Female Dog, Great Dane
Great Dane / Labrador Retriever / Mixed
Description:
LOCATION: Round Rock, TXDOB: 11/15/2016Meet Starlight: The Resilient and Loving Dane MixStarlight came to us with severe facial deformities, likely caused by a traumatic event. We try not to dwell on what might have happened to this incredibly sweet girl, but her resilience is truly inspiring. Despite her noticeable trauma, Starlight loves everyone she meets and thrives outside of her kennel. Unfortunately, she often gets overlooked because she’s big, a senior, a black dog, and has a unique appearance.Starlight is a stocky Lab-Dane mix, weighing around 85 pounds and spayed. She is a medical case for several reasons: she is a senior, heartworm positive, overweight, and has neurogenic atrophy of the facial muscles on her right side. The shelter believes this is due to a traumatic injury to her face, but we prefer not to explore the heartbreaking details further.She needs a home that accepts her physical appearance and sees her for the beautiful girl she is. Starlight’s personality is fantastic—she is great with other dogs and is a shelter favorite. She loves everyone she comes in contact with and doesn’t seem bothered at all by other dogs.Starlight is currently living her best life, napping by the fireplace on the couch and cuddling with the kids. She is such a sweetheart and will make a great family dog. She doesn’t mind the other crazy dogs in the house and is very good on a leash, although she walks very slowly. Starlight’s favorite thing is nap time! She literally just walks around so happy, wagging her tail. She is completely potty trained and just a happy love bug. Mojave, another dog in the house, seems to really enjoy her company too! She is lazy, just like he likes it. Starlight is honestly perfect! She walked right into a house with 5 kids, 2 pups, and a foster dog with no issues.Starlight is thriving in her foster home but longs for a family to call her own. If you are looking for a sweet, laid back snuggler then Starlight is your girl!All of our Great Danes are altered, if medically possible, fully vetted, micro-chipped, and on heartworm prevention or treatment prior to being adopted.
