Use this site to navigate the the first few days, weeks and months with your new Dog Star alum.
Thank you for choosing to rescue, and for choosing Dog Star Rescue. You have helped not only give a home to a rescue dog, but you have also made room for another dog to be saved and placed in a temporary home. We are so honored that you have chosen to adopt a dog through our rescue and are excited to have you be among more than 8,000 families who have chosen to adopt through our rescue. To ensure a successful transition into your home, please spend time reviewing this site. We are always happy to field any questions you may have as well. Remember that this is a big milestone for both you and your new dog, so please give them the time they need to adjust. Again, welcome to our family and congratulations!
First Week
Your first week with your new dog is all about both of you adjusting and settling in. Remember – this is a big deal for both you and the dog so patience is key.
If you love what we do, please consider pawing it forward. Learn more about making a one-time donation, monthly donation, or taking advantage of a corporate match program. Every penny helps paw it forward and save more lives.
