Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Meet Puppycat!

Puppycat is a 4-month-old bundle of love weighing in at about 13 pounds, with plenty of growing (and cuddling!) still to do. While her breed is a bit of a mystery, her personality is crystal clear—she’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and already showing what a loyal companion she’ll be.

This little shadow will happily follow you from room to room, always wanting to be near her people. She’s fantastic with kids and gets along great with other dogs, making her a wonderful addition to a family home or a multi-pet household.

Like any young puppy, Puppycat has bursts of playful energy between her naps and is currently in her “everything is a chew toy” stage. She’s learning quickly and will thrive with a family ready to guide her through puppyhood with patience, consistency, and lots of love.

If you’re looking for a devoted, playful, and irresistibly sweet companion to grow up with your family, Puppycat might just be your perfect match.


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 $550 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.
