My story

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

Star is playful, affectionate, intelligent, and energetic. He has expressive eyes and a sweetly mischievous disposition. He is always looking to learn or play, and he loves to work on new skills and tricks -- and to show them off! He melts into cuddles and belly rubs. He may look regal when running or bounding along -- but as soon as you get to know him his playful and silly spirit, and his eagerness to please, shine through and are what really define his personality. He has a quizzical face tilt to rival all others! Star's best day would include an opportunity for one or two long walks or runs, a chance to practice some of his new tricks, and lots of snuggles and belly rubs to let him know what a good boy he is!

Star will thrive in a place where he can be a single pet or where there is a very established dog to help show him the ropes. As a very intelligent "working dog" Star needs to have a job, and training/learning is a great challenge to stimulate him. Star has been going to weekly training classes-and he is a STAR.

HISTORY
Star was adopted as a puppy from IAR but his owner passed away.

PHYSICAL
Star is very graceful and the first thing you notice about him is his gorgeous marking and bright eyes.

HEALTH
Star is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.

Adoption Process

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
