My story

Being lost on a rural road with your siblings and your mom can be a scary experience. If these seven pups where on their way to work that would be one thing but they were looking for shelter. With no cottage in the woods to call home, this golden retriever/collie mix litter followed their mom and had the good fortune of coming into rescue. Their names are familiar as they are named after the seven dwarfs, and their mom was given the name Snow White. Now these pups are singing, Heigh ho, heigh ho it is home from the streets we go. There is no looking back for this group. Bashful is amid the family troop and at 8 weeks old, he has a lot to discover and learn about life. Being a young pup, Bashful will have much fun with playing and being with friends. He enjoys the company of other dogs, children and cats. He is a spirited boy with plenty of puppy energy to explore, play, run, etc. Good times are ahead for him and his family as they watch him grow up and learn to navigate through life with wonderful memories and good times.All of his house, crate and leash training are in progress. It will take baby steps and one day at a time to learn and master his skill set but he is ready to make it to the finish line. As with all puppies, Bashful is full of curiosity and wonderment and is ready to grow from adorable puppy to an amazing dog with the right guidance and patience. He will need a home with someone who has the time, desire and energy to train and socialize him so that he can become the perfect lifelong companion.Bring the love of Bashful into your home and heart. If you are ready to embark on a new adventure and have all the love that Bashful has to give, fill out an application today. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Bashful is $600. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.August 13, 2025, 7:04 am

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