Story
Chauncey is a 2 yr old 15 lbs silver terrier poodle mix (Scoodle) boy ready for his very own forever home. He is seeking a human/s to adore and shower with affection. This adorable pup arrived from KY with an Achilles tendon injury which appears to be old but does not slow this active, hopping, cuddly, sweet, smart, social, playful little boy.  He knows his name well. Chauncey's leg can be surgically corrected or but does not need to be.  He does just fine and is not in pain.  His injury is probably the reason he was surrendered. Chauncey's favorite things include his fox toy Baby, treats and toys of any kind, neighborhood walks, belly rubs, car rides, playing fetch, cuddles and following a human in adoration.  This boy waits outside the shower for the human...and will jump into an empty tub when his water bowl is empty (hint-hint). Chauncey deserves a human who doesn't expect perfection but wants a perfectly loving companion pup.  This very special boy needs a chance to shine as the stellar pup he is.  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! If you are interested in adopting/meeting , 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! *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.September 26, 2023, 11:43 am

Story
Meet Pi! Pi is looking for a special family to call his own. Pi is an overly friendly guy who has no idea that he is different from the rest. Pi is 3 legged, a little paralyzed, happy go lucky small guy who spends every day eager! He is all kinds of friendly including cat, dog, and kids. He loves his wheel chair and is getting more confident in it every day. He enjoys playing ball and being in the grass. A true sun bather so to speak. He never has met a stranger and always promises to be on his best behavior. He has no mobility issues other than dragging his body around when he isn't in his wheelchair but I promise that there is no stopping him. If you are interested in being considered a forever home for Pi please head to our website www.dtranimalfoundation.com to apply for him directly. If you have any questions before applying please email dtrafadopt@gmail.com
