Story
Meet Lily — a 2-year-old Terrier mix with a heart full of sweetness and a bright future ahead! When Lily first arrived at her foster home, everything was new and a little overwhelming. She preferred the comfort of her crate and needed some encouragement to feel safe. With gentle patience, hand-fed meals, cozy carries to the yard, and lots of soft ear rubs, Lily slowly began to trust. Before long she was eating, drinking, and exploring on her own — and once she started going outside regularly, she hasn’t had a single accident in the house. Leashes were also a brand-new concept for her, but a few tasty chicken treats and lots of practice worked wonders! Now she enjoys going out on a long lead in the yard or taking relaxed walks around the neighborhood like a little pro. Just two weeks after settling in, Lily surprised everyone by giving birth to five beautiful puppies. She was a wonderful, devoted mama, but with her pups growing big and independent, Lily is finally ready for a life that’s all her own. Today, Lily is blossoming into a fun, affectionate, silly young dog. She loves: Playing with soft toys and chew toys Zooming around the house Wrestling and running with her foster brother Going for walks Sneaking off with the occasional sock (her guilty pleasure!) She knows how to sit for treats and sits patiently to have her harness put on. During the day she curls up next to her foster mom for naps, and at night she snoozes soundly on a comfy chair in her cozy gated room. Her breed mix is a mystery, though a dog-ID app suggested she resembles a Danish-Swedish Farmdog. Whatever she is, she’s adorable — especially those velvety ears that perk up like Baby Yoda when something interesting catches her attention. If you’re looking for a small, gentle, intelligent, and incredibly sweet companion, Lily just might be your girl. She’s ready for love, adventure, and a forever family who will help her continue to shine. Could Lily be your new best friend?   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  .

His ideal family will: Be home most of the day to help him with training, potty breaks, and all the affection he craves Have children 8 or older only, simply because he’s so little and fragile Enjoy an active, playful puppy who loves being part of the action Marshall will thrive with a family who can help him grow into a confident, well-loved boy while keeping him snug, supervised, and cherished.

Meet Toby — the sweetest little guy with a big future ahead of him! Born on 10/26, Toby is a Chihuahua–Terrier mix and weighed in at 3 lbs 14 oz this morning. He may be tiny, but he’s already showing off a wonderful, easygoing personality. Toby is the most laid-back of his siblings. He’ll happily join in on a spirited tug-of-war match, but he’s equally content snuggling up for a Netflix crime documentary marathon. He especially loves warmth and will nestle right into your neck like it’s his favorite place in the world. His tiny growls are starting to emerge, and while he thinks they’re tough, they’re really just adorable as he finds his little voice.  Toby is ready to bring sweetness, snuggles, and plenty of charm to his forever family.

Story
Meet Benny — the little lovebug everyone falls for the moment they meet him! Born on 10/26, Benny is a Chihuahua–Terrier mix who weighed in at 3 lbs 14 oz this morning. His beautiful brown-and-white coat and big, soulful brown eyes make him a total heart-stealer. Benny is the softest spirit of the trio. When he’s awake, he’s playful and curious, but he’s also the king of cozy naps. His favorite place to sleep? Snuggled right up against anyone — humans, adult dogs, siblings… he’s not picky as long as he’s wrapped in warmth. He melts into your arms, drifts off on your lap, and happily snoozes tucked under a furry friend. He’s truly a snuggle bug through and through — a little sweetheart who just wants to be close. If you’re looking for a gentle, cuddly companion who will shower your home with sweetness (and naps!), Benny might be the perfect match for you.

Story
My name is Titan but my foster dad calls me “Brutus”! I was born around 9/20/25 and I weigh around 3 pounds at 8 weeks old, a full pound more than my siblings! We don’t know what breed I am or if I will shed or not. The vet thinks I’ll be around 15-20 pounds full grown, but that’s not a guarantee!  I have 2 siblings, and I  am the leader of the pack! I am confident but I LOVE to cuddle up on my foster dad when I’m ready to nap. As you can see by my photos, I find his head to be very comfortable!    Due to my very petite size, I need to go to a home with no children or children 13 and up.

Story
Meet Bear (aka Brochacho)!  This adorable 2-year-old, 8-lb terrier/chihuahua mix is as sweet and loving as they come! Bear is a total people pup — he wants nothing more than to be where his humans are. Whether that means curling up in your lap for snuggles or napping in a cozy bed nearby while you cook, Bear just wants to be part of the family. He’s house-trained and goes potty outside like a champ. At night, he sleeps peacefully in his crate without a peep. Bear does wear a belly band to discourage marking, but after three weeks in his foster home, he’s made fantastic progress and rarely even tries. This happy little guy is full of love and joy, always ready with tail wags and affection. Bear would be the perfect addition to almost any home — one that’s ready to give him the love and companionship he so happily gives in retur 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  .
