My name is
Starry Night!

My name is Starry Night! But you can call me Star. I am a female, 2-year-old heeler mix and I weigh about 50 pounds. I am a darling girl with such a winning temperament and personality. I have a great energy level; I enjoy a nice walk or run (I do very well on a leash), but I also enjoy cuddling up next to you for hours. I am intelligent and highly food motivated, that combination makes training me a cinch.

   I’m a quiet girl, and although I don’t love my crate, I will go in and not complain about it and sleep quietly all night. Occasionally if I don’t want to go in, then I will lay on my back and wag my tail as I stare up at you endearingly with my big brown doe eyes hoping that will do the trick! I was regularly crated in my foster home when I was new here but I have very much earned my freedom to roam the house as I am not destructive and have pretty good house manners. Since coming to be with my foster family I have never had an accident in my crate or in the house. I know that going potty is an outside activity. Without any training, only from watching my foster siblings, I picked up how to use the doggy door on my first day here.

I like my foster siblings, but I tend to play more of a motherly role, if they get too rambunctious, especially when near my foster mom, then by my choice I play the local sheriff and gently but firmly keep everyone in line. I also prefer to be the only dog getting attention, and smoothly push any other attention seekers out of my way. My foster siblings all respect this sheriff, even the more dominant dogs. I’ve heard a baby cry a few times in my foster home on something they refer to as “The T.V.” I am very sensitive to it and every time it happens, I perk up and look very prepared to go save that baby in need. My foster mom hasn’t seen me around kids yet, but I would probably do well with respectful kids. I could potentially do well around cats also.
