while the rescue takes care of her vetting. Given her energy, we recommend a home with children ages 8 and up. While cats are currently unknown, Starling will need a securely fenced yard—at least 6 feet high—to safely run and play. This girl is poised to become a once-in-a-lifetime companion, ready to bring joy and excitement into your life! Let’s help Starling transition from the shelter to the loving home she truly deserves.
