Star

Meet our Star, a 5 year old brindle beauty that came into rescue through no fault of her own due to needed medical. She weighs around 65 pounds and our best guess is she is a mix of Boxer and Terrier. Star has been around people of all ages and lived with children and absolutely LOVES everyone!<br/><br/>This princess was an owned dog, but after a divorce the family was unable to care for her medical needs so she came to us with big needs which we have been tackling for the last few months. This poor girl was emaciated, her skin was a mass of infection with bloody sores, patches of hair loss, extreme swelling to skin and nails curled under to point she could hardly walk. She scratched non-stop and was heartbreakingly miserable! We immediately got her into the vet where she required multiple medicines and medicated baths to get rid of her massive skin infections and we put her on a special food. As she slowly recovered from this neglect, her bright, joyful personality began to emerge....she loves people, affection, squeaky toys, food, treats and most of all, BALLS!<br/><br/>As Star's skin has slowly healed, life has become amazing for her! To continue the healing we next changed her food from chicken to fish, including all treats, plus we did an allergy shot. When dealing with allergies, it's hard to tell whether it's food or environmental so we made changes to both and are happy to report her fur is finally healthy and has filled in, she has gained weight and is such a happy girl now! Any adopters need to be aware she may need ongoing allergy shots and no chicken products in her food!<br/><br/>Star is not only gorgeous but so very smart and knows several commands. She is also potty and crate trained which is always a bonus. In her previous life, she lived alone for at least 4 years with no dog socialization, so she is having to learn how to share toys, food, etc with other dogs. It may end up that she will do best as the only Queen in her Forever Home. But no worries with this big of a love you won't need another dog! Star will keep you busy playing endless fetch, getting and giving kisses and affection, going on her beloved car rides and being your main squeeze with snuggles!
