Story
✨ Meet Star ✨
Star’s story began with heartbreak — her former “family” tried to throw her off a bridge. She was found emaciated, heartworm positive, and still wagging her tail at the shelter staff who saved her.
Today? She is an entirely different dog — healthy, confident, and absolutely in love with life. ⭐️
After completing heartworm treatment and her spay, Star spent the month of January 2026 in a board-and-train program, and the transformation has been incredible. Her love of people has fully evolved — Star now adores making new human friends and happily greets everyone she meets. She warms up quickly and shows her affection in the most joyful ways: full-body rubs, enthusiastic lean-ins, and bouncing straight into the air with all four paws off the ground when she’s excited to see you.
Through her training, Star has built a much stronger obedience foundation. She understands walking in a heel, has been off-leash trained, and is learning how to build meaningful relationships through play. She loves to explore the world, go sniffing and “hunting” (with permission), and enthusiastically play tug and fetch.
She recently attended her first house party and was convinced every guest was there just for her — and honestly, she wasn’t wrong. She has done wonderfully meeting both men and women and continues to gain confidence in new environments, including dog-friendly stores. All of this is still new to her, and she’s taking it on with curiosity and bravery.
When it comes to dogs, Star is continuing to grow and evolve. She has been integrating with other dogs on group pack walks, and has also successfully socialized and played with select dogs one-on-one without a muzzle. Matching her with the right dog — in temperament and energy — is key, but her progress has been truly encouraging as her social skills continue to develop.
At home, Star is a dream. She’s crate and house trained, settles beautifully in her crate, rides like a pro in her car crate, and is always ready for her next adventure.
👑 Star is looking for:
• A calm, structured home
• An adopter excited to continue training and confidence-building
• Humans who want to expand her world, not shrink it 💛
Our rescue will sponsor trainer handoff sessions to ensure her progress continues seamlessly.
Fiercely loyal, deeply goofy, and bursting with joy — Star has worked hard for this version of herself, and her future is brighter than ever ✨
