Meet Starling – A Gentle Spirit Searching for Home, with Her Best Friend by Her Side
With her soulful brown eyes and tender heart, Starling is the shyer half of a deeply bonded husky pair. She came into our care on 4/16 alongside Silver, and while life at the shelter has been overwhelming, the one constant has been their love for one another.
These two likely spent their lives as outdoor yard dogs, and the transition to indoor life and human affection is still new—but Starling is learning, slowly and sweetly, that love is safe. She finds courage in Silver’s calm leadership, taking cues from her “big sister” as she explores new people and environments. In return, Starling offers a deep, loyal affection to those who earn her trust.
In their small shelter kennel, you’ll find them curled together like puzzle pieces—grooming one another, cuddling for comfort, and waiting patiently for a home that won’t separate them.
Starling is looking for:
• A patient, understanding adopter who can give her time and space to bloom
• A calm, secure home where she and Silver can continue to gain confidence together
• A forever family committed to keeping this inseparable pair together
Starling may be shy, but her heart is wide open. With Silver by her side and a loving home to welcome them, these two will make the most rewarding companions.
