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. Meet Green Bean — “Beanie” to her friends Beanie was a fan favorite from the very start. She’s a Labrador Retriever puppy who is playful, confident, silly, and absolutely loves to cuddle - the kind of pup who curls right in and makes herself at home in your heart. Unfortunately, once Beanie was diagnosed with a heart murmur, interest in her dropped, and that breaks our heart because she is still the same amazing puppy. So let’s talk about that for a moment A heart murmur is an extra sound heard during a heartbeat. In puppies, many murmurs are mild and can lessen or even resolve as they grow. Some dogs live long, happy, totally normal lives with them. Treatment and care can vary widely and each dog is different so a consultation with a cardiologist would help explain what care looks like for Beanie’s specific case. Beanie deserves a family who understands that loving her might also mean being prepared for potentially extra care in the future. What Beanie doesn’t know: • She doesn’t know she’s different • She doesn’t know she’s “less adoptable” • She doesn’t know her heart makes an extra sound What she does know: • How to play hard • How to love big • How to snuggle like a pro • How to be the very best girl All of Beanie’s siblings have found their homes… and she is the last one still waiting. She will be 8 weeks old on 12/27, and she’s hoping for a Christmas miracle - a family who sees her, not just a diagnosis. If you’re the kind of person who believes love is worth a little extra care, Green Bean might just be your soulmate 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!
