Story
Hi! My name is Molly! I`m an Akita mix but think like a teddy bear. I came to the shelter as a stray with my friend Hershey. I came in first and didn`t do well by myself. I was sad and confused not knowing why Hershey didn`t come with. It didn`t take long though. Hershey likes to run and got away from our owner again. I was excited to see him and was back to my bouncing self. We need to go home to our new home together!Ask about us today!

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Beau is a stunning,Akita (best guess) mix puppy with an approximate date of birth in mid-November 2025—and he’s already well on his way to stealing hearts everywhere he goes. Along with his good looks, Beau is incredibly smart, sweet, and full of puppy charm. That said, Beau is still very much a puppy. He’s doing well with house training and continuing to learn that pottying outside is the goal. The good news? He loves the cold and snow, so winter adventures are right up his alley—if you’re looking for a winter puppy, Beau is your guy. Beau isn’t a huge fan of the crate just yet, but he’s making progress and learning that it’s not such a bad place. He sleeps through the night, which is a big win for any puppy parent. He gets along great with his foster brothers and sisters, including dogs and cats, and has been living successfully with an older child. Because Beau is young and still explores the world with his mouth , he is looking for a home with children ages 10 and older who can understand puppy boundaries and training. We also prefer a home with a securely fenced in yard and an active family who are home often to help him grow into a happy social adult Beau is an active, playful pup who will thrive with a family committed to continued training, exercise, and structure. In return, he’ll be a loyal, loving companion ready to grow up by your side. If you’re ready for puppy energy, snowy adventures, and a lifetime of companionship, Beau may be the perfect match.   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 send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $550 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! *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.February 6, 2026, 5:15 pm
