Story
Toby is a sweet and playful Australian shepherd saved from a kill shelter. He loves playing with other dogs and needs a home that has a playmate for him. Toby also needs an owner with an active lifestyle who can help him get all his energy out everyday and also requires a home with a fenced in backyard! Here's the truth of it: Toby has a bite history. Toby will be very loyal and friendly to his family he knows but he WILL display protective behaviors when visitors come over and if not crated or kept on leash will bite them. We are looking for an adopter who has experience with dogs and of course no small children in the home.March 7, 2026, 12:04 pm

Kiwi came to us with his brother Coconut when his family was having a baby and decided they wouldn’t have time for them. While they are very beautiful dogs, Australian Shepherds are very smart and active dogs who need an active lifestyle.

Story
Hi! I’m Corona and I’ve been expanding my horizons lately and now I’m finally ready to continue to do that with my forever family! I’ve been working really hard and I’m getting more and more brave every day! Walks are the best even though putting on leashes is still pretty scary. Getting pet is also amazing and I love to seek out affection (especially chin scratches!!) - - BUT I still think it’s very creepy and suspicious when people try too hard (I hope they want to pet me and not eat me!!!) Good thing we have a hand signal so I can come and get pets without feeling like I’m being chased. I can’t believe I was missing out on them for so long!I get a ton of confidence from being with my (dog) foster sisters! They aren’t afraid of anything so I like to check in with them when I’m not too sure what to do.I get so excited in the morning when my foster mom is getting ready for work! Sometimes I get to go with so I’m used to long car rides, being around lots of other dogs and most importantly lots of treats!Thank you for reading!Tail Wags!Corona MacaroniCorona came to us extremely fearful, afraid of being touched and terrified of being approached by people. He was fostered by our trainer where he got the patience, understanding and socialization he needed to become a happy fulfilled dog. We are so proud of our little guy! He’s come such a long way and we want to be sure we find an adopter that will be dedicated to and excited about his continued progress! He needs a patient owner who wants to continue to work with him and help him thrive, someone who will find joy in helping him build confidence and find joy in celebrating all of his little wins! If this sounds like you please send us an app!

Jesse is a handsome ball of fluff! This poor guy came to us with bad hips and underwent FHO surgery. He’s still recovering, but he would feel much better recovering in a home! Jesse is sweet as can be and can’t wait to share his life with you!

Story
Starburst is a sweet Aussie mix girl born June 9, 2026, and she’s busy discovering all the fun things puppyhood has to offer!    This playful little girl loves to cuddle, play, and make new dog friends. She’s still learning all things puppy, so her forever family should be ready for plenty of patience, guidance, training, and love as she grows.   Starburst would love a home with a securely fenced yard where she can safely run, explore, and show off her playful puppy personality. She’s dog-friendly and ready to find a family who will help her grow into the amazing companion she’s meant to be. ❤️   Could Starburst be your new best friend?   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 be in touch!   The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the 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 Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 15, 2026, 6:07 pm
