Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: SPONSORED. STAR is a foster-based rescue. All our rescue animals stay in foster homes until adoption. We do not have a central facility. If you want to meet any of our adoptables please submit an application. Meet Gnocchi – The Underdog Who’s Been Waiting 5 Years for His Someone Five years ago, Gnocchi’s life was saved just in time—he was hours away from being euthanized at a high-kill shelter. Scared and unsure, he came into our care... and somehow, he’s still here. Not a single application. Not even a question. It’s like the world forgot about him. His foster mom loves him more than anything, but wants more for him. Now around 8 years old, Gnocchi isn’t flashy. He’s not the life of the party. He’s more of a homebody with an old soul—content with a quiet routine, a soft place to land, and the occasional belly rub. He’s not clingy, but he does enjoy affection in his own time. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and down, and he’s fully house-trained. He’s also respectful—doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t and doesn’t try to escape a fenced yard. Gnocchi would thrive in a calm, adult-only home—maybe with a bachelor or a couple who understands the value of a quiet companion. He’s dog-friendly but isn’t looking to make a ton of friends. He walks okay on a leash, but he’s a strong boy at 80lbs, so he’ll need someone who can handle his size. He doesn’t mind storms or loud noises. He doesn’t need constant attention. He’s okay if you work long hours. He really doesn’t ask for much—just food, love, and a few gentle pets. Gnocchi is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known medical concerns. He’s just... overlooked. Forgotten. One in a literal million. Waiting for someone to notice the quiet gem he is. We know his perfect person is out there. It may feel like a needle in a haystack, but Gnocchi deserves to be someone’s one and only. Could it be you? All STAR animals come vetted, Up to Date (UTD) on age appropriate shots and testing, spay and neutered (if of age,) and microchipped. AGE DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, most of the orphaned animals that come into our rescue looking for homes don’t bring birth certificates. Sometimes we know our pets’ ages. Sometimes we don’t. So we make our best guess based on the condition of their teeth and the veterinarians best guess. BREED DISCLAIMER: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label . Microchips: For the safety of our dogs and peace of mind of our fosters and adopters, STAR microchips all dogs prior to adoption with Petlink Microchips. Please understand that all dogs MUST still wear a collar with ID tags (which include your current information) AT ALL TIMES. Please remember, our foster dogs are extremely important to us-- we will always take any of our dogs back, if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog. Never surrender him/her to a shelter!
