My story

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

Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I`d love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me!

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I am enrolled in LIFT University. This is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.
- I am a graduate of Waifs with Wisdom. In this program, I learned basic commands and leash walking skills.
- I was house-trained and crate-trained in my foster home.
- I successfully lived around cats and farm animals in my foster home.
- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information.

My home needs are:
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older.
- No apartments or shared living spaces for me, please.
- A fenced yard is a must for me! I need a secure area to run around and release my energy.
- I must go to a home that already has another confident and playful dog to show me the ropes.
- I feel more comfortable around new people when I have a doggie friend to build my confidence. Wayside requires you to bring your dog with you when you come to meet me.

Special Request from Star: For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.

Hi there, I’m Star! I’m affectionate, silly, playful, and so much fun! I might be just a little cautious and shy until I get to know you, but once you’re the person who I trust and feel safe with, I will love you deeply with everything I’ve got. I’ll be your constant companion and loyal friend. I’ve been through a lot of change and instability in my life, but I try my best not to let that get me down. Once we’re family, I hope that you’ll wonder what you ever did without me in your life. Yep, I’m that special. And I can’t wait to be your dog. That’s all I’ve ever wanted…to belong and to be loved.

I’m an adorable, 2-year-old, 49-pound Black Lab mix, with expressive ears, gentle eyes, the sweetest smile, and a lovely, delightful personality. I’m already housebroken and crate trained, and I even know how to use a dog door. How about that? I came to Wayside when my previous owner could no
