Story
Meet Patsy!  This sweet girl is an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, born mid-June 2026, and currently weighing in at a petite 4 lbs. Patsy is small but mighty — sweet, smart, and well-behaved. She does well with children but will thrive best in a calmer, quieter home where she can feel settled and secure. The details: Breed: Australian Shepherd/Lab mix Approximate DOB: Mid-June 2026 Current weight: ~4 lbs Temperament: Sweet, smart, well-behaved Good with kids: Yes Best fit: A calmer, quieter household A few more things about Patsy: She's crate trained and currently sleeps in a dog playpen. She's very smart and well-behaved, and she loves other small dogs — though she's still a bit timid around larger dogs, so a thoughtful introduction process will help her feel comfortable. If you're looking for a smart, sweet little girl who'll settle in beautifully to a peaceful home, Patsy could be exactly what you're looking for!    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
Rolo is an adorable Aussie mix boy born June 9, 2026, and he’s one happy little pup! He’s playful, cuddly, and absolutely loves a good belly rub. If you’re looking for a puppy who will happily snuggle up with you after playtime, Rolo may be your guy!   Rolo is dog-friendly and busy learning all the important things about being a puppy. He’s looking for a patient, loving family who will continue to help him with training, socialization, and all the adventures that come with puppyhood.   A securely fenced yard is a must for this playful little guy so he has a safe place to run, explore, and burn off some puppy energy.   Rolo is ready to find his forever family—and he has plenty of cuddles and belly rubs to give!

Story
Hi, I’m T-Bear! I’m a one-eyed Australian Shepherd puppy with two eyes’ worth of personality and absolutely no idea that I’m supposed to be different. One eye doesn’t make me less of a dog. It just makes my face a little more unforgettable. I was found alone in a field and had already been through more than any puppy should. I eventually lost one of my eyes and needed surgery, but that chapter is over. These days, I’m much more interested in toys, adventures, cuddles, and figuring out exactly how much puppy mischief I can get away with. I run, wrestle, explore, and play like any other puppy. I’m curious about everything, I learn quickly, and when I’m finally tired, I turn into the sweetest little cuddle bug. Pick me up, and there’s a very good chance I’ll melt right into you. And guess what? I’m now in Illinois! No more waiting for me to travel across the country. I’m here and ready to meet my family. I’m great with kids, dogs, and cats, and I’m neutered and vaccinated. I’m still a puppy, so I’ll need someone ready for training, routines, exercise, and all the goofy moments that come with raising a baby Aussie. I’m T-Bear, and I’ve already found my way out of that field and into my second chance. ##2714725##
