Meet Shorty: Your New Best Friend!

Shorty is a 1-2 year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix with a personality as big as his name is small! At just 10 pounds soaking wet, he’s the perfect little floof to snuggle up with on the couch or take along on adventures.

Shorty loves making friends with other little dogs, and his playful energy will have everyone wagging their tails in no time. However, he’s not a fan of cats, so he’d do best in a feline-free home.

This pint-sized pup is looking for his furever family—a loving home where he can shine as the loyal, affectionate companion he was born to be. Could you be the one to give Shorty his happily ever after?

Shorty can’t wait to meet you and start his next chapter. He may be little, but his love is enormous!

If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , 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 $450 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.
