Story
At just five years old, this beautiful 54-pound Coonhound mix has already experienced unimaginable cruelty. When she was examined, veterinarians discovered BBs still lodged in her abdomen, heartbreaking evidence that someone had shot this gentle soul. Yet if you met Starfish today, you would never know it.
She greets every day with a wagging tail, bright eyes, and pure joy. She races across the yard in happy zoomies, leans in for affection, and loves people with a trust that feels almost miraculous. Somehow, despite everything she has been through, Starfish still believes the world is full of good.
When her time at the Maricopa County shelter ran out, Home Fur Good rescued her on her euthanasia deadline day. She finally had a chance to begin writing a new chapter.
While at Maricopa County, Starfish spent time in a foster home, where she had an altercation with a small dog. The shelter staff believed there was a rushed introduction in a busy, overstimulating environment. Starfish has met several larger dogs and has been playful, social, and sweet with them. Because of her history, she would do best in a home without small dogs.
What Starfish truly deserves is something she's never consistently had: safety, kindness, and a family who will never let her wonder if she's loved. We can't erase her past, but together we can give her the future she's been waiting for. If you're looking for a loyal companion with an incredible capacity to forgive, to love, and to fill your home with happiness, Starfish is waiting to meet you.
Starfish's $250 adoption fee includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital.
