Story
Meet Peanut – Your future sidekick! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling every day, Peanut might just be your perfect match. This cutie’s estimated birthday is 9.24.2023. This active, playful pup absolutely loves being around his people. He’ll happily trot over for pets, lean in for cuddles, and soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. One of his cutest quirks? If you pick him up and gently pet his head, he’ll drift right off to sleep—an instant heart-melter. Peanut is potty trained and does well with both men and women. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would love a playful canine companion to romp around with. He doesn’t seem to mind cats, either. He’s always up for an adventure, whether it’s going on walks or chasing after his favorite ball. As a higher-energy pup, Peanut will thrive with an adopter who is committed to continuing his training and keeping him active and engaged. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of everything you do and can sometimes be a little vocal or have trouble being alone, so he’ll do best in a home where he gets plenty of attention, interaction, and structure. If Peanut had a job, he’d be your enthusiastic assistant—always by your side, ready to “help” with whatever the day brings (or at least supervise it!). Peanut’s ideal home would include an active household with other playful dogs. He’s sweet, silly, and full of love—just waiting for the right person to make him part of their life. Ready to meet Peanut?

Story
Meet Queenie aka Bee  Queenie was born around May 9 and is a 2lb small breed, suspect chi or dachshund mix.   Queenie is pint size but has a big girl personality! She is fearless and loves other dogs and great with cats. In her foster home, she has been with both big and small dogs. She loves to wrestle and bite her foster dog friends in their ankles to get them to chase. She loves chasing her balls and anything crinkly. She is very friendly and smart - learning touch and sit! She is great with potty pads and sleeps quietly at night after a little complaining. She loves to go in yard to play with her leash since she is so tiny. A fence even with small animal fencing won’t yet be safe for Queenie so she will need yard supervision and a leash since she is also quick on her feet.    Queenie likes to grumble when playing and might be chatty as she gets older. She would love another dog to play with in her forever home. Would do best with smaller breed experience. She does still bite and nibble which is age appropriate so does need toys/treats and redirection.    Queenie loves to be held when she isn’t running, wrestling, playing fetch. She also loves curl up in her donut bed to observe the room and nap with her friends. Like every Queen she is selective with her food and the color of her water bowls and prefers a variety of wet food and white bowls only. She also likes her treats to be broken up small. Queenie needs to be supervised and continue her crate training since she still doesn’t understand  appropriate chewing.   Her perfect family would have time home to snuggle and play, another dog to chase or wrestle with and an understanding of small breeds/puppies. Queenie will also need puppy school in a few weeks to keep her on the right course for learning and socializing.    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 be in touch! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the 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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2026, 3:58 pm

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 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. Scout has lots of energy and is working on leash manners. Because of his dog reactivity, he will need some work on walks. A fenced yard would be great for him. He does love to run around and sniff in the grass. He can tend to grab the leash to try to tug or be a little mouthy when he gets excited. He is looking for a home with no children or other pets.

Story
Meet Chewy, a 3-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing about 13 pounds. He was found as a stray and never reclaimed, so now he is looking for a forever home! Chewy is very nervous and was mortified when he first came to us. He has made tremendous strides, though, and now enjoys pets and hanging out with his people. Chewy will need patience as he adjusts and gets to know you and starts to trust. Fast movements can spook him, but we have made lots of progress as far as leashing/unleashing and petting. He loves to go outside with his people to run around, sniff, and play with squeaky plush toys. He does chase the toys when thrown, but he likes to hold them instead of bringing them back. Chewy has met a few similar sized dogs and done okay. He does tend to match the energy of the other dogs, so if the other dog isn’t a fan, neither is Chewy. He has run around outside in a run next to one of our medium dogs and seemed to get excited when she got the zoomies. We are hoping with time and patience in a home, he will blossom! Chewy is looking for a home without children. It would be beneficial for an adopter to have experience with nervous dogs or finicky chihuahuas.Chewy has some allergies that were causing him to have a lot of skin irritation and upset stomach. He is now on a fish-based diet (Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach- Salmon and Rice) as well as Apoquel, once daily, which helped tremendously. He will need to be on this long term.

Story
🌶️🐾 Meet Pepper! 🐾🌶️ Don't let her age fool you. At 7 years old, Pepper is in the sweet spot of life! This adorable Chihuahua mix has left the puppy chaos behind and is ready to be your loyal little sidekick. Pepper is happiest when she's spending time with her people, whether that's joining you for a stroll, relaxing on the couch, or curling up in a cozy lap for an afternoon nap. She has a gentle, loving personality and is looking for a family to shower with affection. If you're searching for a companion who's past the chewing and constant puppy antics but still has plenty of love and life to share, Pepper is your girl. She's ready to trade the uncertainty of rescue life for a forever home filled with warm blankets, belly rubs, and someone to love. Senior? Not even close. Pepper is simply at the perfect age to be your best friend. Could this sweet little lady be the missing piece your family has been waiting for? ❤️🐶 Our adoption process is usually quick but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application on our website, PawsUp4Rescue.org/adopting as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require them to be present at the meeting to ensure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption. If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and will gladly consider your family for another dog.
