Here's what the humans have to say about me:
05/14/09: THIS LITTLE STAR WILL STEAL THE SHOW
Star is a petite nine month old deaf female who was surrendered to NBR by a family who was having difficulty with her training. Star was too focused on her sibling sister and was becoming a handful. They thought it would be best to find Star another home so each puppy could get individual attention.
Star is outgoing, not at all shy, and loves other animals and people. She is affectionate and likes to cuddle in your lap. She is very food motivated which helps with her training, and is doing well learning hand signals. Star likes to interact with everyone but she can also keep herself busy playing with her toys. House-training her has been easy.
Star weighs in at only 34 lbs, has a soft white coat, and has beautiful blue eyes. She was diagnosed with a minor case of non-contagious démodéctic mange prior to coming into rescue. We will have her examined by a vet to make sure she was prescribed the correct medical treatment. Star is spayed and will be ready for adoption once she gets a good report from the doctor.
Since Star is deaf she will need to be placed in a home with a securely fenced yard (invisible fencing will not be considered).
The first Update from Star’s Foster Family:
“My wife and I made a journey to meet Michelle, a boxer rescue volunteer. She helped with the transport of a deaf female boxer who has been named Star. Star was very excited to meet us (as we were to meet her) and she was extremely friendly. The ride home was very pleasant and enjoyable. Star sat on my wife's lap, slept or enjoyed the sights through the car window.
Upon arrival at our home, my other two dogs greeted Star without incident. My oldest dog, a mixed lab/shepard, introduced Star to the backyard and showed her the proper location for her duty. Star picked up on his signals very quickly.
The dogs bonded right away by playing together with toys, wrestling and ended up sleeping together. We are trying to establish hand signals for tricks, far away commands and alternatives when her back is turned.
Star met the cat on day three. They first looked at each other and then went their separate ways. The cat came out a little later and they checked each other out; nothing exciting transpired.
Star is adjusting and is overcoming a little bout with diarrhea, which is to be expected with the changes in her life. We took her for an outing at the beach and she really had a great time. Star seems to be adapting quickly. We will send another update as soon as we learn more about her.”
