Story

Hi, I’m Ivy I’m a 5-month-old Shih Tzu with a pink bow, a playful spirit, and so much love to give. I love toys. I love other dogs. Playtime is my happy place, and cuddles? Even better. I’m sweet, and always ready to be your little sidekick. I may be small, but my personality is mighty. I also want to share my story… I was going to be euthanized by my breeder — simply because I wasn’t “perfect.” Thankfully, a rescue stepped in and saved my life. Here’s my truth: I’m incontinent and I don’t have control of my back legs. I wear a diaper (and I’m very good about it!), need help with changes, and can’t do stairs. But none of that stops me from living a full, joyful life. I scoot wherever I want to go and don’t let anything dim my sparkle. I’m looking for a foster home or a forever family who sees my heart before my challenges. I’ll need a little extra care — and I’ll give you a lifetime of love in return.

Story

Buddy Edward is a middle-aged dude with a beer gut - we are working on his weight! He is the happiest, fattest, little Shih Tzu 'around' - he snorts like a bulldog and waddles! He came to rescue at 18 lbs and has been told by our Vet his bloodwork looks great, but his weight is a concern and obesity will cause problems. His foster has him on a diet, special kibble and only one meal a day. Buddy has curly white and tan fur. He had bald spots due to skin infections which have grown back. Due to breed - in addition to exercise, will require extensive grooming! Regular trips to the Salon *Rescue does not complete DNA testing. Breed is based on documentation provided from the original owner and Vet clinic who saw him prior to rescue. Buddy is fostered with cats, small dogs and big dogs. He loves attention and sitting on his foster mom's lap. He is leash trained and potty trained. Loves car rides and 'going anywhere. This breed has a Life Expectancy is 10-15 years. We are seeking a committed family for this piglet. Buddy came to rescue with two dog siblings after his elderly owners could not afford to care for them and taken to a small shelter. The Animal Control Officer contacted CCR and requested help - the dogs were neglected, dirty and not housetrained. They were clearly loved but owners started to struggle to care for themselves and the pets. Buddy has more housetraining than his younger dog friends. Buddy is now up to date on vaccines, dewormed for gut health, microchipped and neutered. He tested negative for heartworms and is on prevention. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee ($400.00) includes transport options to PNW (WA, UT, ID), Midwest (MN, WI, MI, OH, IL, IN) or select New England States (NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT) by pet transport partners. Due to Buster's size - he is eligible for travel with Southwest Airlines (Houston to any major airport approved by SWAAT) Canadian adopters must drive to the meet locations in USA. Email to Apply!

Story

Meet Boo Boo! Boo Boo is a Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix with a big personality! He is a sweet, friendly little guy who happily approaches everyone he meets when spoken to kindly. He is around 5 months old and weighs 6 lbs. He can be a little nervous with sudden movements, so a home without young children would not be best for him. Don’t let his tiny size fool you—Boo Boo loves to run and explore! Because of his small size and adventurous spirit, a securely fenced-in yard is a must for this little guy. Boo Boo is working hard on his potty training and does well sleeping in his crate. He would love a playful canine companion, especially since he came into rescue with his sister and enjoys having another dog to play with. He has also been around cats and does well with them. He is curious but respectful of their cues and does not chase. Boo Boo is a sweet little guy looking for a loving family who will continue to help him learn, grow, and feel confident We are asking potential adopters to have homes with kids 8 or older only 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 $550 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.

Can you imagine having these big, beautiful eyes looking up at you lovingly every day? Well you’re in luck because Marina is ready to be adopted! This happy girl is a 9 year old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix with tons of affection to dole out. Her foster family reports that her tail hasn’t stopped wagging since she arrived! Marina is great with other dogs and happy to meet new people. She’s getting the hang of walking on a leash and doing her business outside but she hopes her future family will continue helping her get her training down pat. Marina loves to be with people and will rotate between getting her energy out playing, and sitting on the couch with you while you watch TV. She wants nothing more than a forever home where she will get lots of love and attention, and we are happy we get to help her find it! Marina's adoption fee is $300
