My story

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

Laverne and her sister Shriley are going to do things their way to make their dreams come true. Leaving their jobs at the Milwaukee brewery, they have made their way to New England. They are determined and ready to take the next step out of their unknown past and right into the hearts of a family who will love and provide for them. Laverne is an 8-month-old labrador retriever mix weighing around 40 pounds. She is a growing girl, and it is estimated that she will be a large size gal of over 60 pounds when she is fully grown.

She is a bit shy and will need a moment or two to warm up, but she loves people and is super gentle. Laverne is hopeful and certain that she will find new friends just like she had with Lenny and Squiggy. She enjoys the company of other dogs and children and when not hanging around the Pizza Bowl she can be found exploring the outdoors and being adventurous. She has not had the opportunity to meet a cat since coming into rescue so her take on a feline companion remains an unknown. She does have a medium energy level, and she would do well in a fairly active family that will allow her many opportunities to play, explore and hang out with her family and soak up attention.

Love is front and center when it comes to Laverne. Along with that is determination and she is not turning her back on learning her house, crate and leash training as all three are in progress. Learning the ropes is part of life for any house canine companion. Laverne will need her family to guide her along the way and help her to be a success that we know she will be.

Making the perfect match is what Laverne dreams of. She is trading in her signature monogram shirt and looking to wear a name tag that pairs her with her forever family.

The adoption fee for Laverne 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.
