Story
STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  &#239&#184&#143 Meet Chili! This little firecracker is ready for her forever home! &#239&#184&#143 Chili has been settling beautifully into her foster home and is proving what a smart, sweet girl she truly is. She’s doing great with crate training — even making it through a full workday without any accidents! She loves attention, enjoys her toys, and has that classic puppy energy with a touch of silliness. Her foster family says she’s a joyful little character who keeps everyone laughing. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate young pup who’s eager to learn and ready for love, Chili might be the perfect match. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Apply to adopt at www.linktr.ee/starescue I get along great with  kids, cats, dogs, and even pigs! I come with my vetting up to date age appropriately, dewormed, microchipped, flea/tick/heartworm prevention and some food, leash, collar, treats, toy and other goodies. If you would like to be considered to adopt me or meet me, please fill out an app asap!   All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped. AGE DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, most of the orphaned animals that come into our rescue looking for homes don’t bring birth certificates. Sometimes we know our pets’ ages. Sometimes we don’t. So we make our best guess based on the condition of their teeth and the veterinarians best guess.   BREED DISCLAIMER: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label . Microchips: For the safety of our dogs and peace of mind of our fosters and adopters, STAR microchips all dogs prior to adoption with Petlink Microchips. Please understand that all dogs MUST still wear a collar with ID tags (which include your current information) AT ALL TIMES. Please remember, our foster dogs are extremely important to us-- we will always take any of our dogs back, if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog. Never surrender him/her to a shelter!

Story
STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  Meet Cream Soda — the One-Eared Wonder! Every superhero has an origin story… and Cream Soda’s is one of courage, resilience, and the happiest tail wags you’ve ever seen. This brave girl survived a dog fight that left her completely missing one ear — but instead of letting it break her, she decided to level up. Now she struts around like the adorable little warrior princess she is, spreading joy everywhere she goes. Cream Soda is: &#226&#156&#168 Sweet enough to live up to her name &#226&#156&#168 Wiggly enough to power a small city &#226&#156&#168 Friendly with absolutely everyone she meets &#226&#156&#168 NOT reactive to other dogs &#226&#156&#168 Proof that heroes come in all shapes — even one-eared ones Despite her past, she has ZERO hard feelings. She’s all about love, cuddles, and meeting new people. She’s basically a real-life reminder that you can go through something terrible and still shine bright. Now she’s searching for her next chapter — a forever family who will celebrate her, spoil her, and let her be the brave little hero she was born to be. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Think you’re ready to team up with the One-Eared Wonder? Apply to adopt at www.linktr.ee/starescue Give this girl her happily-ever-after. She’s already earned it.

Story
STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  Meet Gnocchi – The Underdog Who’s Been Waiting 5 Years for His Someone Five years ago, Gnocchi’s life was saved just in time—he was hours away from being euthanized at a high-kill shelter. Scared and unsure, he came into our care... and somehow, he’s still here. Not a single application. Not even a question. It’s like the world forgot about him. His foster mom loves him more than anything, but wants more for him. Now around 8 years old, Gnocchi isn’t flashy. He’s not the life of the party. He’s more of a homebody with an old soul—content with a quiet routine, a soft place to land, and the occasional belly rub. He’s not clingy, but he does enjoy affection in his own time. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and down, and he’s fully house-trained. He’s also respectful—doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t and doesn’t try to escape a fenced yard. Gnocchi would thrive in a calm, adult-only home—maybe with a bachelor or a couple who understands the value of a quiet companion. He’s dog-friendly but isn’t looking to make a ton of friends. He walks okay on a leash, but he’s a strong boy at 80lbs, so he’ll need someone who can handle his size. He doesn’t mind storms or loud noises. He doesn’t need constant attention. He’s okay if you work long hours. He really doesn’t ask for much—just food, love, and a few gentle pets. Gnocchi is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known medical concerns. He’s just... overlooked. Forgotten. One in a literal million. Waiting for someone to notice the quiet gem he is. We know his perfect person is out there. It may feel like a needle in a haystack, but Gnocchi deserves to be someone’s one and only. Could it be you? All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bonnie, a 4-year-old spayed pit bull, is one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs you will ever meet. She loves to snuggle, nap in the sunshine, go on adventures, hike, boat, kayak, and be right by your side. She is gentle with adults, loves attention, and thrives with calm, one-on-one companionship. Unfortunately, Bonnie cannot live safely in a home with other animals or small children. She has shown escalating animal-directed aggression, and has attacked our cats unexpectedly several times. With our cats and 9 month old baby, we can no longer keep everyone safe. We are willing to transport her and provide her bed, winter coat and booties, swim vest, harness and leash, indoor cage if needed, and food for the first few months. Her shots are not up to date but we will pay for the cost of her vaccines. She’s a great dog who just needs the right home. We will be vetting all applicants and potential homes.
