About Star

Star is the kind of dog who brings a smile without even trying. At just 10 months old, she possesses the heart and spirit of a little warrior. After overcoming distemper as a young pup, Star emerged with a unique charm—her hind leg taps to its own rhythm due to nerve damage. This quirky trait adds to her personality as she trots along like there's a secret beat just for her. Always eager to chase a toy or snuggle after playtime, she’s a delightful companion. House trained and crate trained, Star is learning to enjoy walks in new places but can be a bit shy, especially around unfamiliar faces. She gains confidence with a routine and patient encouragement. Ideal for an adopter who understands the value of calm, gradual introductions, Star can flourish with activities designed to boost her self-esteem like urban agility or dog sports. Star thrives with other dogs, enjoying playtime with pups of all sizes, and her silly, affectionate nature makes her a joy to be around. A home with calm adults and another playful dog would create the perfect environment for her to continue growing. With the right support, Star will shine brighter every day, bringing love and laughter to her new home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
