Star sparkles with personality. Star has more personality per pound than is fair for any dog! She would like a home where she can snuggle and cuddle, and be a very active part of the household. About 4 years old, Star has a wonderful temperament. Star came to Illinois Humane when still under a year in age. She had a bit of a rough start, but has since been with either volunteers or an adoptive home who each and every one were serious about proper handling and training. She is accustom to minding her Ps and Qs. Weighing 43 pounds, Star is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on shots. Obsessed with playing with squeaky toys, Star is much fun to play with or to watch when she gets her toy in her mouth and shakes, shakes, shakes! However, Star is never toy-possessive and is quite gentle. She rides calmly and politely in the car. She is also not destructive, and while she has been crate-trained, her current foster mom leaves her loose when she must be away from home. Star would be best in a home of an experienced pit bull guardian with advanced handling skills. She is dog aggressive. While with Illinois Humane, after training classes and more positive experiences on her outings, she can sit quietly while other dogs pass her by. With dogs she does get along with, she characteristically, as pit bulls will, plays very roughly. It is important any canine housemate not escalate play or play too roughly him/herself. Canine play and interaction should always be supervised. No cats, though. As an only animal, Star will fill any four-legged void all by herself. She thrives in an active household, particularly with anyone who loves to run or who walks for exercise. Take her on a three-mile run, and after a quick nap, Star is ready to go again. She has a beautiful athletic build herself. She would make a great agility dog. With a good handler, she would be fine among other dogs on an agility field.
