Meet Starla! This adorable girl is a total sweetheart and a real head-turner: whenever our volunteers take her out for a walk or a hike, passersby always want to stop and say hello. And she doesn’t mind the attention one bit!
Starla’s compact and petite but still weighs about 45 lbs. We think she’s about 5 years old, but she has the goofy smile and soft fur of a puppy.Starla loves to play and is well behaved on leash. She is curious but polite with other dogs and humans, and has been very gentle when encountering children and even babies. She’d be a perfect fit for a family that’s moderately active and likes taking lots of leisurely walks and hikes. Afterwards, she’ll happily snooze in the back seat of the car, accept belly rubs, and dole out face licks.We think Starla would do great in a home with a male dog companion about her size or larger. She loved playing with her bestie, a young male shepherd mix named Jett (who recently got adopted)) — but she would probably also be OK as an only dog.While Starla is generally very dog- and people-friendly, we have noticed certain situations can stress her out and cause her to become protective of her space or her people. We believe she could overcome this issue with some guidance from an experienced dog owner and possibly some training.To meet this beautiful, sweet girl, fill out an application and a volunteer will reach out to you!
