My story

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

Caprice is a sweet lovable pup. How can you resist that face and floppy ears that tell you she is ready to have a forever home. She is a terrier mix with a short black and white coat. She is around 12 months old and currently weighs about 37 pounds. When fully grown she is expected to be within the medium range (25-50 pounds).

Terrier mixes are known to be smart, loving, and confident. They can be active and like to run around to burn off energy. Add to that the traits of playfulness and good-naturedness and you have an appealing mix.

She enjoys the company of other dogs during play time and would be a great addition to a family with a canine resident. Caprice does well with children but does not find feline companionship to her liking so she will need a home without a feline resident. Caprice has lots of potential, and since she is smart and friendly, she can grow to be a wonderful companion in the right home.

Caprice will do will with an average active family since she is a medium energy girl. She is in the process of learning her leash and crate training. She is showing lots of improvement and is well on her way to being fully trained. She is also doing very well with her leash training and making great progress. Using the right guidance with consistency and patience, will help her with the skills she needs to master. Cheerful praise and lots of treats will go a long way in helping her master each skill. She has hit the ball out of the park as she has mastered her house training. Although Caprice is house trained, it is important to remember that potty accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment.

This girl is all about her spunk and charisma. Caprice enjoys play sessions with other dogs, chewing her bone and snuggling on the sofa. She also has impressive physical skills with her being able to easily jump over a 4-foot fence. She just might be a good candidate for agility training to showcase her talent. In any case, her forever family will need to make sure this girl is contained in an outdoor space with a fence high enough that she will not jump over it. Caprice will enjoy time outside to run around, pick up scents here and there and have opportunities to mingle and play with other dogs.

She will benefit from regular exercise and daily walks will also be beneficial to her family since it offers a great opportunity for bonding. Mix that up with ample socialization and continued training and you will have a happy and content canine companion in Caprice. Her time to shine is now and in the presence of her forever family. Take a chance and invite Caprice into your life and home.

The adoption fee for Caprice is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters are asked to complete an application to begin the adoption process. This valuable document helps us insure that we are finding the perfect match for both the dog and the family members. If your application looks like a good fit, you will be contacted by phone for an interview. This is an opportunity to learn more about the home life you offer and the known temperament and energy level of the dog that is available for adoption. In some cases we may find that a different adoptable dog may be more suitable for your lifestyle and would be brought to your attention. Next, you will speak with the previous foster families to learn more about the day to day needs and behavior of the dog as an extra measure to find the perfect match. In addition, your veterinarian will be contacted to confirm your dedication to the health and well being of your previous or current pets.
Finally DSR reserves the right to do a home inspection prior to the adoption approval.
While this may seem like a lengthy process it actually may only take a week or two. As a result you should only begin the adoption process when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home.
DSR makes every effort to insure our dogs are healthy, happy, and well cared for by our loving volunteers as they wait for their forever homes. All dogs are up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and receive a health certificate before being transported. Our adoption fee is $450 and every penny goes towards the rescue of dogs in need.

DSR's facility is located in Bloomfield, CT and is available by appointment only. We host adoption events every other week in the greater Hartford area. These are wonderful opportunities to meet all of our amazing adoptable dogs. Check out our Facebook page for the most up to date listing of upcoming events. Otherwise, dogs can be seen by appointment after completing the DSR application. Arrangements are made by the screening volunteer and coordinated with the foster family.

More about this rescue

Dog Star Rescue is a grass-roots effort started by a group of dog lovers with experience in the rescue world. The name Dog Star comes from the common name for the star Sirius, reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The symbolism of the star as a guide to a safe passage is what we strive to do for our adoptable dogs as we find them a new life with a loving family.
We work closely with shelters in the South as well as the New England states to save the lives of loving and loyal dogs who have lost their way and find themselves on death row. Our volunteers get these dogs the medical and emotional care they need so they can transition into a loving forever home. All of our amazing members are unpaid volunteers with a passion for helping dogs. They spend significant time each week helping guide dogs to a wonderful new life. If you ask our volunteers, they'll tell you they do it for a wide variety of reasons, including personal satisfaction in helping address a nation wide problem, their love of dogs, and a desire to have fun socializing with like-minded people. DSR is always looking for new volunteers to join our group so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of please contact us.
