Here's what the humans have to say about me:
You may meet and apply to adopt Starla at our ADOPTION EVENT on SATURDAY, JANUARY 10th from 12 Noon - 3:00 at PETCO in IRVINE. (Our event is held INSIDE of the PETCO store.) adoptpetmatch@gmail.com
*Our event is held INSIDE of the PETCO store from 12:00 - 3:00*
Starla is a female Shih Tzu mix approximately 2 years in age. She has a soft white wavy coat with very light tan markings. Starla has been professionally groomed and unfortunately had to have her beautiful coat shaved completely. She was without a doubt the most matted, neglected dog we have come across in a long time. Her coat was literally one solid mat. In a short amount of time, her lovely coat will grow back in all its glory, soft and long. Starla's coat is non-shedding. She weighs in at 12 pounds full grown. Starla is a shy, tender hearted sweetie. She is feminine, gentle, and seems quite innocent as to the ways of the world. She is looking for someone who wants to snuggle with her and keep her safe and secure. Starla gets animated around people she knows and will gently wag her tail in hello. She is very polite and non-demanding. When the treats come out, Starla will patiently wait her turn behind all the other dogs. She is good with other dogs and seems to enjoy the company of another doggie companion. She is good with cats, and good with older children who can be gentle with her. Starla loves soft doggie beds and cozy things, preferring to hang out inside with her people. She is learning how to walk on leash but definitely prefers a harness over a leash attached directly to her collar. She rides quietly in the car and tries hard to please her people. Starla is still learning about the world and would love to have a gentle, kind owner who she can give all her love and trust to. She promises to blossom into a lovely, devoted, loyal pet and companion. Starla was brought in stray to a very high volume/high kill shelter where we rescued her. She is healthy and ready for her new future and forever home today!
Starla’s adoption donation is $400 (*TAX DEDUCTABLE). She has been SPAYED, MICROCHIPPED, VACCINATED, DEWORMED, DEFLEAED and PROFESSIONALLY GROOMED. Also included is her collar with ID, harness, leash, folder with all of her records, a great PETCO coupon book, and a fun goodie bag with toys, etc.
Starla is being fostered by Pet Match Rescue Foster Volunteer, Edie and is ready for her forever home.
You may meet and apply to adopt Starla at our ADOPTION EVENT on SATURDAY, JANUARY 10th from 12 Noon - 3:00 at PETCO in IRVINE located at 15333 Culver Dr., Irvine, CA 92604. (Our event is held INSIDE of the PETCO store.) adoptpetmatch@gmail.com
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND BRINGING ALL CURRENT DOGS AND MEMBERS OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD IN EFFORT TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY. THANK YOU FOR WANTING TO SAVE A LIFE AND ADOPT A RESCUE.
