Sweet English Bulldog, Johnny Cash, is looking for a forever home! While he’s still working on his agility skills, he’s already mastered snoozing on the couch, and has an adorable little snore. He’s potty trained, LOVES car rides almost as much as he loves children, is good with dogs and even cats! When left alone, he just snoozes, zero separation anxiety. And while he loves going on walks, he prefers to keep them short :)
You can apply to adopt him at our website starcritters.org

Meet Twilight ✨
Twilight is a truly special girl — a rare black pug mix with striking, mystical blue eyes that will stop you in your tracks. Rescued from the streets of Union City, she’s clearly grateful for the simple comforts of a warm bed, regular meals, and gentle human care.
At about a year old, Twilight weighs roughly 15 pounds and should fill out to a healthy 18 -20 pounds with continued good nutrition. She’s on the shy side at first, but don’t let that fool you — once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines. She warms up quickly and is happiest soaking up cuddles and belly rubs.
One of Twilight’s most endearing traits? She doesn’t bark. Instead, she has the softest, most tender little howl — a quiet way of expressing herself that only adds to her charm.

Twilight is potty trained, friendly with other dogs, good with cats and gets on well with respectful children.

She was spayed and had cherry eye surgery today and will soon be available for adoption. Adoption applications can be completed on our website: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PECO/Dog

Exactly one year ago, Plato was picked up as a stray in Richmond. An underweight old man with terrible skin (open sores and caked with dead fleas and dirt), a couple of masses, an old spinal injury that left him with a wobbly gait and partially incontinent, and teeth so worn that could only be explained by years of gnawing on some kind of metal (kennel bars, a chain, who knows). His family never came for him and he quickly found himself on the euth list. STAR pulled him in the nick of time.

A STAR volunteer initially fostered and eventually adopted Plato. The masses were removed, his skin condition is under control with medication and regular baths, and this senior boy is living out his final chapter in comfort and with lots of love—how it should be! His mobility has deteriorated in the past couple of months, but he loves zipping around in his doggy wheelchair.

Through it all, Plato remained as sweet as can be—all he wants is human attention and affection (and some balls and stuffies 😉).

Meet Dixie Cup!

This sweet senior girl belongs to a wonderful man who has taken great care of her since she was a puppy. She is his whole world. Unfortunately she had several mammary masses that he could not afford to treat. STAR stepped in and paid for her surgery. Helping members of our community with vet care, which has become incredibly expensive in California, is our core mission. Dogs bring huge benefits to people of all walks of life and should not be a luxury item, especially when our shelters are full and animals are being euthanized every day.

Please donate to STAR and support our work helping animals like Dixie Cup!

“Johnny Cash has the sweetest, calmest little soul. The moment we met him, he walked right up to my kids with the gentlest energy. He’s quiet, incredibly loving, and the type of dog that just wants to be near you. He follows us from room to room, curls up wherever we are, and gives the softest little nudges for attention.

He loves his bed and sleeps in it every night. We planned to kennel train him, but quickly realized there was no need.. he happily goes to his bed when asked and settles right in. He doesn’t beg when we’re eating, which has been such a pleasant surprise.

He lives for car rides, enjoys going on walks, and loves being included in whatever we’re doing. He’s calm around kids, patient, easy to handle, and carries himself like the sweetest little gentleman. He sits, lays down, is fully potty trained, and barely barks at all — honestly, he’s the perfect little potato.

Johnny Cash loves greeting everyone he meets and wins people over with just his presence. And even after whatever life he came from — whatever he went through before this… he still chooses to love. He still chooses people. He still chooses kindness.

He’s the kind of dog that makes you feel lucky to have met him. He fits into our home like he’s always been a part of our family, and he’s already brought so much joy, comfort, and laughter into our lives.”

Dogs, like Johnny Cash, aren’t often taken in by rescue organizations-their medical procedures can be expensive-but we couldn’t say no this face when we saw he was on “the list” at a local municipal shelter. Johnny, not only is scheduled for surgeries (cherry eye, neuter), but he’s found a fabulous, loving family to call their own.

Can you help us continue to save pups like Johnny Cash? We can’t do it without you-our supporters.
Thank you! ❤️

❤️🐾 Meet Lucky! 🐾❤️

Lucky is a 9-year-old Terrier mix with a gentle heart and a sweet, mellow spirit. He’s a calm boy who loves life’s simple pleasures — peaceful walks, a good game of fetch, and spending time with his favorite enrichment toys or puzzle games.

Lucky can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, his loving personality shines through. He’d do best in a quiet home with older kids (around 10 and up) who understand his gentle nature.

Lucky is fully house trained  and alerts you when he needs to use the potty.

Lucky is fully crate, trained, and likes to be in his little den area for relax time. He curls up into a little ball and snuggles inside of blankets.

Lucky can be left at home alone and will not chew or destroy any sort of household items.

Lucky is a sweet little talker once he opens up he will sing or talk to you when he is excited!

He enjoys the company of smaller dogs and other calm companions, but bigger dogs can make him a bit nervous — he prefers friends closer to his own size and energy level.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to share cozy days and gentle adventures with, Lucky would love to meet you! Apply to foster or adopt Lucky on our website (link in bio).❤️🐶

Her name is Hope — and she lives up to it every single day. 💛

Though she’s paralyzed in her back legs, that doesn’t slow her down one bit. This tiny girl runs, plays, and loves life with the biggest spirit you’ll ever meet.

She’s proof that joy doesn’t come from what you can’t do — it comes from never giving up. 💫

Thanks to her loving foster family, two-year-old Hope’s been given the chance to shine — and now she’s ready to find her forever home. Someone who’ll see her the way we do: brave, joyful, and full of heart. 🐾

🌟 Did you know? 🌟

Studies show that breed guesses based on looks are wrong about 75% of the time. That’s why labels like “shepherd mix” or “pit bull mix” don’t tell you much about who a dog really is.

What does matter? Their personality. 🐾
Is the dog playful or mellow? Shy or outgoing? Snuggly or independent? These are the traits that make them the right fit for your home and family.

When you adopt, look past the breed guess and get to know the dog in front of you. ❤️ That’s how the best matches are made!

Visit www.starcritters.org for your forever match.

Thank you for today’s inspiration.
