My story

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

If there was a girl to put on social media for her unique good looks, it would be Lilah. She comes into rescue looking for a family that will welcome her into the fold. She is a young gal at a year and a half old and is a mixed breed. Her unique markings will have spectators, friends and anyone in between taking out their cameras to get a picture. We cannot attest to her breed, but we can attest to her charm. Lilah weighs around 56 pounds which puts her on the far end of the medium size range. She may gain a few more pounds or stay around where she is at now.

Lilah is a girl who relishes time with other dogs. When opportunity is knocking, Lilah joins right in with interactive play. She is timid with new people and especially young children. With that in mind, she would be best suited to a home with children over 12 years of age or no children in the home. Lilah will also need to go into a cat free home. She has a medium energy level and will thrive with regular exercise. Walk this girl around the neighborhood and she will be the center of attention as well as the talk of the town.

Lilah is scoring lots of high points with her accomplishments. She is already house, crate and leash trained. She knows that her family will be proud of her. Although Lilah is housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment.

Days turn into months and months turn into years. Each day will bring the love of Lilah straight from her heart to yours. Boundless love, affection and snuggles are what the future holds when you bring Lilah into your family.

The adoption fee for Lilah is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters are asked to complete an application to begin the adoption process. This valuable document helps us insure that we are finding the perfect match for both the dog and the family members. If your application looks like a good fit, you will be contacted by phone for an interview. This is an opportunity to learn more about the home life you offer and the known temperament and energy level of the dog that is available for adoption. In some cases we may find that a different adoptable dog may be more suitable for your lifestyle and would be brought to your attention. Next, you will speak with the previous foster families to learn more about the day to day needs and behavior of the dog as an extra measure to find the perfect match. In addition, your veterinarian will be contacted to confirm your dedication to the health and well being of your previous or current pets.
Finally DSR reserves the right to do a home inspection prior to the adoption approval.
While this may seem like a lengthy process it actually may only take a week or two. As a result you should only begin the adoption process when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home.
DSR makes every effort to insure our dogs are healthy, happy, and well cared for by our loving volunteers as they wait for their forever homes. All dogs are up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and receive a health certificate before being transported. Our adoption fee is $450 and every penny goes towards the rescue of dogs in need.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

DSR's facility is located in Bloomfield, CT and is available by appointment only. We host adoption events every other week in the greater Hartford area. These are wonderful opportunities to meet all of our amazing adoptable dogs. Check out our Facebook page for the most up to date listing of upcoming events. Otherwise, dogs can be seen by appointment after completing the DSR application. Arrangements are made by the screening volunteer and coordinated with the foster family.

More about this rescue

Dog Star Rescue is a grass-roots effort started by a group of dog lovers with experience in the rescue world. The name Dog Star comes from the common name for the star Sirius, reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The symbolism of the star as a guide to a safe passage is what we strive to do for our adoptable dogs as we find them a new life with a loving family.
We work closely with shelters in the South as well as the New England states to save the lives of loving and loyal dogs who have lost their way and find themselves on death row. Our volunteers get these dogs the medical and emotional care they need so they can transition into a loving forever home. All of our amazing members are unpaid volunteers with a passion for helping dogs. They spend significant time each week helping guide dogs to a wonderful new life. If you ask our volunteers, they'll tell you they do it for a wide variety of reasons, including personal satisfaction in helping address a nation wide problem, their love of dogs, and a desire to have fun socializing with like-minded people. DSR is always looking for new volunteers to join our group so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of please contact us.
