Story
Must be adopted with Leon! Meet Lyra, one of the bonded pair with Leon. Sister and brother were born October 23, 2022 and originally adopted off the streets of Oklahoma and need to stay together. She is smart, attentive, and an incredible listener. She picks up on routines quickly and always wants to do the right thing. Lyra can be a little anxious in new situations, so she needs a patient, calm home where she can feel safe and secure. They currently live with another dog so with slow introductions will get along. Just not appropriate to meet other dogs while on leash. They’re great with older kids and smaller, dog savvy children because they are strong. A six foot fence or invisible fence required.

Story
Waffles is a 7-month-old Husky/Terrier mix weighing about 27 lbs — and he’s just as sweet as his name suggests! This handsome boy is full of energy and joy, and he’s looking for an active family who can keep up with his playful spirit. Waffles loves to play with other dogs and would thrive with a canine buddy. He hasn’t been tested with cats. He’s also great with kids, though he’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground when he gets excited (we redirect him with an “off” and help guide his legs down). He’s crate-trained — he sleeps through the night in his crate (from about 10:30 pm to 6 am) and settles nicely when left alone. Potty training is still a work in progress, but with consistency and patience, he’ll catch on quickly. Walks are one of Waffles’ favorite things! He’s a strong puller, so a harness helps, and he’d do best in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely burn off his energy. Above all, Waffles loves attention and companionship. He’ll bring a lot of fun, love, and laughter to a family who can give him the activity and training he needs as he grows. Could Waffles be the missing piece in 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
This 9-month-old, 30 lb Lab/Terrier mix is equal parts spunky and sweet, and she's on the lookout for her forever family! Mary is a playful pup who absolutely loves romping around with the resident dog in her foster home. She plays hard, wrestles joyfully, and is always up for a game of tug or a shared snuggle. She gets along great with other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine sibling who can match her energy and help her learn the ropes. She's also house-trained and crate-trained, though she does have some crate-related quirks. Mary tends to get protective of her space and isn’t a fan of people approaching her crate unless it’s time to let her out. Outside of the crate, she’s been social, loving, and well-mannered around both adults and kids (ages 10 and up). Mary is still a young pup, so she’s working on her manners—like keeping all four paws on the floor when greeting people and learning not to “surf” the table for snacks. She knows “sit,” comes when called (most of the time!), and is starting to follow her foster brother’s lead in ringing the bells to go outside… though sometimes it’s just a clever way to distract him and sneak a toy. She may bark for a few seconds when new people arrive—but she’s a smart girl, and her foster family is working on building her confidence through training and consistency. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and clever young dog to grow and learn with, Mary could be the perfect match! She’ll do best in a home that’s ready to continue her training, offers some structure, and ideally has a friendly dog to play with.

Story
Meet JJ – Your High-Energy Playmate in Training! &#226&#154&#161 JJ is a 1-year-old Lab mix bursting with energy, personality, and potential! He’s crate trained, housebroken, and always ready for action — especially if there’s a tennis ball involved. This guy lives to play ball, chew on his bones, and romp around with his toys. JJ  is still learning how to settle down and relax, so he’s not quite the snuggly type yet — but with time, patience, and the right structure, he has every chance of becoming a loyal and loving companion. He’s looking for an experienced family who can help guide him, provide consistent training, and give him the mental and physical stimulation he needs to thrive. A secure, fenced-in yard is a must — JJ has lots of energy to burn and needs room to run and play safely. He gets along with other dogs and would likely love a playful dog sibling to match his energy! That said, JJ’s enthusiastic style of play isn't for every pup, so any resident dog should be able to handle a bouncy buddy. If you're an active household looking for a fun, smart, energetic companion with tons of potential, JJ might just be your perfect match. With the right guidance, this high-octane goofball is going to make someone a very happy (and very well-exercised) best friend 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
Riley is a 28 pound, 6 month old female puppy (born May 2025) with big puppy playfulness that matches her big puppy paws. Based on her current size and weight, she’s looking like she’ll be a large dog. She has gotten along great with other dogs of various ages, and is curious about the cat she’s been around, though she plays a bit too hard for the cat’s tastes. She really wants to be a lap dog at times, especially on car rides. Riley is a bit skittish in new environments and around new people and sounds, so she’ll need continued patient and gentle exposure. She enjoys leashed walks, but occasionally needs some coaxing when she’s skittish and some calming when a squirrel runs by. She relaxes in her crate for naps, night time, and as needed. We’ve been working on “sit”, “come”, and “gimme paw”, and she’s doing well with those commands. She’s doing okay with house training, though still has accidents inside; she’s not consistent with letting us know she needs to go out, so she’s taken outside every few hours and rewarded for successful toileting when she’s out.
