Hi there! I`m the young dog Starla, a bundle of energy transferred to this wonderful facility on May 8th, 2023. I have been here at the shelter longer than any other dog. I love to play and have the zoomies in the grass, and I love the water jets in the splash pad. The caretakers and trainers here say I`m very smart and know Stay, Come, and Lie Down. Even though I have lived here for so long and people are kind to me here, I really want a home and someone to love who understands me. Ask my behavior team about why I`m special and if we might be a good match. I have been spayed, microchipped and vaccinated! We strongly recommend calling the shelter between 11am and 4pm to discuss more details about my background with our behavior team!

We "go the extra mile" to help assure that, when you adopt a pet from HSVB&IRC, you'll be making an informed choice. By matching an animal's personality to yours and your lifestyle, we're more likely to assure that you make the right adoption decision the first time.
We are using a program developed by the ASPCA. It is called "Meet Your Match." Currently, we evaluate dogs and cats before we make them available for adoption.
Also, we ask each prospective adopter to complete an Adopters' Survey which helps identify factors in their lifestyle which might guide their choice of animals. Then, we compare the findings to make a match.
Proudly, we have a very high adoption retention rate — a fact we credit to taking this extra step in the adoption process.
We want you to make a "SAFER" choice, too.
In addition to Meet Your Match, HSVB&IRC has implemented the ASPCA’s Meet Your Match SAFER™ (Safety Assessment For Evaluating & Rehoming) program - a tool for assessing the probability of future canine aggression. Ask us for more details.
