Story
Mellie is a gorgeous Terrier/Yorkie mix ready for a forever home. She came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray and never reclaimed. It was reported that she had a seizure at animal control on her first day, but has not had any seizures since. Our vets completed bloodwork and an exam, which came back great. They said sometimes dogs may have seizures due to stress, if they had gotten into something toxic, or that a dog may have 1-2 seizures a year without requiring medication. Mellie does not currently require any medication for the past seizure and has been doing well. She loves greeting staff and rolling in the grass. She is looking for a home without other dogs. She can be dog reactive on leash, which can make walks more difficult, so a yard would be beneficial. Mellie can be nervous with new people, so she will require a slow introduction. She is looking for a calm home without children. Mellie LOVES to run around outside and play with toys. She does get mouthy when she gets super playful or over excited.

Story
Very Gentle Dog, born 11/19/2016. Owner is deceased. It is diabetic - it needs special Dog food (about $5 a can, give him half a can twice a day, morning and evening, about 12 hours apart) and an insulin shot with each meal (I can teach you how to do the shot or you can go to the vet to learn one time, its not that hard - just pull up the skin by his shoulders and put the shot in and squeeze). Since he is diabetic, he cannot eat people food or other dog snacks, aside from maybe a small dog treat at lunchtime. I can give you a leash, the extra dog food, insulin, and needles that I have when you pick him up. He had his rabies shot summer 2025. Tanner needs a new lap to sit on, I do not have time to give him the attention he deserves. As long as you take him out right after he eats, and let him out a few more times throughout the day, he will not pee inside.

Story
Meet Gracie! Gracie is a 5–7-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix weighing just 9 pounds, and she’s ready to begin the life she’s always deserved. This sweet little girl didn’t receive much love or affection in her earlier years, but now her eyes are bright and her heart is open. With patience and kindness, her gentle personality truly shines. When meeting new people, Gracie can be shy and timid at first, approaching with caution and tenderness. Once she feels safe, she enjoys quiet companionship, soft affection, and long, relaxing naps. She’s just beginning to discover toys and is finding them more and more interesting as her confidence grows. Gracie is also doing well with her potty training and continues to make steady progress. She gets along nicely with other dogs of all sizes. Gracie would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can feel secure and cherished. A fenced-in yard is preferred, and she would do best in a home with children ages 6 and older who understand how to be gentle and respectful with a small dog. She’s looking for a forever family who will spoil her with love and patience and allow her to blossom at her own pace. If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate companion who’s happiest simply being by your side, Gracie promises endless love in the tiniest, sweetest packag   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  .

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.
