My story

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

Hey there! I’m Turtle, and I come fully equipped with floppy ears, tiny paws, and enough sweetness to melt your heart. I was born in the first few days of September of this year
I’m a 10-pound beagle mix looking for my forever family. Don’t worry—I’m much less messy than my dessert nickname… probably.

 

My foster family loves to brag about me and they’ve outlined some of my star qualities:

I’m the friendly, playful sidekick you’ve been wishing for. Whether it’s chasing toys, pouncing on crinkly things, or just wiggling my whole body because I’m excited to see you, I’m always ready to have fun. 

Speaking of fun, I thrive with my two sisters — I love chase games, wrestling, and snuggling up at nap time. I’d love to join your dog pack, though I’m just as happy to be your one and only.

 

Sleeping Beauty. Even though I love to play, I’m super quiet in my pen. The humans say that means I’ll probably learn crate training quickly. I’m smart like that. (And cute. Very cute.)

 

Potty training in progress! I’m a baby, but I’m trying really hard to figure out where everything goes. With some routine and encouragement, I’ll get it down in no time!

 

Gentle treat taker. I’m a soft-mouthed, sweet-natured pup who takes treats so politely that even tiny humans feel safe giving them to me. I love gentle pats, wiggly play, and following kids around like they’re my built-in adventure buddies.

 

Big, Soft Puppy Gaze. I give the sweetest, most adoring eye contact—especially when I’m snuggled up. It’s like I’m memorizing your face so I can adore you better.

 

 

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, playful pup to grow up by your side, I think we’re meant to be.

Chocolate kisses and caramel wishes,
Turtle

 

If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet!

The adoption fee of $500 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Go meet their pets

We are not a shelter. We are a group of pet lovers and advocates who are committed to targeted rescue. Starfish Animal Rescue is a licensed rescue that is run by an all volunteer staff.
Once we rescue a dog or cat, it is placed in one of our foster homes until we are able to find it a suitable home. We are happy to set up an appointment to meet our pets once we receive and review your completed application.

We do our best to process applications quickly but please understand that we are a foster based rescue and that our volunteers work jobs; many are full time. Sending in a completed application is the best way to facilitate this process. You can go on our website www.starfishanimalrescue.com and download an application
Once your application is reviewed, we will put you in contact with the dog's foster family to set up a time to meet the pet of your choice!
Thank you for supporting our rescue and what we are trying to accomplish in southeastern Kentucky.
