Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is Casper. He is a super little Maltese (maybe a mix) that came to use when his mom lost her life in an accident. This really turned Casper's world upside down. Since he was 8 weeks old, Casper had been the only dog with just one person living in the home and all of a sudden his life drastically changed. He was confused when he came into rescue but has done well adjusting and will do SUPER in his new home where he can once again feel he truly belongs to someone. He is 6 or 7 years old and weighs a little over 10 pounds. Casper is house and crate trained. He does well with other dogs although he does not need to live with one in the home. He is good with cats and would be fine with children that are 15 or older. Casper was in an adult only household and would probably enjoy that same situation in his new home.
Casper likes to run errands with you in the car and likes to go for walks. He sometimes sleeps in bed and sometimes chooses a dog bed in the room. He loves attention and is responsive to his foster mom. Casper did well at the goomer's. He can live with or without another dog in the home but he does love to race around in the yard with the other dogs. He doesn't play much with toys but has shown more interest in them lately so we feel that will change when he gets his forever home.
Casper's adoption will require.... a fenced yard or area large enough for exercise that leads directly into the home, a person that is not gone a typical 8 hour work day, someone that works from home and can have their dog in their work space, someone who is retired or works very part time (not more than a few hours a few days a week). Any children in the home must be at least 15 years old.
Star-Mar Rescue is a natural care provider that place our dogs in homes that are already on a natural care program or are eager to learn. We use no chemicals on our dogs, no commercial flea, tick or heartworm products (oral or topical), do blood titers instead of randomly vaccinating. Our yards are without fertilizer and weed killer and our homes are toxin free. We believe in protecting without harm. Dogs can be protected without the use of harsh and damaging chemicals and unnecessary vaccinations. They do best on a species appropriate, no grain, raw diet. This simple step will provide your dog the nutrition needed to keep them healthy and happy for many years unlike feeding a lifetime of processed foods.
We are happy to talk with you about caring for your dogs in a way that helps to keep them disease free long into their senior years, through their teens and even into their 20's. We are convinced that removing unnecessary drugs and feeding a species appropriate food, adds years to our dog's lives. Join millions of dog owners who are learning to protect their dogs using healthy, immune building care methods that will keep your companion vital for many years. You can go to Star-Mar Rescue Natural Care facebook page to learn more about natural care. Click on "videos" on the left of the home page and watch the series The Truth About Pet Cancer. It will give you a lot of information about natural care and why it is so necessary for our dogs' health. Go to Star-Mar Rescue facebook page to learn more about our organization. Please do some research on natural care and raw feeding and decide whether or not you are wanting to care for Casper in this manner before requesting an application.
If you feel that your lifestyle and environment meet with Casper's needs, contact Martha at learymjri@aol.com or call 330-466-3667 or 330-262-0515 for an application or more information. Petfinder's link for information is not reliable. Casper's adoption will require an approved application and a home visit, with adoption completed at his foster home in Columbus, OH. Casper's adoption fee is $275. We will work to place him within a 2 hour driving distance from his foster home so that we can conduct our own home visit bringing Casper with us.
