Story

Meet Happy – the 9-Month-Old Deaf Pittie with the Best Smile! True to her name, Happy radiates joy wherever she goes. Every morning she greets her people and dog friends with the most adorable “happy dance” and shows off her signature smile, complete with a charming little underbite. Happy adores other dogs, though she needed some time to learn how to share toys when she first arrived in her foster home. She’s equally wonderful with people and would thrive in a home with older children who can understand her needs. Since she’s deaf, her foster family wakes her gently using scents—American cheese is her favorite alarm clock! On leash, Happy surprises everyone—she’s the slowest walker you’ll ever meet. At just 9 months old, she shuffles along like a sweet senior pup with arthritis. She never pulls, though sometimes she decides she’s just not moving. What she does love, though, is soaking up the sunshine and spending hours relaxing outdoors. Happy is a smart girl who has already learned “sit,” “come,” and “no.” Crate training has been a challenge, but she’s made huge progress. Now, she sleeps through the night peacefully and settles quickly during the day. She’s also a total comedian. From her hilarious piggy grunts and owl-like screeches to her antics with vegetables—watching her toss broccoli and green beans around the room is guaranteed entertainment—Happy will keep you smiling every day. Happy is ready to find her forever family: one that will appreciate her quirks, celebrate her progress, and give her the love and patience every puppy deserves. Apply today to meet Happy—you won’t stop smiling either! 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 .

Story

Hey, it’s me—Sprout! And seriously… what the heck, people?! I’ve been waiting forever for someone to realize how amazing I am. Are you all sleeping on this face? This goofy grin? These ears?! Wake up and come meet me already! I’m a handsome 51-pound black and white pittie mix, and yeah, I know what you’re thinking… “Black dog, male, pitbull” blah blah blah. But I’m telling you—I’m the exception. I’m the goodest boy who just needs someone to give me a real chance. I keep my kennel clean. I’ve been working with a trainer and I know my stuff—commands, tricks, the whole deal. I take treats gently, and I love showing off for snacks. I’m super smart, super loyal, and I love attention. Oh—and water? Obsessed. Splash pad? I’m there. Hose? Spray me all day. I’m a total water dog. I get along with some other dogs (a proper meet is a must!), and I’d do best with a strong, confident leader who knows dogs and is ready for a buddy who wants to learn and please. I’m charming, silly, and full of potential. My adoption fee is sponsored, thanks to my friends at Pound Town Boarding and Daycare in Plainfield. They believe in me—and I’m hoping you will too. • Dog meets welcome • +13 yr old in home Come on, what are you waiting for? Let’s finally get me home.

Capone

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Plainfield, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Capone Age: 6 years Breed: Pitbull Mix Weight: 77 lbs of love and leisure Status: Professional Couch Potato (with a short-lived fetch career) Meet Capone – our big ol’ lovebug with a heart as soft as his velvety ears and a body built for serious lounging. He rocks a stylish white coat with orange-tan patches that give him a bit of a “spotted cow in sweatpants” vibe – and honestly, he pulls it off. Capone’s story starts here at Wags, where he was adopted as a puppy. Life took a turn, and through no fault of his own, his owner made the incredibly selfless choice to return him when illness made it too hard to care for him. Thankfully, he found a second chance with a wonderful dad and his two daughters. Now, full disclosure: when they brought Capone home, they were told he was a “total couch potato.” And for the first few days, Capone said, “Hold my leash,” and played fetch like it was an Olympic sport. But after a little decompression time from shelter life, he discovered his true calling: melting into the cushions, snuggling his humans, and claiming every cozy blanket as his own. Capone LOVES his people – especially the kids – and prefers to be touching someone at all times. Unfortunately, his dad’s girlfriend has dogs, and Capone isn’t too thrilled about long-term roommates. He’ll tolerate other dogs for a weekend sleepover, but after that? He’s packing their bags. We get it – not everyone is into the “shared snacks and space” lifestyle. So here’s what Capone’s looking for: • A home where he’s the only furry star of the show • Kids are great, but maybe a bit older (he’s a big guy and may accidentally knock over the littles in his quest for kisses) • Someone who appreciates the art of doing absolutely nothing together Capone has already known love – and he’s ready to find it again, this time forever. Could his happily-ever-after be with you? Kid meets welcome Please note that Capone is in foster care and not available to view during open hours unless an appointment is made Please note: We do not have cats at Wags and cannot test dogs for cat friendliness. Unless a dog is currently in foster with cats or has a known history of living with them, the “cat-friendly” box will be marked no or unknown. If it’s not marked yes, we do not know. Apply to adopt at w2wrescue.com – please visit our website for adoption requirements. Watch your email for Wags communication.

You name it, she's playing soccer with it. She does need some training with play time as she can get too excited when you go to grab the toy and will try to grab it at the same time as you. She will gently jump up onto you for love and to give kisses, too. Sometimes she'll even climb onto your lap to snuggle. Marlo needs an active and strong leader who can help her be her best!
