Bert is approximately 1 year old, plott hound/lab mix, 40 pound ball of snuggles. If you’re in a recliner he’s up there with you snuggling away and asleep within minutes. He walks great on a leash, even does great on slow bike rides with the leash! We have not brought him around kids or cats but he is fantastic with our dogs! We believe he would be best fit in a home with at least another dog that can keep up with his energy. If not, then he needs to be with a family who can play with him. He has been doing super well with potty training. He can sit, shake, knows “kennel up”,  and give kisses on command. He will need to be in a home where someone is home so that he can benefit from continued training and socialization.  Bert truly is the melt-iest love bug out there. He loves doing “mouth snappies” and will never bite you even if you put your hands in his mouth! Trust me we’ve tested it! It will truly be heartbreaking seeing Bert go but he deserves his forever family! 

If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet!

The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
