Dezi’s FAQs

What is Star-Mar Rescue’s adoption process?

Adopters must continue to care for their Star-Mar dog in a naturally reared manner. (read mission statement for clarification) Most of our dogs require a fenced area leading directly from the home in order to ensure daily, healthy exercise. Due to their past, many dogs require someone who is not working away from home a typical 8 hour work day; works from home, is retired, works very part time. We require that you have a designated plan for your dog should they outlive your ability to care for them. You will first visit with the dog in the dog's foster home where they are the most comfortable. The second visit is to bring the dog to your home, introduce them to other members of the household and let them explore you home and yard by leave the dog in your home for about a hour. We then pick up the dog and return them to their foster home. If it is agreed that the adoption be completed then the adopter comes to the foster home and completes the adoption. That way the dog is going with someone they already know, to a place where they have already been. It is the least traumatic transition we can offer the dog.
