Star Boy brings a sporty, athletic energy to every day, showing off his natural agility whenever he gets the chance to move. He is a truly active companion who completely transforms when he steps out into the open yard, running with a free, energetic stride that shows how much he loves to exercise. When he is having a blast, his tail points straight up like a happy antenna, signaling his pure joy in the moment. His beautiful brindle coat catches the light as he moves, highlighting a lean and athletic build that makes him a natural partner for outdoor adventures.

While the busy shelter environment can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming for him, Star Boy finds his confidence through movement and structured activities. He attends playgroups with other dogs, using that social time to channel his focus and burn off energy with his peers. Once he feels secure in his surroundings, his curious nature comes forward, and he enthusiastically accepts treats from his human friends. You might notice he currently has a condition known as a "cherry eye." While it gives him a unique look right now, it is completely harmless, painless, and not life-threatening. Our team already has a medical plan in place to get it surgically repaired; however, because the scheduling might take a little while, he is fully available to transition into a foster home or be pre-adopted while he waits for his procedure. He is a responsive and spirited young dog who thrives on routine, outdoor play, and space to explore, making him a wonderful match for someone looking to share an active lifestyle.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
