My story

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

Perseverance is the word to describe Beau. He is a 4-year-old Husky and Collie mix. He is a large size dog at 62 pounds. His story began on a rough note, but he is as resilient as he is handsome. Beau came to us after being found on a trail in the woods, seriously neglected, with no hair on his back or neck. He was wandering alone when he bravely followed a group of horseback riders home. No one claimed him but he is now safe and cared for and making improvements every day.

Beau is blossoming and showing more confidence and curiosity now that he has found a safe place to lay his head. His coat is coming back and making excellent progress, with just a small section on his back that still needs to grow in. With a little TLC, he will back to his stunning self in no time.

Beau gets along well with other dogs and kids but his relationship with cats is unknown at this time. With a bit of an unknown past, Beau will likely need a little time to decompress and is looking for a family that can show him consistency, kindness, and time. Beau is still mastering his skills with leash training in progress but is super proud of having learned his house and crate training. Although Beau is housetrained, it is important to remember that there can be accidents has he adjusts to a new home environment.

Beau is looking for a patient and loving home that will continue to help him heal and thrive. If you are looking for the comeback story of the year and a pup that has a whole lot of love to give, Beau just might be your guy!

* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.

The adoption fee for Beau 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.

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.
