Story
STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  Hi! My name is Chino! I was used to being an indoor dog, and then my owners living situation changed and I was being moved to outdoors on a chain. Fortunately I was rescued and now Im looking for my forever home! I love everyone I meet, dog friendly, potty trained and can't wait to meet my new family. If you are interested in meeting me, please fill out an app or email info@savingtailsanimalrescue.org. My adoption fee has been sponsored, and I will come with some food, leash, collar, treats toy and other goodies!   All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped. AGE DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, most of the orphaned animals that come into our rescue looking for homes don’t bring birth certificates. Sometimes we know our pets’ ages. Sometimes we don’t. So we make our best guess based on the condition of their teeth and the veterinarians best guess.   BREED DISCLAIMER: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label . Microchips: For the safety of our dogs and peace of mind of our fosters and adopters, STAR microchips all dogs prior to adoption with Petlink Microchips. Please understand that all dogs MUST still wear a collar with ID tags (which include your current information) AT ALL TIMES. Please remember, our foster dogs are extremely important to us-- we will always take any of our dogs back, if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog. Never surrender him/her to a shelter!

Story
STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  Hi! I was born 3/2/26 and I’m one of a litter of 11 puppies! Our sweet momma took such good care of us. We are guessed to be a mix of Pit Bull and Catahoula Leopard Dog, which explains all of our fun colors and unique patterns! I’m currently looking for my forever home and my foster mom says I’m extra special because she thinks I may be deaf. But she also says that doesn’t make me any less amazing — it just means I experience the world a little differently, and someone out there is still going to love me exactly as I am. I’m a very happy, playful girl who loves everyone I meet! I get along great with cats, kids, and other dogs. I’m outgoing, confident, and full of personality — honestly, you probably wouldn’t even know there’s anything different about me! My adoption fee includes: • Age-appropriate vetting and vaccines • Flea/tick/heartworm prevention • Dewormings since 2 weeks old • Starter food • Collar & leash • Treats and a toy If you have questions about me, please email heather@savingtailsanimalrescue.org All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped.

If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  ReRe is READY to find her forever home! ✨ ReRe has officially completed all of her vetting and is now spayed, fully vetted, and ready for adoption! At about 1.5 years old and 60 pounds, she is truly 60 pounds of pure love. ❤️ For the last several weeks, ReRe has been getting a taste of the good life—sleeping on comfy beds, playing with toys, making friends, and learning what it means to be part of a family. Now she's ready to make that lifestyle permanent. Her foster mama describes her as the perfect mix of independence, affection, and playfulness. ReRe can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she trusts you, she'll reward you with endless loyalty and love. Dog-friendly with proper, slow introductions Cat-friendly Spayed and fully vetted Approximately 1.5 years old 60 lbs Adoption fee sponsored! Other dogs seem to bring out her fun, spunky side, and watching her confidence grow has been so rewarding. All she needs now is a family of her own. Could you be the one to give ReRe the forever home she's always deserved? Please share this post-even if you're not looking to adopt. Sharing is one of the biggest ways you can help us save lives and help dogs like ReRe find their people. ❤️ Please fill our an adoption application ASAP if you're interested in meeting her.

STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  ✨ Meet Cream Soda — The Happiest Little Pittie Around ✨ Hi! I’m Cream Soda, a petite pitty with a BIG smile and an even bigger heart. I may be missing an ear (adds character, if you ask me), but I didn’t lose an ounce of joy — I’m truly one of the happiest, most loving little girls you’ll ever meet. I adore everyone. Kids, adults, tall people, tiny people — if you have hands for pets, I’m in. I’m gentle, affectionate, and love being close to my people. Cuddling is one of my favorite hobbies, right up there with snack time. Speaking of snacks… YES PLEASE. I absolutely love treats, take them very nicely, and am always polite and eager. Snack time is serious business, but I handle it like a lady. Cream Soda didn’t get her Christmas wish this year, but maybe she’s meant for something even better… a New Year’s resolution family? One who’s ready to spoil her, snuggle her, and give her the forever home she so deeply deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, joyful companion who will love you with her whole heart — Cream Soda is waiting. Make 2026 the year Cream Soda finally gets her happily ever after. Apply to adopt and meet this little ray of sunshine. All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped.
