Story
Clarice is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute videos! Clarice is the sweetest, most polite young lady. One might say she's precious, and as silent as a lamb! Clarice recently arrived to Heartland from our shelter partner in Arkansas. She was there for several weeks, so while she's new to us, we know quite a bit about her from her time in the south. Clarice is smart, treat motivated, and affectionate. It took her almost no time at all to intuitively understand what humans were asking her to do, whether it be a pose for a photo or a polite sit. Clarice is comfortable with other dogs and children. She's a perfect medium size at just over 40 pounds, and just beautiful with her soft fur, spotted ears, and one eye patch. Clarice is looking for someone who will continue to help her learn with positive reinforcement and show her all the love and fun her very own family can provide. If you think she may be the perfect fit for you, inquire about her soon, she is bound to fly, fly, fly out the door! Clarice's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed/neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Meet Dean!  Dean is an almost 1 yr old Pointer/hound mix with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. He’s very much still a puppy at heart — energetic, curious, and always ready for his next adventure. Dean is currently working on basic manners like sit and “nice,” and he’s learning quickly with treats and consistency. One of Dean’s absolute favorite things in the world is cuddling. If you’re hoping for personal space during movie night… Dean may not be your guy . He will happily climb into your lap, shower you with kisses, and then flop over for belly rubs, channeling some serious Puss in Boots puppy-eyes energy. When he’s done loving on you, he’ll settle in close by — or sprawl out dramatically on the couch or bed. Dean is doing well with potty training and will use puppy pads and go outside. He does get very excited when greeting his people and may have an excited pee, so quick trips outside right after greetings work best for him. He’s still learning how to manage big feelings, but he’s trying! True to his puppy status, Dean is a chewer. Toys, kid items, and anything left within reach are fair game, so supervision and plenty of appropriate chew toys are important. He’s also very curious — including about things he probably shouldn’t be interested in — so a tidy home and guidance will help set him up for success. Dean loves other dogs and enjoys playing and cuddling with them. If one dog goes on an adventure, Dean will happily tag along — and come back together. Cats are still a question mark; he wants to play, but may be a bit much for cats who prefer lounging and being admired from a distance. Dean would thrive in an active home that can provide exercise, structure, training, and lots of affection. In return, you’ll get a hilarious, loving, loyal companion who believes there’s no such thing as too much togetherness. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining pup who will keep you laughing and loved, Dean may be your perfect match   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 send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe 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. Thank you for your understanding.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 31, 2026, 11:27 am

Story
True to her name, Dollface is an absolute doll. She’s calm, relaxed, and full of love—always ready to snuggle up and be your biggest cuddle bug. This sweet girl adores everyone she meets and would make a wonderful family dog. On walks, she’s a dream: great on leash and hardly pulls at all. She does enjoy a little digging now and then (every doll needs a hobby!), but her gentle, loving nature really steals the show. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion, Dollface is the whole package.

Story
Eleanora (Nora) is a sweet, soulful ~1-year-old girl who was pulled from a kill shelter and is now officially living her glow-up era. She’s still putting some weight back on and it’s clear she’s already been a mama, but despite whatever life threw at her before, this girl is pure love. She is: 💖 A certified kiss-giver 🐶 Obsessed with other dogs (friends = YES please) 🫶 Gentle, affectionate, and so grateful for every bit of attention 🥹 Full of love and just wants to be close to her people Eleanora has the softest eyes and the kindest soul. She’s the type of dog who leans into you for pets, follows you around just to be near you, and looks at you like you hung the moon. Eleanora is ready for a fresh start, a full belly, and a forever home where she can finally be someone’s baby instead of surviving on her own. If you would like to meet this dog, please call or text Lorri at 630-659-8814. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
CLARICE IS A PURE BRED POINTER- NOT A VIZSLA. I only added that to get her more exposure. UPDATE: Clarice moved to a new foster home coincidentally with a Vizsla in January. She is doing great and appears to be house trained and she is familiar with dog beds, human beds and couches so we do think she was kept as a pet before she was found running at large. Clarice does not- however- like her cage and her foster family is working through her anxiety there. Otherwise- she is getting daily walks, and is having much fun playing with her new buddy. While Clarice loves toys she is also a natural retriever. We hope to find her a new forever home that has a playful companion and can continue the great training regimen her foster family has provided for her. She also needs a home with a privacy fence. Click here for Clarice's Facebook Album December 2025: Can you say A DOR A BLE? Please meet little Miss Clarice- our newest Pointer rescue for 2025. She is about 9 months old and under 40lbs. She was found as a stray in the Joliet, Il area and my guess is she was dumped because she wasn't hunting- which is the usual reason. Clarice needs a patient loving home that will help her learn basic house manners. She would also benefit from some basic obedience and positive food and praise training. She also needs a home with a safe traditional fenced in yard. She is a playful girl and would benefit from playful companions. She did seem interested in tweetie birds in the bushes but wasn't sure about the quail in my garage. She is having her exam and blood work soon and we'll update if anything unusual shows up.
