Story

Luna is 6 years old. She is a pure-bred Australian Cattle Dog. She is extremely loyal to those she loves. She is trained on an off leash. She responds to commands very well. She knows: Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Place, Roll Over, Wait, Kiss, Paw, and much more. She can be very loving when she wants to, and loves to be around those she loves at all times. She is not friendly toward strangers and those she does not know. She would need someone who is willing to build the relationship with her. She is not very loving towards kids. She is not aggressive, but does not know how to control her body or actions around them. She is a very anxious dog as well. She is on anxiety medication to help. She also has a torn ACL that has not been repaired. She is able to walk on the leg and has been rehabbing the leg, but she is too high energy to tolerate sitting still after a surgery. The right home would be either an individual, or couple with no plans for kids. She would be a great dog for the right fit.

Story

Cosmo: The Freckle-Pawed, Big-Smile Pup Ready for Forever! Hi. I’m Cosmo. Black-and-white cutie. Giant grin. Radar ears. Polka-dot paws. I get a lot of compliments. I came out of a shelter in Georgia, but everything changed when I got rescued. Now I’m safe. I’m loved. I’m ready to find a real family who wants a best friend. I’m about 24 pounds now, and even when I fill out, I’ll probably stay in the 30 to 40 pound range. That’s small enough for your lap but sturdy enough for your adventures. People say I might be a mix of fox terrier, cattle dog, and pointer. That means I’m smart, loyal, playful, and curious. I’m young and still figuring things out. I love to explore, I love people, and I’m clean in my kennel. I used to panic on the leash and flop around like I was in a drama class, but I’ve gotten way better. These days, I just want to go out and sniff the world. With other dogs, I bring the party. I’ve got puppy energy and I play hard. Some dogs love it. Others tell me to chill, and I don’t always pick up on that right away. I do best when someone steps in and gives me a reset. I don’t mean harm. I just get excited. Cats? Yeah, I’m not the best match for them. Sometimes new stuff makes me nervous, especially the vet or being crated. I can get mouthy when I feel trapped. But when I know I’m safe, I settle right in and show my soft side. What I need is someone with a kind heart and a strong voice. Someone who will help me stay busy and teach me how to be the best version of me. If you’re the kind of person who sees potential and sticks around to see it bloom, we might be meant for each other. So, who wants a forever friend that’s fun, loyal, full of life, and pretty easy on the eyes? I’m right here, waiting. ##2510854##

Merrick is truly something special! At just over a year old, Merrick is a 45-pound Australian Cattle Dog with a heart as big as his potential.

Merrick is loyal, intelligent, and deeply people-focused, a true best friend in the making.

Story

Ziggy Zaggy Zoom Here – Certified Cuddle Pro & Snack Enthusiast Hey there, I’m Ziggy, 4½ years old, 29 pounds of cattle dog mix perfection, and currently accepting applications for my human. I’m a calm, gentle guy with a heart that’s all gold and a little goofy. I love naps, snacks, and long cuddle sessions, pretty much the holy trinity of happiness. My foster says I’m food-motivated (translation: I’ll do anything for treats), and I'm a champ at leash walking, sitting on cammand, and lying down! Smart boy that I am. I get along great with cats, and older chill dogs - the kind that don’t get all up in my face. Puppies? Hard pass. But if you’ve got a wise older buddy, I’ll gladly learn the ropes. My foster brother recently taught me how to conquer stairs, and that was a big win for me. I’d do best in a calm home with older kids and not a lot of surprise guests. I’m not about that revolving-door lifestyle. I like peace, predictability, and people who get me. I need a home with a fenced yard (my current carer says this is an absolute must). If you’re looking for a loyal lap dog who’s all heart and no drama, that’s me. I’ve got love to give, a couch to share, and a forever to look forward to. So, what do you say? Wanna Zoom with Ziggy? ##2510857##

Kokoro - The Big-Hearted Playmate Who Loves Life Hi, I’m Kokoro, a six-month-old pup whose name means “heart.” That fits me perfectly because I have a big one. I’m playful, friendly, and curious. I love to run, play, and have fun with other dogs, then chill out when it’s time to rest. I’m crate trained and learning all the good puppy manners. I’ll need a family with patience to keep helping me learn how to walk nicely on a leash and grow into the best dog I can be. I love people, and I’m happiest when I’m part of whatever is happening around me. If you’re looking for a puppy with energy, affection, and a loyal heart, I’m ready to join your family. Adoption fees are $500 + $300 neuter deposit for when he is old enough (over 1 year old). ##2535104##

Story

Meet Prancer — a strikingly handsome Australian Shepherd mix with a personality as charming as his name. At about 3 years old and 30 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion for both adventures and cozy nights at home. Prancer came to us from a shelter in Kentucky, where the staff couldn’t help but smile at his adorable prancing walk — and the name just stuck! True to his playful spirit, Prancer loves romping around with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine companion to share his fun. This sweet boy is as affectionate as he is active. He adores being with his people and will happily soak up all the love and attention you’re willing to give. Prancer is an outdoor enthusiast who would be overjoyed to have a yard to explore or a family who enjoys walks, hikes, and everyday adventures. The best part? Prancer is potty trained and has good house manners, making him an easy and wonderful addition to the right home. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving best friend, Prancer may be your 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 .

Story

Phoebe is an Aussie Shepherd mix born around 12/20 who radiates a sweet, gentle energy. While she is still a tiny pup discovering her own personality, she is exceptionally polite, often choosing to approach people with a steady, graceful pace. She is a bright and curious soul, always eager to investigate the world around her, yet she remains remarkably focused as she learns something new every day. Phoebe is a spirited playmate who loves a good wrestling match with her littermates, but she is just as quick to settle into a peaceful cuddle at your feet once the fun is over. Already well-behaved enough to sleep through the night, Phoebe’s blend of an inquisitive mind and a quiet, observant charm makes her a truly delightful companion in the making. She will need a family who is home often to help her grow and become a wonderful adult pup!
