A volunteer writes: Winning my award for most adorable face ever, this is my buddy Starman. He’s so cute with an adorably sweet face with an upper lip that gets caught on his bottom tooth. Beyond cute! He’s a gorgeous boy in his clean taupe and white coat, his eyes shine and his tail wags as I come to leash him. We’re told that Starman was relaxed and playful with the two young children (ages 3 and 5) with whom he lived, lived with two other dogs, one of them a “small”, doesn’t guard his things, is friendly to all, will hide from loud noises, loves to play tug, and likes baths and brushing. Starman went potty the moment we were outside, is lovely on leash, ignores other dogs we pass, was social and friendly in his first play group with males and females, and gave me gentle kisses when we sat together. He has the best pouty underlip ever, and of course that snaggle tooth is fantastic! Off leash he comes when called, shows off his sit in exchange for gently enjoying a treat. He’s simply irresistible and I challenge you to try. A proven family dog, easy to be with, sweet and gentle, he’s looking for a new family to love. Shouldn’t it be yours? Note: Altough the video refers to Starman by a different name, the correct name is Starman.
