My story

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

Meet Estrella — Our Shining Star Looking for a Foster or Adopter!

Estrella (Spanish for star) is a sweet, gentle 2-year-old girl in Virginia Beach who’s ready to leave her board-and-train program and finally settle into a loving home.

✨ About Estrella:

• 45 lbs, spayed, 4DX negative and on prevention 

• Great with dogs and cats

• Shy at first and a bit fearful of men, but warms up beautifully with patience

• Spent the last 2 months building confidence and social skills in a board and train program, her foster/adopter can get all the insights into her training and hopefully help her continue moving forward.

Left tied to a rescue gate as a puppy, Estrella has come such a long way and deserves a place to feel safe and loved. She’s not a “just anyone” dog — she needs someone kind and patient — but she will reward you with lifelong loyalty and affection.

We are urgently seeking a foster home in Virginia Beach help this girl acclimate back into a home.

If you can help this beautiful girl take her next step, we’d be so grateful.
