Story
This beautiful girls name is Hilda and she is a 3 year old Lab- Pyrenees mix who weighs about 75 lbs. Hilda had a rough start to life, she was abandoned on a farm down South and gave birth to her puppies under a chicken coop. From poor nutrition Hilda's front legs are deformed. She can still walk and does a great job getting around, even jumps up on the couch for some love. Hilda is nervous with new people at first, it does take her a bit to warm, but who can blame her after all she has been through. She sleeps under her foster mom's desk during the day, that has become her safe space. A fenced in yard would be best for Hilda, so she has somewhere safe to be outside if she gets scared, she cannot run off. Once she trusts you its kisses and snuggles going forward. If you feel you may be the right fit for Hilda and can give her all the love she deserves, fill out an application she would love to meet you. I included a few before pictures so you can see just how far she has come. Our adoption process is usually quick but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require that the dogs be present at the meeting to make sure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption. If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and we will gladly consider your family for another dog.

Story
The word "PERFECT" according to Webster dictionary - A state of being completely without fault, finished or fully satisfying all requirements OR more simply "Chevy Lynn"!! (affectionately called Buttercup by her foster family) If you are looking for a dog that will steal your heart and fit into your family with ease - this special girl is for you!!!!! She is a 3 yr old 70 lb lab mix lady.  Potty trained - not one accident since she's been in my care Gets along with Cats, Dogs and Humans of all sizes Takes a treat like she's being handed the most fragile treasure Champion sunbather Not a big barker Knows sit and shake (working on speak) Easy to walk Takes new direction and catches on quickly Will go in crate with special treat encouragement - she isn't a big fan of the crate but I've found she can be trusted and really doesn't need to be crated No food issues - or food aggression Expert snuggler Medium to low energy Not anxious Chevy Lynn does need to lose a bit of weight - but with her diet plan and daily walks - the weight should come off easily.   I can't say enough about how wonderful this sweet, smushy girl is.  The family that adopts Chevy Lynn is truly Lucky!!!!   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 $350 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. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
