Meet Whammy

Meet Whammy!  Whammy is about 8 lbs and was born in mid February. We are guessing he is some terrier mix, but we can tell you  he is absolutely 100% adorable!  He will probably be a mid-sized guy, but we don't know for sure. He is working so hard on potty training, and he's almost got it. He's great with other dogs, while he's never had a chance to meet a cat, I don't anticipate him having trouble with one. He's great with kids, but he is a BABY so  he has the puppy teeth. We would love for him to have another dog in the family, as he needs to learn how to dog, or he needs someone who will be home with him all day. He loves to play with toys, and no low hanging towel is safe from him to drag around the house. He loves to cuddle and play with you, but then lay near you or in his bed when it is time for him to nap. He sleeps all night in his crate without an issue. 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 $500 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    

Adoption Process
Interested adopters need to complete a pre adoption application. This can be found on our website at www.starfishanimalrescue.com - we schedule meet and greets with approved applications only. We do home visits and vet checks. If you have questions about our adoption process please email us at [email protected]

Look for other dogs for adoption!
