My story

If you're looking for a gentle soul with a playful spirit, Lainey might just be your perfect match. This 110-12 month old 35 lb shepherd mix is an absolute joy to have around — sweet, sensitive, and full of puppy charm. Lainey can be a little shy at first, but once she knows she can trust you, she blossoms into the most loving and loyal little baby. Her big, soulful eyes say it all — this girl is pure heart. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is very gentle with cats. She’s crate trained, lets you know when she needs to go out, and loves to play and zoom around the yard before curling up for a nap like a sleepy toddler. Still young and full of potential, Lainey is learning and growing every day. Her gentle nature and eagerness to please make her an absolute dream to have in the home. She’s the kind of pup who wants nothing more than to be near her people, offering cuddles, tail wags, and unconditional love. This little angel is truly something special — she just needs a kind, patient person to show her that the world is a safe and happy place. If you think Lainey might be your forever friend, apply today and come meet her. Your heart will thank you. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 1:02 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lainey, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
