Story
Meet Whiskey, a male chihuahua pup who is around 6 months old and weighs about 7 lbs. He is being fostered with his sister Daisy but is looking for his very own forever family. Whiskey & Daisy are super cute puppies with lots of energy and very needy with people. They love their humans. They want to be as close to you as possible and prefer to be in the same room as you. They will cry if left unattended or try their best to get to you. They are great with dogs and cats. They love to play with balls, chew on bones and chase each other around the yard. They still need help with using the pee pads and going outside and they hate collars and leashes so we do need to have their new families have a fenced in. yard.  *They will not be adopted together, please apply for only one* Kids and visiting grandkids 10 or older only please  If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

Story
Hi there my name is Huey and I am a Chihuahua/Schnauzer/Terrier mix about 7 years old. I have been in the rescue for quite some time as it takes me a little time to trust people. I was abused in my past so on my initial meet and greets with new people I am unsure and sudden movements make me scared. Once I get to know you and trust you you can't get rid of me. Once we are BFFs, I am the most loyal, fun, sassy and most of all cuddly friend. I am looking for my forever home with somebody who is either a stay at home, work from home, or retired as I like to be with my people as much as possible. I am completely up to date on my vetting which includes neutered, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, bordetella, negative fecal, negative heartworm, and microchipped. If interested in meeting me please go to the rescue's website www.atailof4paws.org and fill out the application. Once completed email or scan to rescue@atailof4paws.org

Story
Meet Mercutio (pronounced Mer-Cue-She-O)! He is a vibrant and active ~12 year old boy who is looking for his forever home. He is happy to cuddle up on the couch, but also loves romping in the fenced yard. He gets along with other dogs, kids, and cats- but he does occasionally try to chase the cat. He can get protective of his people and that is when his chihuahua traits can some out- such as barking or growling at strangers on walks, He is crate trained and does great with potty training. He loves a good game of fetch with a squeaky toy. He is looking for a dog savvy home that is familiar with the protective nature of chihuahuas. He really is a love bug. He did have a mast cell tumor that was removed from his tail, but margins were good and it was low grade, so chances of reoccurrence are low, but it will need to be monitored. He also got a full dental cleaning. Mercutio's adoption donation of $300 helps cover the cost of his veterinary care. Application, reference checks, and home visit required. Adopters must live 1.5 hours driving distance from Romeoville, IL. For more information on adopting, please email us at info@perfectpooches.org. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested (age appropriate), fecal tested and/or dewormed, and microchipped.

Story
We are a Veteran family and rescued Flash when he was 10 years old. He’d just had his teeth removed and had his tongue hanging out just a bit. Which is kinda cute. He also was a nervous dog at first but has gotten so much better. Flash is a cuddly couch potato. He doesn’t bark much and just likes a good routine. Fun to carry around with you. We love Flash but just can’t keep him due to health issues and changes in schedule. We just want him to have a good home.

Story
People often ask us what kind of dog Milo is, and we could try to guess what breeds he is (your guess is as good as ours), but we’d rather just tell you about his personality. Because he has a pretty great one! Milo is above all things, a lapdog. If there is a lap to be cuddled, he is there to curl up on it, and soak up all the love. And he isn’t picky. Be it his forever family that he is bonded to, or a friend visiting for dinner. Milo doesn’t discriminate. If you are a willing participant, he’s happy to share his snuggles with you! Milo doesn’t mind meeting new people, and engages them with happy tail wags both inside and outside the home. How dog friendly he is is a bit of an unknown as his foster home doesn’t have other pets, but we would be happy to explore this with purpose if a family that applies has other pets. He does show interest in seeing other dogs on walks, but has not met any of them. Milo very much enjoys his walks, and gets so excited when he realizes it is that time! He’s fairly low energy in the home, and doesn’t need a fenced in yard, but a walk or two a day would be necessary, along with other potty breaks. He doesn’t prefer his crate but will go in it when his foster family leaves the home. As is common with little dogs, Milo is working on his potty training, and shows continuous improvement. As for his eye, Milo likely sustained an injury to it before he was found as a stray. It was removed to prevent further issues down the line, such as glaucoma. It does not impact his daily life, and he is a normal guy! The adoption fee for Milo is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Milo please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt. We will review your responses and be in contact to schedule a meet and greet at a time and place convenient for your family and our team members.

Story
Meet Fifi! This adorable, 14 year old shih tzu ended up with Starfish after her owner passed away. Please don't let her age fool you... this girl is still spirited and spunky! The best part about adopting a senior is that she is already potty trained and loves to lay around! She also gets along well with other dogs. Fifi is completely blind and will require eye medication for the rest of her life. She also has some arthritis, but is doing great on a joint supplement and pain medication. This girl still has so much love to give.  If you are interested in adopting/meeting , 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 $200 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.
