My story

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

Legend has it that the phrase "Dogs are a man's best friend" originated with Starfish. And now this fun, loving, and playful girl just wants to be YOUR new bestie.

Starfish loves walks and runs, chew toys, playing with people, and cuddling. She would make an excellent running or hiking companion for an active owner and a playful friend to any number of resident dogs.

She's great with all animals - dogs, cats-and has been wonderful with those little animals we call kids, too! She is eager to learn and train in a loving home environment, and would do well with a busy family who can bring her along to fun activities.

Starfish is truly one of a kind. She is an affectionate pup who wants to shower you with attention, kisses, and all of her loyalty and love. A true best friend!

If you are looking for a new fur buddy to make your heart sing and your belly laugh, apply to adopt Starfish!

We provide medical, behavioral and physical support for animals despite their age, health, and/or breed. At ALIVE Rescue, we promote sustainable living and care-giving by building awareness, appreciation and respect for all animals and the environment within our communities. We constantly work to educate the public on current animal issues, including the benefits of spaying/neutering pets.

Since our formation in 2008, ALIVE Rescue has rescued more than 1,600 animals in the Chicago area.
