My story

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

Meet Basie, a 14-month-old Rat and Russell Terrier mix with a hint of Norwegian Elkhound—though he's yet to catch an elk! Weighing in at 23 pounds, Basie is full of energy and personality. He’s potty trained and sleeps through the night (though prefers to skip the crate). Basie knows commands like sit, stay, down, and spin, and is highly food-motivated, making him a quick learner.

While he's still working on leash manners due to some reactivity (especially around dogs and squirrels), he's a work in progress. Basie would thrive as the only dog in a home with kids aged 12 and up, where he can soak up all the attention. He loves being outdoors, so a fenced yard is a must to let him burn off his energy. With a high prey drive and a love for cuddles (on his own terms), Basie is looking for an experienced owner ready to continue his training and build a strong, trusting bond. If you’re ready for an affectionate, smart, and spirited companion, Basie could be the perfect fit for you!

The adoption fee of $1 50 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet!

Go meet their pets

We are not a shelter. We are a group of pet lovers and advocates who are committed to targeted rescue. Starfish Animal Rescue is a licensed rescue that is run by an all volunteer staff.
Once we rescue a dog or cat, it is placed in one of our foster homes until we are able to find it a suitable home. We are happy to set up an appointment to meet our pets once we receive and review your completed application.

We do our best to process applications quickly but please understand that we are a foster based rescue and that our volunteers work jobs; many are full time. Sending in a completed application is the best way to facilitate this process. You can go on our website www.starfishanimalrescue.com and download an application
Once your application is reviewed, we will put you in contact with the dog's foster family to set up a time to meet the pet of your choice!
Thank you for supporting our rescue and what we are trying to accomplish in southeastern Kentucky.
