Star

Star was a stray dog who had 5 puppies in February under a house. This was during some really cold weather, so it was very hard for Star to keep her babies warm. She did her best to stay close to her puppies to keep them from getting cold and she fed them even though she didn’t have much to eat herself. She was a very good mama. When the puppies were old enough to walk and come out from under the house, they followed Star wherever she went. Unfortunately, many times she went toward a very busy street. It was probably because she was hoping to find food there. But for the puppies, it was very dangerous because they were so small and people driving cars could not see them. For some reason children in the neighborhood thought it was funny to throw things at Star and her puppies and chase them. This was probably because they saw some adults who were yelling at them and trying to hit them with sharp objects. A kind neighbor took all of them in and started giving them good food. She even gave everyone names. The girls are Bella, Daisy, and Gigi, and the boys are Dewey and Pepper. Star has been through a lot but she is recovering from her ordeal. She is a little timid, but she gets to know people quickly if they have just a little patience with her. She is very sweet natured and very beautiful. She needs to be adopted, but in the meantime, she needs someone who could be her foster parent until that "right" person comes along.
