My story

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

When Spring is sprung, there is new life in the air. There is an awakening from slumber and a new cycle begins. When you have a young, sweet and affectionate litter of pups that exude those wonderful qualities, there is most definitely love in the air. The heart knows what the heart wants, and this sweet, four-month-old shepherd/basset hound litter knows what they want as well. You have never known love like this before until you have met Lotus. This little heart throb is full of life and at 30 pounds, he will grow bigger in the days ahead. He is estimated to be a medium size dog of up to 60 pounds when fully grown. What size he will tap out at is a guess for anybody. He is certain to be a fun loving, adventurous gal with lots of ambition for excitement.

His bubbly personality not only gets lots of attention, but it also draws in a crowd. When drawing in scores of people and other dogs, Lotus is first to extend his paw in the name of friendship. He enjoys interactions with other dogs, children and adults. He cannot get a big enough network of friends. Lotus has not had the pleasure of being introduced to a feline since coming into rescue. Perhaps he will have the opportunity in the future but for now his acceptance is unknown. Lotus will be delighted to frolic with other canines, run around in a secure area, relax with chew toys, etc. He has a bunch of charisma to charm all of his friends and family. He dreams of growing up and being a companion for long runs, hikes and swims. Maybe his future will be as a camping buddy. He would enjoy the camping experience with his family and tons of other interactions. Whatever his forever family does, Lotus will want to be right with them.

His house, crate and leash training are in progress, and he is learning all he can with taking one day at a time. He knows his family will provide him the love and support he needs to make his goals a success.

As with all puppies, Lotus is full of curiosity and wonderment, and is ready to grow from adorable puppy to amazing dog with the right guidance and patience. He will need a home with someone who has the time, desire and energy to train and socialize him so that he can become the perfect lifelong companion.

Take the opportunity to live in his world and cherish the love Lotus has to offer. He will bring sunshine and happiness whenever he goes.

The adoption fee for Lotus is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters are asked to complete an application to begin the adoption process. This valuable document helps us insure that we are finding the perfect match for both the dog and the family members. If your application looks like a good fit, you will be contacted by phone for an interview. This is an opportunity to learn more about the home life you offer and the known temperament and energy level of the dog that is available for adoption. In some cases we may find that a different adoptable dog may be more suitable for your lifestyle and would be brought to your attention. Next, you will speak with the previous foster families to learn more about the day to day needs and behavior of the dog as an extra measure to find the perfect match. In addition, your veterinarian will be contacted to confirm your dedication to the health and well being of your previous or current pets.
Finally DSR reserves the right to do a home inspection prior to the adoption approval.
While this may seem like a lengthy process it actually may only take a week or two. As a result you should only begin the adoption process when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home.
DSR makes every effort to insure our dogs are healthy, happy, and well cared for by our loving volunteers as they wait for their forever homes. All dogs are up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and receive a health certificate before being transported. Our adoption fee is $450 and every penny goes towards the rescue of dogs in need.

Go meet their pets

DSR's facility is located in Bloomfield, CT and is available by appointment only. We host adoption events every other week in the greater Hartford area. These are wonderful opportunities to meet all of our amazing adoptable dogs. Check out our Facebook page for the most up to date listing of upcoming events. Otherwise, dogs can be seen by appointment after completing the DSR application. Arrangements are made by the screening volunteer and coordinated with the foster family.

More about this rescue

Dog Star Rescue is a grass-roots effort started by a group of dog lovers with experience in the rescue world. The name Dog Star comes from the common name for the star Sirius, reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The symbolism of the star as a guide to a safe passage is what we strive to do for our adoptable dogs as we find them a new life with a loving family.
We work closely with shelters in the South as well as the New England states to save the lives of loving and loyal dogs who have lost their way and find themselves on death row. Our volunteers get these dogs the medical and emotional care they need so they can transition into a loving forever home. All of our amazing members are unpaid volunteers with a passion for helping dogs. They spend significant time each week helping guide dogs to a wonderful new life. If you ask our volunteers, they'll tell you they do it for a wide variety of reasons, including personal satisfaction in helping address a nation wide problem, their love of dogs, and a desire to have fun socializing with like-minded people. DSR is always looking for new volunteers to join our group so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of please contact us.
