A note from her foster mom:
Star is a star. She is friendly and affectionate, but she is also docile and obedient. She has been outside to potty several times; she seems to have grasped that concept. That white-tipped tail can really wag. 😄 She is already pretty comfortable with both me and Erin.
Star would definitely appreciate lots of hugs and ear rubs. She’s going to be a super pet.
