My story

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

As the saying goes, go big or go home! Love comes in all shapes and sizes and with this terrier mix litter, they are going big with love and lots of it. If you are looking for a large canine companion that will be the center of attention and bring lots of happiness, then look no further because your next canine family member is waiting for you. Mammoth is 8 months old and knows that the more love she gives, the more she will receive. Her family will be all that she is looking for and more. She is currently around 45 pounds so she will certainly be getting bigger, and it is estimated that she will be a large size gal likely around 60-70 pounds. Of course, time will be the true indicated of how big she will get, and, in the meantime, her forever family will have the pleasure of watching her grow up.

Mammoth is a typical pup with a medium amount of energy to play, explore and investigate the world around her but also has a lower energy level to hang out and be a spectator of the world around her. She will benefit from regular exercise and lots of social interaction. She is great with other dogs and children so playmates would be a good fit for her. With her gentle nature, she does well with children of all ages. She has not had the opportunity to be introduced to a feline companion so we do not know if she would be willingly accepting of a feline at this time.

We do not know what life was like prior to Mammoth coming into rescue. It can be a scary world for a young pup and Mammoth is very much on the shy side when it comes to new interactions and environments. She is improving and having a confident dog by her side does boost her confidence. She will need time and patience from her family to allow her to bloom into the confident dog we know she can be. It is all about baby steps but when she is comfortable with a person, she shows lots of affection and lots of cuddling.

This girl has aced her training as she is house, and crate trained. Her leash training is a work in progress, but she knows that she will be able to master the skill with the encouragement and commitment of her family to back her up. Although Mammoth is house trained, it is important to remember that potty accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment.

As with all puppies, Mammoth is full of curiosity and wonderment, and is ready to grow from adorable puppy to amazing dog with the right guidance and patience. She will need a home with someone who has the time, desire and energy to train and socialize her so that she can become the perfect lifelong companion.

Mammoth knows that life is what you make of it, and she is focused on her incredibly good fortune to be able to have an opportunity to make her dreams come true. Her loving and fantastic personality will win over the hearts of many but her forever family will have the privilege of sharing her love each and every day.

The adoption fee for Mammoth 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.

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.
