My story

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

When it comes to our girl, seeing red means you are seeing a wonderfully beautiful and sweet girl. Meet our girl Red and you will agree that happiness comes in the form of this great canine. Red is a labrador retriever mix with the most stunning and soulful eyes. She makes her way into rescue after being found abandoned with her puppies and with the help of a kind person, she found her way to us. She is a young girl at around two years of age and is a medium size of around 44 pounds. She has a very loving nature and now that she has all her puppies spoken for by adoption, it is her turn to find a loving home as well.

Red can be shy when meeting new people, so a gentle approach, kind words, and a soft pat will help her to trust. She does well with other dogs and people but has not had the opportunity to meet young children or cats since coming into our care. What we do know is that she is loyal, highly intelligent and very observant of her surroundings. One of her favorite activities to do is to be fetching a tennis ball. She will look at the thrower to say sit, stay and then go. She follows the commands and at the word go will chase down the ball and bring it back.

She is learning the ropes of house training and is fully crate and leash trained. Red knows the command of potty outside so with more practice and patience she will get the hang of it in no time at all.

If you are looking for a travel companion, Red might just be your gal as she enjoys going for car rides. With her medium energy level, Red will enjoy one adventure after the other. She looks forward to being an active companion with lots of time with her family. Take a chance on Red and she will not disappoint.

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

To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today.

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.
