Hi my name is Cardinal! I am about a year old male lab/terrier mix weighing in at about 40lbs. Because of my age I can be a ball of energy, but with that said I also love to cuddle up on the couch for long naps. I can be a bit shy at first, but once I warm up to you I’ll always want to be by your side. When it comes to other pups I also can be a bit shy at first but once I warm up we could play all day. I am still working on my basic commands but I learn quicker with a pup who already knows the ropes and can show me how it's done. My foster mom thinks I’d be better off with a fenced in yard as I love to explore the yard and sun bathe in the grass. I haven’t been around kids or cats so I am not sure how I feel about them. I think I’d do better with another dog but I also love to be the center of attention so I should be okay by myself. I’m still working on my confidence but my foster mom thinks I’ll be the perfect addition to anyone willing to help me build it up.

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.
