My story

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

Kiwi can be a fruit or a bird and now the name belongs to a beautiful pup on her way to Connecticut to find a forever home. Cream colored Kiwi and her gorgeous sibling Cabbage are 5-month-old mixed breed Huskies. They are on their way to find their forever homes and families.

Kiwi has a typical Husky coat, smooth and thick so she can romp around and roll in the snow once winter descends on New England. Kiwi is a shy girl and will need time to adjust to new environments but will also seek comfort and security in her crate. She has plenty of growing to do and it is estimated she will be a medium sized dog (31-60 pounds) when she is done growing. She is currently 40 pounds. Dogs and children are great companions for Kiwi. Whether she is comfortable with cats is not known currently.

Kiwi is working on her leash training but has perfected her house and crate training. A great start for a young gal and that is only the beginning for her. She will enjoy lots of walks, runs or hikes so she can have exceptional leash skills as well. It is important to remember that although she is house trained, accidents can occur while she is adjusting to a new home environment.

Kiwi is traveling a long way from her days as a stray and is eager to make new friends, have new adventures and become the beautiful girl that everybody stops to marvel over. If you have the time and patience to train and teach this adorable pup, bring her home, take plenty of photos as she grows, and be rewarded with loads of love from Kiwi.

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

Adoption application

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.
