My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***Adoptable * Foster Needed***

Starla, Female, 3yrs, Terrier mix, 40lbs

Starla is also in need of an experienced Foster. If you can foster, let us know by submitting a foster application through our website.

Starla is a shy, sensitive girl, working on confidence building. She had been returned to us after a year and half, due to adaptability issues in the home. Unfortunately though we tried multiple times to assist, the adopters were not honest about the catalyst for much of the issues. There were apparently domestic issues in the home, to what extent we are unsure. We however, witnessed extreme yelling and combative behavior. This was predominately displayed by the husband. Due to this she never took to the husband and was fearful of him. Ultimately after witnessing this behavior, we did not and could not leave her there another day.

Starla is unsure of herself, though she wants to make friends. She has not displayed that she has any distinct issues with men, after be taken from the home. She is however head shy.

Starla needs a quite home and though she is good with children, she would do best without any young kids in the home.

She does love to run and enjoys her toys. With proper time and understanding, we believe she will blossom in to a very loyal and loving companion.

She is crate trained and has good house manners. With proper introductions, she has done well with other dogs.

Starla needs an experienced adopter, that is local to the Saint Louis, MO metro area.

Starla's adoption fee is $250, she is up to date and fully vetted.

Interested adopters need to submit an adoption application through our website, steppingstonebully.org to be considered.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

• All of our dogs are in separate foster homes; therefore it is not possible to come visit them all at once.
• You must be 21 years of age to adopt
• An adoption application must first be completed on our website before we will contact you about the possible adoption of any dog. If the adoption application is not completed in its entirety it will not be approved and no contact will be made.
• All general questions will be responded to via email
• Please understand that all our representatives are volunteers and may not be able to get in touch with you immediately. Please allow up to five days for us to get in contact with you. Emails and phone calls will only slow down the adoption process. To speed up the adoption process please contact your Veterinarian and give them permission to release information to us.
o All dogs and cats in the home must be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations and have annual visits at their Veterinarian.

• After initial approval of your application a representative will contact you for a phone interview.
• After the phone interview we will schedule a home visit. Please note it is not always possible to bring the dog with on a home visit.
o A home visit is required of all adoptions.
o During the home visit all people residing at the residence must be present.
o You must allow the representative into all areas of the property. This includes all bedrooms, the basement and any outdoor buildings. If there are any areas our representative are not allowed access to the application will be denied.
• After the home visit and application have been approved, we will make an appointment for you to meet the dog you would like to adopt. If all goes well we will then complete the adoption process.
• We DO NOT transport our dogs. Our animals are local to the Saint Louis metro area only adoptions, unless otherwise noted.
o In circumstances that we have to travel more than 50 miles to perform a home visit a fee may be assessed

Everything we do is in the best interest of our dogs; they are our number one priority. There will be no exceptions to our adoption guidelines. We will only adopt a dog to a home that is a good fit for that dog. So please understand we may not approve your application for one dog, but may approve it for another.
We reserve the right to deny any application at any point in the adoption process.

The adoption fees for each dog can vary and is based on the accumulated expenses (Vet bills, shelter fees, pull fees) and a nominal adoption fee to cover our administrative expenses.
