Story

Meet Cody — our adorable lowrider with a long body, short legs, and a huge personality.Cody is approx 2 years old and around 35 lbs, with that classic lowslung, longbacked build that makes him extra cute and instantly lovable. He’s expressive, peopleoriented, has a calm personality, and is happiest when he’s right next to his person. Cody’s personality:Cody is deeply affectionate and loves to sit on your lap, lean into you, and be your little shadow. He’s friendly with other dogs, but he is possessive of his person — he does not like to share his human’s lap or attention. For this reason, Cody would be happiest as an only dog where he can soak up all the love. If you do have another dog, just know Cody will naturally take the alpha role in the home. He’s not aggressive — he simply has a confident, “this is my person” personality. Adoption Criteria:• Fully fencedin yard (no invisible fences)• Preferably no other dogs — Cody wants to be the center of your world• Children 7 years of age or older• Someone home more during the day — he thrives on companionship and routine• No crating — use a baby gate if he needs to be safely contained Cody is ready for a home where he can finally have what he’s always wanted: his very own person to love, protect, and stay close to. He will make a devoted, affectionate companion for someone who wants a dog with heart, personality, and endless love to give. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $195. Cody is being fostered in Fort Wayne, Indiana ##2766870##

Story

🐾 Hi, I'm Peter! I'm a dog but I speak Cat 🐾 Are you one of those people who keeps saying, "I wish I could get a dog, but my cats would never allow it?" Well, good news—I might just be your cats' approval-rated roommate. I'm about 1½ years old, weigh a perfectly portable 19 pounds, and I was found as an unclaimed stray hanging around with cats. That's right. While other dogs are out here writing strongly worded complaints about felines, I was apparently building my social circle around them. So for all you cat lovers looking for a dog who already speaks a little "cat," consider this your gift, neatly wrapped in 19 pounds of adorable. Now, let's address the tiny elephant in the room. I was recently neutered, and before that I was pretty convinced that every square inch of the world belonged to me. As a result, I've been known to leave the occasional "Peter was here" signature. The good news? A simple belly band can help while I learn that not everything needs my personal stamp of approval. What else do I bring to the table? I'm cute, compact, young, and ready to trade stray life for couch life. I promise to provide entertainment, companionship, and occasional comedic relief. Your cats can continue acting like they own the house—I won't argue. Much. So what are you waiting for? Fill out that application and let's make this official. I've spent enough time being homeless. It's time for me to find my people. Love, **Peter** Professional Cat-Friendly Dog Part-Time Explorer Full-Time Good Boy 🐶💕Apply at www.bigdogsdontcry.com

Story

Small, spunky, and full of personality, this 1-year-old possible Jack Russell mix male pup is ready to wiggle his way into your heart! Buddy loves toys, zoomies, making new friends, and soaking up attention from everyone he meets. Whether it's a game of fetch or a fun training session, Buddy is excited to be part of the action. Buddy is house trained; crate trained; and knows the sit command. He sleeps through the night quietly in his crate. He’s working on not jumping when greeting people and walking on a leash. Buddy has been diagnosed with early arthritis in his front leg; however, that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. Keeping Buddy at a healthy weight (25 lbs.); on joint supplements; following veterinarian's recommendations; and balancing activity with rest will help him stay comfortable and happy. He may not be training for the Dog Olympics, but he's absolutely going for gold in cuddling, making you laugh, and stealing your spot on the couch. If you're looking for a pint-sized comedian with a huge heart, this little guy is ready to be your favorite sidekick. Buddy is dog/cat friendly. He would do best in a household with older 8+ years old respectful kids, if any and a secure fenced-in yard. 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 $400 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.

Story

Hi, I’m Knuckles. I’m a little guy rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and I’m looking for something very special—a family willing to love me for however much time we have together. The rescue believes I’m looking for a hospice home, but please don’t let that scare you away. I’m still here to love. Still here for cuddles. Still here to wag my tail when I see my people. I don’t need anything fancy. Just a warm bed. A gentle heart. And someone who will make sure I never feel alone again. The best part? My adoption fee is completely sponsored. Maybe my happily ever after isn’t measured in years. Maybe it’s measured in love. ##2766716##

Story

My name is Jack, and I’m about 3 years old. I’m a little Jack Russell mix weighing in at just 8 pounds, so I’m the perfect size to fit right into your lap (which I would absolutely love!). 🐶 Everyone says I’m such a sweetheart, and I have to agree. I love people and I’m not shy at all! I can be a little submissive when you first pick me up, and I might have a little accident because I’m still learning that I’m safe. I was just neutered on the 8th, so with a little time, patience, and maybe a belly band while I adjust, I’m expected to do even better.What I’m really looking for is someone who will see past my little quirks and love me for the affectionate, gentle boy I am. I promise to repay you with lots of love, cuddles, and a loyal little shadow by your side.Could you be my forever family?Visit www.teambarc.com for more information and our online application.
