About STARBURST

Starburst (A1914054) is a spayed female German Shepherd mix, about 1 year and 9 months old and weighing approximately 57 pounds. She's a social, adaptable, and energetic girl who loves to play fetch and go on adventures. Starburst gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions. She's a smart cookie who already knows basic commands like sit, lie down, and shake hands, and she's eager to continue learning. Starburst rides calmly in the car and is well-behaved and attentive in her foster home. She rarely barks, but she is naturally protective and does a great job watching over her space, making her foster family feel safe and secure. Starburst recently enjoyed a Dog Day Out to Tingley Beach, where she handled a long hike very well and showed what a fun, active, and well-mannered companion she can be.

Ideal Home

Starburst would thrive in a home that can match her energy, appreciate her intelligence, and enjoy both her playful spirit and her loyal, watchful nature. A meet-and-greet is recommended if you have a dog at home to ensure a good fit.
