Here's what the humans have to say about me:
STARLA***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com STARLA OUR "LAB PETITE" STARLA'S STORY--WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF A HIGH KILL SOUTHERN SHELTER LETTING US KNOW THAT AN ADORABLE LITTLE LAB GIRL WAS IN HER SHELTER. THE PUP THEY NAMED STARLA WAS FOUND WEARING A BEAUTIFUL COLLAR BUT THERE WAS NO TAG OR MICRO-CHIP. THE DIRECTOR FELT SURE HER FAMILY WOULD COME LOOKING FOR HER, THE SHELTER POSTED FLIERS, CONTACTED THE LOCAL VETS BUT AFTER A LITTLE OVER A WEEK NO ONE HAD COME FOR STARLA. "SHE IS JUST ADORABLE, SUCH A GENTLE, EASY GOING LITTLE GIRL,SHE ADORES EVERYONE THAT COMES INTO THE SHELTER, HER TAIL IS ALWAYS WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING. SHE DOESN'T BELONG HERE, CAN YOU HELP HER?" WAS THE DIRECTOR'S PLEA TO US. WHEN WE SAW THE FIRST PICTURE SHE SENT US OF THIS "SMILING" LITTLE GIRL WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. STARLA PRANCED RIGHT OUT OF THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, HOPPED RIGHT IN OUR CAR, PUT HER HEAD OUT THE WINDOW ALL READY TO BEGIN HER NEW LIFE. STARLA IS AN ADORABLE, 18 MO. OLD, YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX LITTLE GIRL. THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE IS HER COAT, IT IS FLAWLESS, A PALE PALE CHAMPAGNE COLOR ACCENTED WITH SNOW WHITE ON HER CHEST AND PAWS, HER COAT IS "CUDDLE" SOFT, IT LOOKS LIKE STARLA WAS DIPPED IN A BOWL OF VANILLA ICE CREAM. NEXT HER EYES ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WE HAVE SEEN. THEY ARE HUGE, A SOFT HONEY COLOR, THEY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE STARLA RIMMED THEM WITH MASCARA!! THEY HAVE A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION, THEY TRULY SEEM TO SHINE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN STARLA FIRST SEES YOU. STARLA IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION, HAPPY, DEVOTED AND EXTREMELY LOVING AN EASY GOING PUP WHO'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE SHE LOVES. SHE HAS THE GLOWING LABRADOR TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, AND IT IS THESE TRAITS WHICH MAKE THE LAB THE NUMBER ONE FAMILY COMPANION. SHE IS WHAT WE CALL A "CUDDLER", THE MINUTE YOU CALL HER NAME HER FACE WILL LIGHT UP, HER ADORABLE EARS WILL PERK UP AND OVER TO YOU SHE'S COMING, TAIL WAGGING, EYES TWINKLING, SHE WILL SNUGGLE AS CLOSE TO YOU AS SHE CAN GET, REST THAT GORGEOUS HEAD RIGHT IN YOUR LAP ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB, WHICH SHE ADORES, AS LONG AS YOU WILL RUB HER EARS STARLA WILL STAY!!!. SHE IS A PUP WHO SOAKS UP EVERY MINUTE WHEN GIVEN ATTENTION AND AFFECTION FROM THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HER--HER FAMILY. YOU COULD ALSO CALL STARLA "MISS SOCIAL" FOR SHE ABSOLUTELY ADORES ALL DOGS SHE GREETS WITH A HAPPY TAIL WAG AND HER "WANNA PLAY" LOOK . TAKE STARLA AND A DOGGIE BUDDY OUT IN HER YARD BRING SOME TOYS, A BALL AND WATCH THIS LITTLE GIRL HAVE FUN!!! STARLA IS HAPPY FROM THE MINUTE THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES POP OPEN IN THE MORNING TIL SHE SNUGGLES IN AT NIGHT TIRED FROM A FUN DAY OF PLAY. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLED FOR IS FINE WITH STARLA JUST AS LONG AS SHE GETS TO GO. START YOUR DAY WITH AN EARLY MORNING WALK TO THE DOG PARK JUST A CHANCE FOR STARLA TO MEET A NEW PLAY BUDDY. STARLA WILL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, TAIL WAGGING, HAPPY AND CURIOUS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS TO SEE ALONG THE WAY. JINGLE YOUR CAR KEYS BUT YOU BETTER BE QUICK STARLA WILL BEAT YOU TO YOUR SEAT, SHE WILL TURN HER PRECIOUS HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "COME ON WE'VE GOT PLACES TO GO, ERRANDS AROUND TOWN TO RUN. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO THE BEACH, BOY IS STARLA READY, SHE WOULD SPEND THE DAY CHASING "HER" BALL DOWN THE SHORELINE AND WE BET BEING A LAB JUMPING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY WAVE SHE COULD FIND TO COOL OFF!! THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE, STARLA IS SO SMART!!! SHE IS A PUP WHO IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH AND DELIGHTS IN PLEASING HER OWNER. SHE TRULY SEEMS TO SMILE(SEE PHOTO)WHEN SHE KNOWS SHE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT PLEASES THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HER, HER FAMILY!!! SHE IS INDEED AN "OPEN BOOK" A PUP WITH HUGE POTENTIAL. IT UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES OF HER BOOK WITH HUGS, PATS, KISSES, PLAY, BUT MOST IMPORTANT FILL HER BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY SHE IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A LITTLE GIRL WHO DEARLY LOVES HER FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HER BEING, A GENTLE, "LADY", A HAPPY GIRL WHO'S ONLY REQUEST IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE SHE IS AND LOVE HER. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU SETTLE IN TO READ A BOOK OR WATCH A MOVIE IN HER HOME STARLA CONTINUES TO SHINE, YOU WILL FIND STARLA CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET OR NAPPING ON A COOL KITCHEN FLOOR,THE LOOK ON HER FACE WILL BE ONE OF CONTENTMENT, SHE IS WITH HER FAMILY AND TO STARLA IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. WHEN IT'S TIME FOR BED STARLA WILL SNUGGLE ON HER BED JUST AS LONG AS IT'S AS CLOSE TO YOUR BED, IF STARLA IS WITH YOU SHE'S HAPPY.

YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY STARLA IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A TAIL WAG, WARM KISSES, A PUP WHO EVERY TIME SHE LOOKS AT YOU SHE HAS A LOOK ON HER FACE THAT SEEMS TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" SHE DOES!!!! WE FEEL AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH STARLA THAT SHE WOULD BE A DELIGHTFUL COMPANION FOR A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN THAT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE STARLA AS THEIR BEST FRIEND.
