My story

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


Star is a 12 year old retired PTSD service dog. He was 57 pounds at his last vet visit. He has arthritis. I need to rehome him due to an upcoming divorce. He is given gabapentin for pain ($9.50 per month).

He loves children, laying in sun spots, and watching over the neighborhood from the front yard. He does not like baths. He shakes. He does not like thunderstorms. He shakes, whines a little, and looks at you pleading to make it stop. If he barks once every six months, that is a lot. If you take a turn in the car roughly, he comments on it with a moan. (grin) You are only in danger of being licked and leaned on.

He has worked with many trainers who describe him as a marshmallow. When he went to doggie daycare, he was put with small dogs. The larger dogs were intimidating him in that setting. We have had larger dogs over for play dates and he has done fine.
