💚 FEATURED DOG: MILO 💚

Today we're shining a spotlight on handsome Milo, a striking shepherd mix who has been waiting for five weeks to be scooped up!

Milo is super friendly, eager to learn and has a happy disposition. He is a great mix of play & chill, and loves to go on walks, play with toys and chill on the couch.

❤ Make Milo yours and learn more about him here: https://us15d.sheltermanager.com/service?method=animal_view&animalid=5708&account=ha1977

June’s Dog Star of the Month is the one and only Cash-Money!🤑💰💸

Cash has been in our rescue for around 18 months, and has been overlooked mostly because he has a habit for talking at events (he just really likes treats, okay!!!)

Cashy is ultra cool, calm and collected. He brings an air of confidence and charm, and is a fantastic puppy wrangler and best sidekick. He’s excellent with other dogs and would make for a great farm dog.

Cash would love a chill home where he isn’t smothered. He’s loyal, sweet and looks AWESOME in a leather jacket (swipe for pics!).

Learn more about Cashy at dogstarrescue.org ❤️

Looking for an older pup? We have many in our rescue right now waiting for their forever homes! The great thing about these dogs is that they are past the puppy stage, and typically have their manners & training down. ✅

You can meet most of these dogs at our upcoming adoption events - we have THREE events this weekend! (We'll post the list of dogs in attendance for each event on our socials.)

❤ Start your journey with us at dogstarrescue.org.

A few days ago, WFSB - Channel 3 Eyewitness News highlighted the heartbreaking 💔 animal abandonment crisis unfolding right here in Hartford. When these dogs needed help, Dog Star Rescue stepped up.

Thanks to the incredible support of Hometown Foundation Inc., who generously sponsored our ability to bring some of these dogs into rescue, we are able to continue providing lifesaving care and a path to a brighter future for animals in need right here in our own backyard.

We are proud to be part of the solution, but as a 100% donated funded and volunteer based organization we cannot do it alone. Whether you can adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, or advocate for animals in need, every action helps save lives. For more information on how you can get involved, please contact us at [email protected].

Together, we can make a difference for Connecticut's most vulnerable dogs.

Abandoned dogs are highlighting the city's growing dumping problem.
