Story
Theo is extremely smart and active. He really needs an owner that is experienced with the working line dog breeds. We did a DNA test on him and these two breeds were highest percentage. In training, he has done very well. Before the GSD came in his DNA test, we would describe his disposition as more Malinois. If you love that working line dog, he would excel in agility and scentwork. He loves to train and do drill work. Theo would do very well in a home with a confident female dog. He plays and follows the lead of a female dog in his training program. Seems to push back more with a male dog playmate. No cats at this time, but he is getting worked around cats to "leave it" . Any questions you have, please message us or fill out an application on our website www.promiserescue.org

Story
Meet Brenda, our bashful, ten month old Shepherd that is looking for a special home to call her own. Brenda came to us as a stray and was scared of her new surroundings. She would melt to the floor and cling to anything she could when on her walks. We`ve been working on her confidence and bravery and she has made big strides. She is very sweet and affectionate but you can tell she wasn`t treated the best in the past. She drops to the floor with loud noises and will scurry away. She isn`t timid to the point where she lashes out of fear but she is very submissive. She does well with other dogs but we are looking for a home with no cats or young children (10+). Treats are the key to helping her on her journey of coming out of her shell and she loves them! Brenda is going to be a project and will take some work but she is doing great and has made so many strides. She`s a friendly girl that just needs some leadership and reassurance. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay.

Story
Meet Pongo: A Sweet Tripod Looking for His Forever Home! Hi there! I’m Pongo, a 9-month-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as my floppy ears! Life threw me a curveball when I was hit by a car and had to lose one of my legs, but I didn’t let that stop me from being the happiest, most loving pup around. I’m now a proud tripod, and I’m learning how to get around just fine—though I’m still growing and building muscle, so sometimes I’m a little clumsy. That just makes me more charming, right? Here’s the lowdown on me: I’m potty trained and have perfect manners in the house. At night, I sleep quietly in my crate, though I’d be thrilled to snuggle up in a cozy bed with you! I know my basic commands like “sit” and “lay down,” and I walk beautifully on a leash. I’m great with other dogs, cats, and I do well around kids, though like many shepherds, I have a bit of a herding instinct. Don’t worry—I’m still learning and can be taught! I’m a playful, friendly pup who loves spending time with my people. I may have three legs, but I’ve got four times the love to give! My ideal family will be patient as I continue to grow and gain strength.  If you’re ready for an amazing companion who will brighten your days with my goofy antics and endless affection, I’d love to meet you! Let’s start our happily-ever-after together.  If you are interested in adopting/meeting Pongo , 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 $400 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. Adoption fees are the primary way that Starfish is able to continue to our mission to provide medical care, transport, and rescue to dogs in overcrowded shelters. Find out more about our mission here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/ 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.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 10, 2025, 11:16 am
