Starr Has Arrived in Wisconsin and Is Settling In

Starr came to Mutt Life Dog Rescue from a high-risk shelter in Arkansas, where she spent most of her young life waiting to be noticed after arriving at just around five weeks old. As part of the Packer Litter of five, Starr waited months for her chance to leave the shelter behind. She has now safely arrived in Wisconsin and is settling nicely into her foster home.

Meet Starr

Starr is a brown Lab mix who is approximately seven months old and weighs around 35–40 pounds. She is sweet, friendly, and loving, with a gentle personality that shines despite her difficult start. Starr is dog friendly and kid friendly. While she has not been cat tested, her young age suggests she would likely do well with cats given proper introductions.

Having grown up in a shelter environment, Starr is just beginning to learn what home life is all about. She will need continued help with potty training, crate training, and leash manners. Starr is eager to learn, eager to please, and will thrive in a home that offers patience, consistency, guidance, and love.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗿 is shy but gains confidence from other dogs. She is warming up and beginning to show her puppy side is still there. Potty training is going great, and she loves to give gentle kisses and follows me everywhere. She will thrive in a patient, gentle, and calm environment where she can continue to build trust at her own pace

2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
​3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure its the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse $150 for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. We recommend going to HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI for the most affordable option. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, that works too!
