My story

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

Hi there… my name is Little Man, and I’m a smaller hound mix with a big heart tucked into my 30-pound body. I’m a bit shy and nervous, especially around men, so I like to take my time getting to know new people. But once I choose you? Oh boy — I hope you’re ready for lots of couch snuggles and endless kisses (because yes, I will remind you how much I love them!).

I may be little, but I pack a whole lot of personality into my size. I have the softest, silkiest black coat and some very expressive eyebrows that tell you exactly how I’m feeling at all times. Most of the time, I’m thinking about… you guessed it… snuggling on the couch.

Walks are still pretty scary for me right now, and I don’t like going much past the mailbox. I am getting braver every day, though! Because of this, a fenced-in yard is a must so I can feel safe while I explore at my own pace.

I’m a very good boy in my crate and do great during the day and all night. I’d also really love to have another dog in the house — I enjoy playing with my two current doggy housemates and feel much more confident when I have a furry friend around, especially when my humans are at work.

If you’re patient, gentle, and looking for a loyal little shadow who lives for snuggles, I might just be your guy. I promise — once I love you, I love you with my whole heart

The adoption fee of $400 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.
