My personality

My story

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

Want to feel understood? Starr is your girl.

This gorgeous 2-year-old German shepherd is a great listener -- her ears were built to hear anything you want to tell her, and she won't tell anyone else!

She's gentle, sweet, and loves soft ear scratches and a good cuddle. She might seem aloof at first, but so can a lot of wonderful people who are shy, as she can be. Give her a little time and you'll see the amazing girl we see.

* Warms gradually to new people.
* Super loving once bonded
* Needs to be your only dog at this time

As one volunteer who walked her said, "Once she relaxed, she let me know that she loves ear gentle scratches and is a snuggle bear. Very delicate and gentle. She is an amazing girl."

Starr has had mixed reactions to other dogs. At least for now, she needs an adopter who has no other pets.

Did you know FAAS provides $200 of dog training to all canine adopters?
