About Starfruit

Starfruit is a delightful 1-year-old Kelpie/Aussie mix weighing 23 lbs. This sweet girl thrives best outside city life, where she can fully relax and enjoy her surroundings. Starfruit can be a bit shy initially and takes some time to warm up, but once she's comfortable, she loves to cuddle and receive belly rubs. Her favorite pastimes include having zoomies and enjoying her toys, especially her Lambchop. She's well-behaved at home, reliably potty trained, and comfortable in her crate. Starfruit gets along well with other dogs, though she can be a little protective over her toys and needs careful monitoring at first. Her sensitive nature is better suited for quieter environments, where she can roam and feel secure. As for her needs, Starfruit requires an intermediate-level owner who can offer her structured exercise and mental stimulation. Ideally, she will need around 60-90 minutes of activity daily, in addition to breaks for potty walks. She's also well-suited for a home with kids aged 12 and older. If you think your home can be the perfect sanctuary for Starfruit, she’s ready to meet you and start a new chapter in life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
