My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Astro here! Or, as my foster parents call me, Good Boy. I am a very affectionate, medium energy, 5yr old, 30 lb mix. While I get along just fine with other dogs, I really am more interested in people than other dogs. It takes me a bit to trust strangers but then I like to give humans lots and lots of kisses I love my fuzzy squeaky toys and playing tug. One of my favorite things to do is roll around upside down in sheets, pillows and blankets. I love getting butt and back scratches and will verbalize adorable little grunts when you hit the right spot. My humans say I am adorable. I am also a good guard dog and will bark when someone comes to the front door. I would love a home with a fenced-in back yard where I could run around and chase the squirrels. I also like chasing cats, so a cat free home is best for me! I'm working on some basics like "sit", "stay" and how to walk well on a leash. I have a little bit of anxiety (who wouldn't with my sad past?) but, with a regular schedule, I do just fine. I would love to meet you, take a walk, and kiss you as you give me scratches!

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 send to the foster family to set up a meet!

The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe 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 the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Go meet their pets

We are not a shelter. We are a group of pet lovers and advocates who are committed to targeted rescue. Starfish Animal Rescue is a licensed rescue that is run by an all volunteer staff.
Once we rescue a dog or cat, it is placed in one of our foster homes until we are able to find it a suitable home. We are happy to set up an appointment to meet our pets once we receive and review your completed application.

We do our best to process applications quickly but please understand that we are a foster based rescue and that our volunteers work jobs; many are full time. Sending in a completed application is the best way to facilitate this process. You can go on our website www.starfishanimalrescue.com and download an application
Once your application is reviewed, we will put you in contact with the dog's foster family to set up a time to meet the pet of your choice!
Thank you for supporting our rescue and what we are trying to accomplish in southeastern Kentucky.
