The STARS Adoption donation is $175.00 for all dogs 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. We do a home visit to ensure adequate security and compatibility, after your completed application is approved. 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 Want to see some of our recent Adoption Success Stories. Click Success Stories.
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. It is STARS policy NOT to adopt out to familes with children under five years old. Scroll down for Dogs that are Available for Adoption If you don't see something you like here,please go to our LINKS page and visit the Petfinder link. |
ALERT: If you don't have a vet or don't have a good vet record, please do not apply. We check every vet record and do
not adopt to people who fail the vet check. (i.e. no heartworm preventative, no shots, intact animals in the home, etc.)

As far as other animals go, he has done fine with cats but he definitely likes to be the boss around other dogs so a household with a more submissive dog or no dogs would be ideal.

Sinatra is a beautiful, white Lhasa-Apso that has had a very tough life so far. He came out of the woods and followed a lady home that was walking her dog. She was kind enough to catch him and call animal control. When he arrived at the shelter he looked and smelled like a badger after a hard winter. When a very kind lady came into the shelter and groomed him, they found a very, very skinny Lhasa under all that hair and filth. It took him a few days to realize he wasn't lugging around 10 or 15 pounds of filthy coat. It took him a while and he still eats very fast, but he is looking 100% better than he did a couple months ago. He is now very playful and sweet as can be. He has gained a bunch of weight and is now the perfect size at about 17 - 18 pounds. His coat is gorgeous and he is beginning to trust people. He loves other dogs and plays with everyone. He was named Sinatra for his big, blue eyes, but he is also answering to Frank. Are you looking for a great little dog that surely deserves and wonderful, loving home? |
