Story
Hi, I’m Biggie! They say I’m about 3 ish weeks old, a little over 5 pounds, and probably part Chihuahua, Papillon, and maybe Dachshund, who knows really?! I might seem a little shy at first, but once I trust you, I’ll follow you everywhere - yep, I’m that kind of loyal. Please keep in mind that I’m still a baby that didn’t have the best start in life, you just need to give me a chance to trust. Treats definitely help!  I’m pretty smart if I do say so myself, and every day I’m getting braver and more curious about this big world.  My foster mom says I’m a good listener and not yappy like some other little guys tend to be.  It would be fine if I had you all to myself but I’m good hanging out with other dogs and even get along with those mysterious creatures called cats. My cat foster brother is my favorite to play with! I hear I’m doing pretty good with my potty training and I’m doing well in my crate too! I’ve only met kids older than 8 that are respectful of my space and we got along great!   If you’re looking for a tiny best friend who will be your loyal shadow with a big heart (and ears!), I think we should meet. Biggie should be placed into a home with kids 10 or older only 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 $550 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.

Story
Say hello to Dixie, a sweet 7-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a tail that wags just for you! At just 8 lbs, she's the perfect lap-size companion who's happiest when she's by your side – whether you're working, relaxing, or heading to bed. Dixie is a true people-lover and thrives on companionship. She'll follow you from room to room like your own tiny shadow. Because of her strong desire to always be close, she'd do best in a home where her people are around most of the time. She’s not a fan of leash walks, so she’ll need a securely fenced yard to safely enjoy her outdoor time. A quieter single-family home is ideal for this dainty girl, as she’s not well-suited to apartment living. Dixie would be happiest in a calm household with older children (8+) who understand how to be gentle with a small dog. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, companion who just wants to be near her person, Dixie might be your perfect match. Come meet her – she’s ready to love you forever!   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 $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.

Story
Meet Kiwi, our precious senior chihuahua mix. Kiwi is 8 years old and weighs just 9lbs. She is shy at first, but once she knows you, she just wants to be with you. She will follow staff around and climb into their lap if they sit on the floor. Kiwi can often be found curled up underneath her blanket taking a nice nap. Kiwi would love a cozy and quiet retirement home to call her own! She is very content curled up in a lap or laying right beside you. Kiwi is looking for a home without other dogs or cats.Kiwi has a grade 4 heart murmur and an enlarged heart. Our vet recommended we follow up with a cardiac ultrasound, which showed Kiwi has mild heart failure. They prescribed her Enalapril and Vetmedin, which Kiwi happily takes in a pill pocket or cheese. She also had a dental with some teeth pulled so she is on a wet food diet.

Story
Meet Scout, an adorable 20lb Terrier/Chi/Cattle Dog type mix who came from local animal control as an unclaimed stray. He is a very sweet boy who loves to be with people and receive attention. He knows sit and paw, and will happily offer those commands whenever you would like, sometimes even when you are not asking for them. He did get along with some small dogs at animal control, but has not been a fan of other dogs since arriving at the shelter. Scout still has some energy and is working on leash manners. He can tend to grab the leash to try to tug or be a little mouthy when he gets excited. Scout can be nervous with fast hands so would do best with older children/teenagers.
