Our friends at Dog Star Posted the following:
Dog Star Rescue was recently part of an amazing story where 13 puppy lives were saved.
When a pregnant momma named Gypsy was about to be euthanized due to overcrowding in a southern shelter, we agreed to help save her and her 7 pups. That very same day, another mother dog was unfortunately killed by a car, leaving behind 6 motherless 2-day old puppies. Gypsy took them in too and is currently nursing all of them. Gypsy and her 13 pups are now in our care, but we need your help.
We are looking to raise $5,000 to help offset the spay/neuter, vaccinations, veterinary care, food and other expenses essential for these pups until they are available for adoption. PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN.
All donors will be entered into a raffle where one lucky donor will be able to name a puppy. THANK YOU!

About Dog Star Rescue:
Dog Star Rescue, a non-profit, volunteer-run organization, is a dog rescue organization based out of the Hartford CT area. We work closely with shelters in the South as well as New England states to save the lives of loving and loyal dogs who have lost their way and find themselves on death row. Our team of wonderful volunteers get these adoptable dogs the medical and emotional care they need so they can transition into a loving forever home. To date, we’ve placed over 4,000 dogs with new families.
All of our amazing volunteers are unpaid and donate their time because of their passion for helping dogs. They spend significant time each week helping guide dogs to a wonderful new life. If you ask our volunteers, they’ll tell you they do it for a wide variety of reasons, including personal satisfaction in helping address a nationwide problem, their love of dogs, and a desire to have fun socializing with like-minded people. Dog Star is always looking for new volunteers to join our group, so if you would like to be a part of our organization, please check out our Volunteer Opportunities page.
Dog Star Rescue, Inc. is a grass-roots effort started by a group of dog lovers with experience in the rescue world. Learn about our organization’s mission, along with our reasons for adopting a rescue dog and information about some of our current volunteers. To check out our recommendations for other companies and services that love dogs almost as much as we do, see our Friends of Dog Star Rescue page.
What’s the meaning behind our name?
The name Dog Star comes from the common name for the star Sirius, reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The symbolism of the star as a guide to a safe passage is what we strive to do for our adoptable dogs as we find them a new life with a loving family.
