Star is the instigator of play and chasings with the her brother Toby and foster sister Bonnie but is the first to submit, roll on her back and yell. She is typically playful puppy who loves to play tug and chew toys (and the furniture, shoes, socks…). A super smart little girl who has mastered sit and shake, very close to having drop, and will come when called 7 out of 10 times. She LOVES food and at the hint of it being meal time she will follow you around, sitting dutifully every time you stop moving, in the hope that the food is close by. She needs work with toilet training (she has accidents if I don’t watch carefully) but gets through the night about 6 hours without needing to get up.

Star has a level of independence that her brother Toby doesn’t yet,  and will happily take herself off to a bed to have a nap or find a chew. She is still learning about cats and does chase but is easily distracted away. Star and Toby spend 90% of their time with each other so while it would be lovely if they could stay together   she’d be fine with another playful (tolerant) puppy friend. Has preferred being outside chasing with a big 30+ kg dog rather than a smaller pug cross.

While you’re here – be sure to check out Star’s sibling Toby.

We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
