good things come in small, shy packages, though she is starting to come out of her shell faster than you can say treat. Shortcake currently weighs 34 pounds making her a medium sized pup. Shortcake arrived at the rescue with what we believe is her sister, and together they are on a journey to find a family that loves a little mellow mischief. While she has got a gentle, reserved personality, do not let that fool you, she has got a playful side that is just waiting to shine, especially when it involves snuggling. Shortcake enjoys the company of other dogs and children. Her favorite activity? Getting pets from everyone who greets her, she is basically a professional cuddle enthusiast in training. Shortcake has not had the opportunity to meet any cats, so it is unknown how she will be with them. Her house, leash, and crate training are all in progress, and she is making fantastic strides. She is basically the puppy version of slow and steady wins the race. Shortcake is looking for a family that understands her gentle spirit and is patient as she continues to blossom. A home with a calm environment, plenty of love, and maybe a sibling or two to play with would be perfect. So, if you are ready to add a little sweetness to your life and help Shortcake become the confident, cuddly pup she is meant to be, she is your girl. Because when it comes to finding her forever family, this little Shortcake is ready to be the cherry on top of your life! * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Shortcake is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us. If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
