My story

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

Why wait for the gentle twinkling of the stars at night when you could be enchanted 24/7 with Starlight herself? She would relish the opportunity to brighten your life and would not disappoint.

Starlight was adopted as a puppy and then found a few years later as a stray. Needless to say, she was a little nervous about things at first but has grown in confidence with the love and care from all her staff and volunteer friends at APA.

And what’s not to love? This house-trained little girl has terrific leash manners, gets along with other dogs when given a slow introduction, and is so smart she makes training look like child’s play. She’s already a pro at sit, down, place, wait/stay, and recall. She loves to play fetch, go on long walks, explore all possible scents in the yard, entertain herself with toys, and run through an agility course. Nothing, however, compares to curling up next to her person and feeling the comfort, love, and security she’s been waiting for. If you’re ready to brighten your life, come meet Starlight today.
