ADOPT FROM STARS 

The STARS Adoption donation is $160.00 for all dogs

and $110.00 for all cats.

All STARS animals have been tested for heartworm and treated if necessary.  They receive all the appropriate inoculations for  their age, including Bordatella (Kennel cough). They are spayed/neutered and have received a thorough examination by one of our participating veterinarians.  You will be provided with all the paperwork and shot records. We do everything we can to ensure you are adopting a healthy, happy animal.

If you are approved for adoption, you will be required to provide heartworm protection for your adopted animal, and we will follow up to ensure that it is provided.  Failure to do so nullifies the adoption agreement, and the animal must be returned to STARS.

Please completely fill out and submit theAdoption Application Form if you are interested in one of our pets.  

If you have a SPAM filter or only allow recognized senders, I will not respond to your requests or application.

For additional information contact: Rescue@starspets.com

Once a dog or cat enters the STARS program,  they are tracked for life, so please don't ask us to adopt to anyone outside the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

Maggie is a gorgeous, calico, domestic short-haired cat that is approximately 3 years old.  She has done very well with dogs and other cats but because of her independent and feisty nature, she should not be in a home with children.  Maggie is definitely reserved and would not be much of a "lap cat". Just like most cats, she will take awhile to adjust to a change in her environment but she will be much more interactive with time and patience. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and is on heartworm/flea prevention.

"Spirit" - Spirit is the most lovable, sweet, affectionate tortoiseshell-colored Domestic Shorthair cat!  We estimate her age to be ~6 years old and she must have had a previous history of some sort of trauma because she is missing her left eye and her jaw appears that it might have been previously fractured.  None of that slows her down and she eats, drinks and lounges throughout most of the day.  All Spirit wants is attention :)  She has tolerated other cats and laid back dogs well. Spirit is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and on heartworm/flea prevention.
