Star, American Staffordshire terrier and terrier mix

Star is a female American Staffordshire terrier and terrier mix being kept at All Things Pawsible Animal Rescue.

Star will get along great with your cats. Her ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment. No need to worry: She's already house-trained. Star is spayed, microchipped and has had all her shots.

Here's what Star's friends at All Things Pawsible Animal Rescue think of her:

Star was found in a ditch by a canal in the street and rescued just in time. In foster care for a year now, Star is looking for her own forever family. This sweet, gentle girl loves to play with her toys, go for walks and snuggle up to her human. Because she was neglected and abandoned, she needs a home where she is the only female pet.

From Bobby's current caretaker:

Bobby is a 4-year-old Shiba Inu mix who is a confident little 25-pound rascal. He loves his foster mom and is a bit of a couch potato.
