My story

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

Bob is a 5-year-old mountain cur mix with a gentle soul and a big heart—especially when it comes to other dogs. He truly thrives with canine companionship and will do best in a home with at least one resident dog to help him feel confident and complete.

Bob’s journey to safety is one that tugs at the heart. He was traveling on a transport van carrying dogs and cats to the safety of an IL rescue during a recent winter storm when the unthinkable happened. The van hit a patch of ice, slid off the road, and was totaled. During the accident, Bob’s crate was tossed and opened. Terrified and disoriented, Bob ran.

For days, dedicated volunteers searched for him through snow and bitter cold, refusing to give up hope. Finally, with patience, kindness, and perseverance, they were able to gently coax Bob back into a crate and bring him to safety. Remarkably, all volunteers and animals involved in the accident escaped unharmed—a true testament to both luck and teamwork.

Today, Bob is warm, safe, and soaking up love in his foster home. He’s learning that the world can be kind and that good things—like soft beds, full bellies, and friendly dogs—are here to stay. Bob loves other dogs and takes comfort in their presence, making him an ideal companion for a multi-dog household.

Bob is now ready for the final chapter of his journey: a forever home where he’ll never have to be scared or alone again. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a resilient spirit and a heart full of gratitude, Bob may be the one you’ve been waiting for

 

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 $350 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.
