Steph's wrinkles are too adorable and squishable! She is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 55 pounds. Here are a few nice facts about her: Such a pleaser Super sweet Is very in tune and attentive with her handler Outgoing Likes to lean in for love Playful Sits for toys and has a soft mouth relinquish Knows a solid sit and down, but does need a basic manners refresher Would do best in an active home Needs a home where any children are at least 8 years old She can't wait to find a family to love forever If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Steph would love to meet them. She has a soft, loose approach with other dogs with super cute play bows.

We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Story
I received Prince from a close friend who entrusted him to me during the final stages of her battle with cancer. He has been in my care since then and is a young adult dog who is well adjusted to a stable home environment. I am seeking a long-term living situation for him where he can continue to receive consistent care and affection. He is loyal, gentle, and very affectionate.

STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application.  Meet Stew — Professional Cuddler, Snack Enthusiast & Chew Toy Connoisseur Hi friends! I’m Stew, a handsome American Bully with a stocky build, soulful eyes, and a BIG personality. I’m all about full bowls, soft beds, and being someone’s best buddy. Let’s get one thing straight: mealtime is my FAVORITE event of the day. Breakfast? Incredible. Dinner? Elite. Snacks? YES PLEASE. I’m very food-motivated, take treats nicely, and love learning new things when snacks are involved. When I’m not thinking about food, you’ll find me happily gnawing on a chew toy or bone — I lovesssss them. I’ll proudly carry one around like a prized possession and settle in for a good chew session. Toys and bones keep me busy and very content. I’m a total sweetheart who enjoys being near my people and would do great with an active family that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures. I haven’t officially lived with other dogs or cats yet, but I’m not overly reactive and could do well with proper introductions. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, food-loving cuddle bug who’s always down for snacks, toys, and couch time — I’m your guy. Stew is ready for his forever home Apply to meet me today — I’m saving a spot on the couch just for you. All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped. AGE DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, most of the orphaned animals that come into our rescue looking for homes don’t bring birth certificates. Sometimes we know our pets’ ages. Sometimes we don’t. So we make our best guess based on the condition of their teeth and the veterinarians best guess.   BREED DISCLAIMER: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label . Microchips: For the safety of our dogs and peace of mind of our fosters and adopters, STAR microchips all dogs prior to adoption with Petlink Microchips. Please understand that all dogs MUST still wear a collar with ID tags (which include your current information) AT ALL TIMES. Please remember, our foster dogs are extremely important to us-- we will always take any of our dogs back, if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog. Never surrender him/her to a shelter!

Story
I found Belfor (Bell) in East side Detroit while at work, he was extremely malnourished, weighed around 50 lbs with ribs showing. Took him home, fed him, vet visits showed he had heart worms and other infections from eating garbage and cuts. The plan was to adopt him out right away but he stole my heart he was so sick. As he got better he started off with our full trust. As time went on he lunged and nipped a few people visiting our home and he was found to be very overly protective. He can't be trusted around strangers who come and visit our home but out and about he seems ok. He has been quarantined in our home because of fear he will hurt someone or an animal. Im not a great dog owner just someone who had a big heart for a hurting dog. He needs a better home where someone knows how to handle and take care of such a big dog. He weighs about 100 lbs.

Story
Granny Thelma and Lady Louise have been together their whole lives. They had the same owner who clearly loved them so much. They came into animal control after DPD picked them up from a call where their owner was DOA. Their owner truly did everything right — both girls are spayed, heartworm negative, and Thelma’s microchip shows it was implanted 13 years ago, when she was just a pup. They were very much house dogs, loved, and even a little chunky. He did everything right… just not outlive them. 💔 The shelter made a plea for them, asking please don’t let this be their final resting place… and no one stepped up. When we saw them again at the shelter, sad in their kennels, we figured — what’s two more temporary house guests at the senior center we’ve got going on right now? 🤪 And these two have been incredible house guests. They clearly know what it’s like to live in a home. They love the couch, dog beds, and being together. They’re potty trained, quiet, content, sweet as pie, and so far don’t need to be crated at all. They sleep peacefully curled up side by side. They enjoy the presence of the other dogs, especially calm old fart dogs like them. They are deeply bonded. When I gave Thelma (the older sister with hip issues) a bath, Louise climbed in and literally positioned herself between Thelma and the wall to help prop her up. 🥹 They’re almost always touching, and Louise gets frantic if Thelma wanders off without her. They don’t mind our dogs one bit, and I actually think living with other dogs could be really beneficial — Louise is going to be absolutely shattered when she eventually loses her sister. 😭 Both girls are overall healthy. Thelma is in the beginning stages of renal failure and has arthritis in her back hips — stairs and getting on/off the couch are hard — but she’s a determined old lady. Louise has fewer mobility issues but still prefers a little royal lift onto the couch. 😂 I know this is a big, big ask… but there has to be someone out there for two easygoing, gentle souls who’ve lost everything except each other.
