Got a thing for celebrities? Then Def Leppard is your dude! This jammin’ 5 month old, Boxer/Shepherd mix is a rock star in his own right, and is as charismatic as they come! But please don’t ask him to sign any autographs! ;-)

Def Leppard, or DL for short, is an absolute bundle of love. No matter who you are, the moment you step through the door, he greets you like you’re his favorite person. Friendly toward kids, the elderly, and other dogs, DL sees everyone as a potential new pal.

Curious, affectionate, playful, and unafraid, DL embraces new experiences with enthusiasm, excitement, and ease. He enjoys toys, romping around in the yard, being pet, sprawling out on your lap, and staying as close to his humans as possible. He displays a nice balance of going from high energy to super snuggliness. DL’s also a world class napper!

Pad-trained and crate-trained, DL has gotten the hang of both, although he’d much rather hang out with you than be left alone in his crate. Hey, can’t blame him for that! Treat motivated, incredibly smart, and eager to please, DL is learning the commands sit, come, bed, and down. This bright boy shows amazing potential and has a helluva future ahead of him.

DL would make an excellent family dog, given his sweet demeanor and adaptable nature. He’s not just a good boy…he’s a great boy…and anyone who adopts this fine creature is in for the treat of a lifetime!

If you would like to adopt this wonderful dog, please email [email protected] or visit www.pupstarz.org for an application!

If pipsqueaks are your thing, then check out Shadow Puppet, or Shadow for short, an adorable 4- month old, Chihuahua/Terrier mix who gets along well with humans, including kids, as well as other respectful dogs. If Shadow weren’t an only child and he could choose a fur sibling to live with, it would probably be an older, larger dog to help guide him along and show him the ropes, just like what you’d expect a big bro to do!

Shadow is still too young for outdoor walks, but he’s already pad trained and seemingly very smart. Highly treat motivated and very attentive, it’ll be both fun and rewarding to train this tiny tot. Shadow is just now learning how to share his food and space, and making great strides in both areas. Initially somewhat timid, this trusting ‘lil peanut has come a long way and definitely wants to be a good boy and do right!

A typical puppy, Shadow adores toys of all shapes and sizes and is extremely playful and spirited. When he’s not busy horsing around, Shadow is a total cuddle bug, looking for pets, massages, belly rubs, and caresses. As active as Shadow is, he does enjoy napping throughout the day, and when he falls asleep, he sleeps like a rock! Peace out, people!

If you have been thinking about adding a pint-size puppy to your life, Shadow would like to be…well, your shadow! ;-)

Say hello to Lucy, a petite 7-year old fluffer, who is somewhat shy at the moment, but ohhhh soooo sweeeeeet. Once this ‘lil angel settles in some more, her sweet and gentle personality will sparkle and shine. She just needs a little time to adjust.

Lucy is fully litter-box trained and keeps her beautiful coat neat and clean. She eats well and naps like a champ. Lucy gets along well with humans and she is fine around other cats. Dogs, ehhh, not so much…she can live without ‘em.

This lovely lady likes head pets, chin scratches, and ear rubs. Lucy deserves a home where she can chill out, be loved, gaze out the windows, sleep near her people, and feel secure in her new digs 24/7. Once you get to know her, bet ya you’ll be telling all your friends: I LOVE LUCY! -)

🚨FOSTER TAKEOVER NEEDED BY MONDAY🚨

If you’re looking for a senior dog who still has s***k and welcomes adventure - - but is also a couch potato when you’re at home - - then Nugget is your girl! This 10-year old, 55-pound Lab/Shepherd mix is sweet, loving, smart, and absolutely precious! And she’s 100% ready for YOU!

Fully housebroken and excellent at communicating when she needs to go out, Nugget has a predictable bathroom routine and never goes in the house. She is fine being left alone and not at all destructive inside the home. If you’re working from home, she will chill and snooze in her bed while you’re at your desk. When you pull out her leash to go for a walk, she’s right there, ready to go with you. She struts her stuff like a queen and has impeccable manners while out and about, never yanking at the leash or pulling to sniff at something, as well as being unfazed by strangers, other dogs, and city traffic. Way to go, Nugget!

Friendly to everyone, Nugget is lovely around humans, dogs, and likely cats too. Gentle and mellow, Nugget loves attention and affection, without being demanding. She is quite the chow hound, gobbling up treats and meals with enthusiasm and gusto. Nugget responds to the commands sit and place, and with additional training, she’s capable of learning many more words…especially if food is the reward.

Nugget is a beautiful love machine who deserves only the best. This mature lady doesn’t ask for much and appreciates absolute everything. One thing’s for sure: She’s guaranteed to love you to the moon and back.

Is this dude foxy or what? Meet Zorro, a handsome 13.5-year old, 9-pound Chihuahua mix who looks like more like a young fox than a senior dog!

Housebroken and good on a leash, Zorro does all his business outside, even in inclement weather which he clearly does not like. If you expect him to brave the elements, this proper prince will look to you to dress him in a rain coat and/or booties! And you’ll never see anything cuter!

With an energy level on the lower side, Zorro has playful moments throughout the day, but overall, is pretty chill. Naps? He absolutely loves ‘em! Zorro has a few toys that he likes, but loses interest after a few minutes. Food is this guy’s first love! If you’re eating it, he wants a taste. If he can’t get you to share, he’ll lick up your crumbs. No need for a dust buster with this furry vacuum cleaner nearby! Your floors will always be clean!

Zorro is okay with other respectful dogs, but would prefer not to share his space/home with them. Cats, no thank you. Kids, nah, too unpredictable. Zorro tends to latch on to one specific human and will give that person 150% of his love and devotion. That person will be the sweet soul who’ll be Zorro’s cuddle-buddy, his snuggle-mate, his couch companion, his petting partner, and his loving, loyal, best friend for life.

Zorro has certain anxieties about having his food, his people, or his possessions threatened or taken away. Reactive and barky, he has been working hard at curbing these guarding behaviors, which, once you become familiar with them, are fairly easy to predict and/or avoid. As such, Zorro would benefit from a calm, quiet, adult-only home where his quirks could be well-managed, thus allowing his true inner self to sparkle and shine.

Capable of listening and learning, Zorro has mastery of several commands including sit, lie down, stay/wait, look at me, and come. He also travels like a pro. He looovvves car rides!

What’s cuter than a tiny female kitten wearing a furry plush tuxedo suit? Nothing! Meet Candy, a 4 month old, 4lb, black-and-white kitty who is just the cutest thing everrrr!

Candy enjoys being near her trusted humans, and has been opening up more and more with each passing day. She is lovely around adults, kids, and other cats…particularly her sister Ivy with whom she is currently being fostered.

Litter-pan trained and very clean, Candy practices excellent personal hygiene and keeps her calf shiny and bright. She has a healthy appetite and she has a special fondness for smelly treats. Go figure!

Candy goes crazy for foil balls, feathers, fake mice, and anything else she can chase. She is curious, yet cautious, slowly learning that it’s actually very nice to be pet, scratched, and picked up. With a little time and a lotta love, Candy will continue to open up and grow into the amazing, trusting, confident cat she was always meant to be.

Candy would be a terrific addition to any home, and an even more terrific one, if adopted with her sweet sister Ivy. :-)

FOSTER TAKEOVER NEEDED

You can call this cute-pie Hialeah, or you can call her Holly. She might even respond to the name Fluff, since that kind of tracks, as well! Whatever you wanna call her, this utterly gorgeous 1-year old, 35-pound Australian Shepherd mix is housebroken, walks well on a leash, lovvvves being outside, and travels like a champ. What an easy way to start a relationship!

Treat-motivated and highly intelligent, Holly listens when you tell her to sit and come, and she’s absolutely committed to - - and capable of - - learning more. Generally quiet, Holly only barks and goes a bit bonkers when passing by another dog. She’d perhaps be okay around other pooches of equal size or smaller, after a slow and proper introduction, but being an only pet in the household would probably suit her just fine.

Holly is super cuddly and affectionate with familiar humans, but given her somewhat timid nature, she prefers to be the one to approach strangers, as opposed to them approaching her first. Once she deems you a friend and has the confidence, she will request head pets, chin scratches, and ear massages all day long! Once you get to know her, she’s a total cuddle bug.

With an activity meter set squarely in the center, Holly is equal parts playful and chill. She likes to romp around and enjoys stimulation, but she also loves to chill out and relax. You kind of set the tone, and this sweet sugarplum will follow your lead. Just picture hanging out next to this soft warm creature with white fluffy hair and an adoring gaze? Irresistible!

Introducing Zendaya, a gorgeous 3-year old, 19-pound Beagle/Terrier mix who is housebroken, pad trained, crate trained, not at all barky, and well-mannered on a leash. How amazing does THAT all sound?

Zendaya loves humans, dogs, neck rubs, and sorts of toys. So, pretty much everything! She is equal parts playful and mellow, depending on the situation. Zendaya enjoys treats and listens when you tell her no. She shares her possessions with ease and seems to be an overall very easy-going gal.

Friendly and curious, Zendaya likes meeting people and pooches out on the street. She seems eager to play with other dogs but doesn’t currently live with a dog who is interested in monkeying around with her. But she keeps trying! ;-)

Zendaya is a terrific little dog who comes fully loaded with so much good stuff. She is small enough to take anywhere and calm enough to get along with everyone. She’s a real catch!

Ever hear of a cat who is funny and full of sunshine? Well, now you have! Meet Funshine, a 8 month old, kitty who is snuggly, upbeat, curious, happy and hilarious!

Funshine is a tiny fur-ball with a big purrrrsonality. She is super playful, she goes nuts over every imaginable toy, and she loves to wrestle and chase other kittens. When she’s not busy playing, she turns into a little love machine. She thrives on attention, she loves being touched, she will nap on your lap, and you can stroke/scratch her anywhere. And she purrs like an engine!

Litter-box trained, very clean, and a good eater, Funshine takes care of her bathroom business, keeps her coat nice and shiny, and eats whatever you put in front of him. SHe also appreciates treats!

If you’ve been thinking of adding a sweet, soft, loving ‘lil kitten to add a little spice to your life, Funshine is your girl!

Why a big goofy grin this fella has! Introducing Black Crow, an energetic 9-month old, 42 pound, Border Collie/Cattle dog mix who is charming, friendly, and sweet toward adults, kids, and all other dogs with whom he loves to play. He’s just a furry package of fun!

Black Crow enjoys being outside and going for walks. He’s still perfecting his housebreaking skills and his leash manners, but with each passing day, he is getting better and better. Attentive and alert, Black Crow is responsive to treats, which has been helping with his training, and he has already aced the command sit, and nearly aced the command come. Way to go, Crow!!!

When Black Crow isn’t playing with his beloved toys or romping around outside somewhere, he turns into a major lover boy, looking for head pets, belly rubs, ear scratches, and body massages. Black Crow is an excellent sharer, and infrequent barker, and not a picky eater. He is more on the active side and looks to go outside often, but overall, he’s really kinda very easy!

Black Crow still has a lot of puppy in him, but as he matures, he’s only going to become even more amazing. He is gentle with children, he has a calm temperament, and he’s as cuddly and cute as a teddy bear. What a catch!
