My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Starsky, one half of the Starsky and Hutch duo.

Starsky and Hutch were born on December 18, 2023. Their momma, Maggie, was rescued from a hoarding situation in North Carolina. Starsky and Hutch are Dachshund/ Chihuahua mix with possibly some corgi thrown in. They were both born with little bobtails like their mother.

Starsky is the biggest of the two weighing in just 3 lbs. 13.4 oz. at 6 weeks old. We suspect he will be no bigger than 15 lbs. when fully grown.

He is a little shy with new people but once he trusts you he is a little lap sitter. Starsky is doing a good job with puppy pad training and he will cry to get up on the couch.

Starsky is fostered in Millington, Maryland.

Please note:
We review veterinary care for applicants. This includes regular well visits, up-to-date and consistent core vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm and tick-borne disease testing, and regular monthly heartworm prevention.

You MUST contact your vet to permit them to speak to us for the vet check BEFORE we call them. We will not be able to call veterinarians multiple times and we would hate for an application to be turned down because no authorization is on file with the vet.

For unaltered puppies, adopters without a solid dog vet history will have an additional $200 adoption donation and a distance restriction. After submitting proof from the vet that the puppy is altered within the given timeframe, this extra donation (spay/neuter deposit) will be returned to the adopter.

Often young puppies have only had ONE vaccine and do not have sufficient immunities to be in public places. These puppies are “paws off the ground.” They cannot be walked or in public spaces. Any adopter must have an area for the puppy that is "private" and that has not been exposed to Parvo (stays in the ground for 1 year) or other diseases the puppy could be infected from.

Puppies cannot be crated for more than their age in months plus 1 hour. Regular potty breaks will be needed to house-train your puppy. Please make proper arrangements and let us know what these arrangements are when you apply.

Application can be found at www.puppypawsrescue.org

If your application meets our adoption criteria, we will contact you within 1 week. You will then be asked to schedule an interview and virtual home visit. Please check your SPAM folder for emails from PuppyPawsRescue. Due to the volume of applications, applications that do not move forward to an interview, may not hear back from us within that time frame.

Our team is an all-volunteer team, managing families, our paying jobs, households, foster dogs, application processing, interviews and home visits, follow-up, transports, and much more. We ask that you be courteous and patient with us.
