Hi!! My name is Alberta! My foster family calls me "Allie" I am a Shepard/Chow mix. I am about 18 lbs. of lovable fluffiness! I was very scared and shy when I first came to meet my foster family, but they showed me a lot of love
and patience ...now I love all the attention! I love giving kisses and getting puppy scratches. I love children even more because they let me kiss and cuddle with them. I am working hard at going potty outside, and my foster mom says I am learning very quickly. She lets me go potty and then she says "Good girl!!" and I get a treat. But I just love when she gives me lots of love! I quickly learned to sit and even give paw. My foster mom was very excited about that! I live with 3 other dogs, one who is a puppy herself, and we all get along very well. We even squeeze on the couch and sleep together(we're only allowed on one part of the couch). I love to play and run around outside with them. I'm still a little scared of the leash, but after a while I am ok with it. Mom says I'm doing well with it for being a puppy. I also live with a cat,and I'm curious about her,but she keeps to herself, so I leave her alone. I listen very well, and when my foster mom says "Ah, Ah, Ah" or "No, no no", I stop and listen. I love to be with everyone all the time, even cuddling on a lap!! When my family is gone, I stay in the kitchen and use potty pads if needed. My Mom says that I have the softest and silkiest fur she's ever seen and when I perk my ears, she says I'm just too cute!! She doesn't think I will be a very big dog, as I don't have big paws. About 40 lbs. Maybe!! I need a family who will be patient with me as I learn and shower me with love everyday!!

The adoption fee of $450.00 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. Although we make the best guess on the breed and size of our dogs, because they come from shelters, we can never be completely certain of the genetic makeup of the dog. All we can tell you for sure is that they are 100% RESCUED!

If you are interested in adopting, please visit our website at www.starfishanimalrescue.com. Once you complete and submit your dog adoption application we will set up an appointment to meet this pup! Alberta is being fostered in Wilmington, IL.
