🐾 Adopt Teddy: Your New Furry Friend! 🐾 Meet Teddy, the charming pup who's ready to be a part of your family! Teddy is a smart and silly dog with a heart full of adventure - without all the adventures! He loves to explore and spend time in the yard and lie in the sun. He gets along with other dogs very well! Though Teddy is still very shy and timid with humans, he still loves to follow you around, see what you are up to, and to be near you! With a little patience and love, he'll be the perfect companion for your home. He is only for someone who has the patience to give him TIME! After living a life outdoors, he is just so grateful to be inside a home at all! If you're looking for a dog who will open up with time and patience, Teddy is the one for you! We have a LOT of experience with the super shy ones, and we KNOW they all come out of their shell and end up being easy peasy companions full of gratitude and love.

Contact us today to meet Teddy at Colleen@startrescue.org

This sweet girl is the perfect mix of playful and chill. She’s gentle, loving, and happiest when she’s near her people. Whether she’s enjoying a walk, hanging out in the yard, or simply resting by your side while you work, she’s always content just being part of the day. CALLIE loves the company of other dogs—especially friendly, playful pups close to her own size. She’d do best in a home without small children, simply because of her size and enthusiasm. She’s affectionate and adores attention, sometimes so much that she tries to climb right into your lap during pets! She is truly a big ole lapdog. There’s really nothing difficult about her—she’s easygoing, sweet, and ready to be someone’s loyal companion. If you’re looking for a dog who balances playtime with calm companionship, she could be the perfect fit for you. She is currently located in Portland, OR and would love to meet you! Contact colleen@startrescue.org for more information or you can apply at startrescue.org/adopt She is fixed and vaccinated.

Weighing in around 58 pounds, Celine was rescued from the euthanasia list at a Houston shelter and has been thriving ever since in her loving foster home in North Carolina. She’s spayed, healthy, and available for out-of-state adoption once matched with an approved adopter—transport can be arranged to bring this superstar home to you! Celine is joyful, curious, and always ready for fun. She brings a playful spark wherever she goes—whether it’s romping in the yard with dog friends, chasing her favorite toy, or exploring new places. Her ideal playmates are other large dogs who enjoy an energetic buddy and don’t mind a little bounce in their step. She’d also be perfectly happy as the center of attention in a home where she can get plenty of activity and enrichment. This sweet girl is making great strides with her leash manners and training. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and settles quickly after an initial burst of excitement when it’s time for a walk. She’s eager to please and motivated by treats, which makes her a fun and responsive learner. Celine adores people and has done wonderfully around her foster’s 12-year-old child. She gets so excited to say hello that she sometimes forgets her size—but she’s learning to greet people more gently and is improving every day. Because of her enthusiasm, we recommend a home with kids over 10 who are comfortable around playful, happy dogs. She’s respectful with toys and food, shows no guarding behavior, and enjoys being near her humans for affection, praise, and snuggles. In the car, she may pant at first, but she’s gaining confidence with each ride—and a few more adventures will help her become a travel pro. Celine would thrive in an active home with room to stretch her legs, regular walks, and loving guidance to help her keep growing into her best self. Whether she’s your one-and-only or joins a friendly pack, she’s ready to fill your days with laughter, companionship, and love. Ready to be serenaded daily with joy and tail wags? Celine Dion is waiting to steal your heart. ___ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?

Meet Darling Delilah, the ultimate gentle soul. This serene, sweet girl is the definition of peaceful companionship. She’s quiet, polite, and affectionate in the most heart-melting way. Delilah loves soft squeaky toys, sunbathing in the yard, and cozy mornings wrapped in blankets. She’s perfectly house-trained, delightfully low-maintenance, and has an old-soul calmness that makes every moment with her feel peaceful. Watch Delilah's video here to see what she's all about! https://youtu.be/c6RDfEGPsB0?si=FRzpErgKgC6DJp5N Delilah’s house manners are impeccable. She sleeps through the night either at the foot of the bed, on one of her dog beds, or on the couch in the living room. She patiently waits for her foster parents to wake and take her outside. She can be quite goofy, doing a joyful zoom back to the house after a good potty break, just to celebrate her success. Delilah’s ideal day includes a leisurely morning walk or yard time, a little toy time (especially anything that squeaks), and of course, snack time. When her foster parents leave, she is free to roam in the house, never destructive. Truly, she’s a dream dog for someone who appreciates calm companionship. She’s brave with all sorts of noises, like thunder, vacuums, trash trucks, and fireworks, and none of it fazes her. Delilah is also the perfect work-from-home buddy: quiet, content, and always close by if you need a little furry comfort during your day. She's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear or nose scratch, almost as if she knew you needed a five-minute break from work. As for the rest of the time, she's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or curling up with a good chew toy. Delilah can be a little shy at first, as new people and new places can make her a bit uncertain. With some time and gentle patience to help her realize she is safe and loved, she bonds deeply and adores her people with her whole heart. She’ll follow you from room to room, greet you like you’ve been gone for ages (even if it’s only been five minutes), and roll over for belly rubs. Delilah loves time with her teenage human fosters, and appreciates the sturdiness of older kids because she loves to lean her whole body in for affection, lay on a lap like a 5lb chihuahua, and occasionally roughhouse play. Delilah thrives in a semi-active home that enjoys neighborhood walks, hiking adventures, and relaxed time in the yard. A family or individual who appreciates nature and is ready to explore trails or snowy landscapes would be a wonderful match. While she loves the great outdoors, she equally values her downtime indoors and settles in beautifully after activity. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard… a place where she can stretch her legs, roll in the grass, and soak up the sun. When it comes to other dogs, Delilah is currently living with quite the crew; from goofy puppies to large adult dogs and even a tiny Chihuahua. She prefers calm interactions and doesn’t enjoy rowdy play. She would do best with a submissive, easygoing dog that matches her cool, collected personality. That said, she would also be perfectly happy as your one and only pup, as her loyalty and devotion to her people run deep. A home without cats is a must, as Delilah shows far too much interest in them. If you have experience with Huskies, you know they thrive with structure, routine, and consistency. Delilah is an easygoing girl for the most part, but like most Huskies, she does best with daily mental stimulation and regular physical activity. A predictable schedule, clear boundaries, and some enrichment go a long way in keeping her happy and well-balanced. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
