Story
Meet Indie, a 3-year-old aussie mix with the cutest ears and smile. Indie enjoys playing with toys and getting yummy treats. She also loves fetch! Indie loves to go on walks with the volunteers and enjoys running in the yard, as well. When we sit down with she just wants to climb into our lap and give kisses while she gets pets!In September of 2023, Indie had surgery to correct an issue with a luxating patella and is fully healed and doing great! She's back to running around and playing like before. She is about 40lbs now and can likely stand to lose some of the weight she had gained while on cage rest.Indie is a herding breed, so as always, we strongly encourage anyone interested in her to research these types of dogs. Indie hasn't shown herself to be a big fan of other dogs during her time with us, so she will need to be an only pet! She promises to provide lots of love and laughter to her forever family!Indie's adoption fee has been fully sponsored by a generous donor!

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!
