Story
Clea: Looking for a Patient Heart and a Forever Home If resilience had a face, it would look a lot like Clea. This beautiful young girl has already endured more than any dog ever should. She was found after being dumped, severely underweight, dehydrated, and covered in fleas. Despite her difficult start, Clea never gave up, and neither did the people who rescued her.The moment she was brought to safety, we placed her into a loving foster home where she could begin to heal, learn to trust, and finally experience what it means to be cared for. Clea is still discovering that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. She can be shy when meeting new people and facing new situations, but once she warms up and learns to trust you, you'll see the sweet, loving girl hiding behind those cautious eyes. The bond you'll build with Clea won't happen overnight, but it will be incredibly special and worth every moment of patience.We believe Clea would thrive in a quieter, calmer home. A confident, gentle dog sibling would be a huge bonus, as another dog can help show her the ropes and teach her that life isn't so scary after all. She enjoys following the lead of calm canine friends and gains confidence from their presence.Because she is sensitive and still learning about the world, we recommend a home with older children who can respect her need for space and help create a peaceful environment where she can truly relax and flourish.Clea will also benefit from continued socialization and training. The wonderful news? She's incredibly smart! With patience, positive reinforcement, and encouragement, we have no doubt she'll blossom into an amazing companion. This girl wants to learn, wants to trust, and wants to belong.What Clea needs most is someone willing to give her three very important things:TimePatienceLots of love and TLCWe see the incredible potential in Clea every day. Beneath her uncertainty is a loyal, loving, and beautiful soul just waiting for the chance to shine. All she needs is a family willing to believe in her.Could you be the one to show Clea that her difficult past does not define her future?Apply today and give Clea the forever home she deserves. Together, let's write the happy ending this sweet girl has been waiting for.

Story
Usually, adventures happen after dogs find their forever families but for Apollo his adventures started out early. He previously spent his days playing with neighborhood kids until he was picked up as a stray. After the pickup, he was able to ride along with the officer on a night shift. That is quite the adventure for Apollo and although he enjoyed the excitement, he is ready to settle down with his family. Apollo is a one-year-old Australian Kelpie mix, and he is a medium-size boy of 48 pounds. Apollo is a funny, happy boy with a huge smile to greet everyone. He is very dog friendly, and he certainly enjoys interactions with children, but he has not met a cat since coming into rescue so that remains an unknown at this time. He loves toys, especially outside. With his black coat, long legs and giant ears, he is hard to miss, and he has never met a stranger.Apollo is already leash trained and enjoys going on walks. He is a medium energy boy so he would fit in well with a moderately active family. He is learning his house training and crate training. This beautiful and resilient boy will be a great canine companion. He is confident in new situations and will be a delight to share daily life with. Apollo knows that he is headed for bigger and better things. Show Apollo with way home and apply for him today. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Apollo is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours.

Look no further than Loki. This boy will melt your heart with his beautiful brown eyes.

At 3 years old and an Australian Kelpie mix, Loki is fully grown and weighing in at around 43 lbs., making him the perfect medium sized companion.Loki is looking for a family that will put the time and effort into providing daily exercise, a variety of adventurous activities, and a commitment to continued training. With a little structure, this loving boy will thrive. He has been doing great on a leash and loves to play. He is already leash trained and ready to join his family on regular walks in the neighborhood or along a walking trial or anything in between. He is currently learning the art of fetch and cannot wait to show off his skills to his new family.Loki gets along well with all canine friends as well as kids, however his relationship with cats is unknown at this time. Along with his great leash skills, he has added house and crate training to his accomplishments. He aims to please and will always put his best paw forward in the learning process. Although Loki is housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment. With lots of love still to give, Loki is ready for a second chance at a forever family.

Story
Hendrix is a 3-year-old male Australian Kelpie mix who weighs around 43 lbs. He is full of personality and a definite superstar! This boy is a survivor, and had a pretty ruff start! Facing euthanasia at a high-kill, rural Kentucky shelter, a local volunteer couldn’t let this sweet boy die. She pulled him to foster, and we began life-saving treatment for heart worms.  Fast forward to today, Hendrix is fully clear of heart worms, fully vetted, and doing fantastic in foster home. He is ready to find his fur-evers! He likes dogs, cats, kids! He loves to run and play, does great on leash, and potty trained! He would make a perfect addition to any family or single person looking for a loyal companion. Hendrix is neutered, fully vetted and microchipped.
