#pupdate Star has gone to a short term foster for a break and she LOVES being pet. Less than 24 hours outside of the shelter environment and she is a different dog! #fosteringsaveslives #SeniorSunday and #happynewyear with Star! 🌟 Star is absolutely terrified in the shelter. At 9 years old, she knows she doesn't belong in a kennel. She is shy, but enjoys going for walks. Progress in a loud scary shelter environment is extremely slow and Star needs a chance to see how she will do in a home. These notes can be crucial in helping to place her in a forever home. Star has been to playgroup and is polite and very mellow with other dogs. She also previously lived in a home with another dog. Star would do best in a home without small children as she comes out of her shell. Meet her at ACPS today! #acps #foja #adopt #rescue #foster #Star #senior #star #shydog
