Starfish's Story
Ahoy there! If you've been fishing around for the perfect pup, cast your net toward Starfish. With her adorable speckled brown spots, one warm brown eye, one striking blue eye, and an extra-long snoot that's perfect for nudging your hand when she wants more pets (which is often!), this sea-inspired sweetheart is ready to make waves in a loving home!<br/><br/>Starfish is truly as affectionate as they come. She lives for cuddles, happily snuggling beside you on the couch or in bed, and is happiest simply being with her people. If you stop petting her too soon, she'll gently nudge your hand as a polite reminder that the cuddle session isn't over just yet. Every reunion is the highlight of her day, even if you only stepped out to grab the mail! She celebrates with her signature "happy feet," doing the cutest tippy taps and joyful little hops that are guaranteed to make you smile.<br/><br/>This goofy girl is up for just about anything, as long as she gets to do it with you. Starfish always excited for a walk, enjoys relaxing car rides, loves playing fetch and collecting tennis balls like treasures from the deep, and takes her squeaky toy "rescues" very seriously (stuffing beware-she has an undefeated record when it comes to finding the squeaker). And when it's all done, peanut butter, naps, and even binge-watching Glee all rank among some of her other favorite hobbies.<br/><br/>Starfish already knows "sit" and "come," has wonderful manners, and has earned glowing reviews from her foster, who calls her "the most gentle, sweet dog I've ever met." Starfish would also especially love a home with a flexible schedule while she continues building confidence spending time on her own-but with a face this cute and a heart this big, you may find you don't want to leave her either!<br/><br/>Because of her bad knees, she sometimes appreciates a little boost onto the couch or bed, and she'll reward your kindness by snuggling as close as she possibly can. She's currently on medications to help keep her legs comfy and she will go home with a THREE MONTH SUPPLY CARE PACKAGE of those medications. <br/><br/>If you're ready to welcome a loyal, loving best friend who will fill your days with happy dances, endless affection, and plenty of laughs, Starfish is ready to drop anchor in your heart. Don't let this Starfish drift away, help her find her safe harbor-and she'll sea-ze every opportunity to remind you that life really is better with a little love from the ocean!<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>This dog is considered a mixed breed because it's not accurate to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>This dog is currently located at PAWS Grays Ferry Clinic, which is not a walk-in facility. In order to meet with any dogs at Grays Ferry, you will need to have a fully processed and approved application first.
