Story
Boon is 10 months old and roughly 80 pounds. He is great with kids from baby’s to big kids. However he is not very fond of cats and he can give a rabbit a run for his money. He is house trained and crate trained. Unfortunately he has not spent much time on a leash so he will need some training. He is good with common commands (sit, leave it, down, come) but is young and can get distracted. Unfortunately at this time we are struggling to provide the care and attention he deserves due to unforeseen circumstances.

Story
Meet Sage! Sage is an absolutely beautiful German Shepherd pup, born at the end of May. He’s full of energy, curiosity, and puppy charm! Like most shepherds, Sage is both smart and active—he’ll thrive in a home that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and opportunities to learn. Because he’s still young and growing, we think Sage would do best with a family that has older kids who can keep up with his playful spirit and help with his training. Shepherds are quick learners, and Sage will blossom with consistent guidance, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion to join you on adventures and cuddle up with afterward, Sage may be the perfect match. Could Sage be the newest member of your family?   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  .

Story
Meet Barrett, a handsome 5-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 82 lbs. This loyal boy is fully housebroken and ready to find his forever family. Barrett is the perfect mix of energetic and affectionate—he loves going for walks and spending time outdoors, especially in a securely fenced yard where he can explore and play to his heart’s content. He gets along well with cats and has done fine with other dogs. Because he can sometimes be a little mouthy when excited, Barrett would do best in a home without small children. He’ll thrive with an experienced owner who enjoys staying active and can provide structure, companionship, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will also be your best friend, Barrett is your guy! The adoption fee of $350 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.
