My story

Woodrow is a senior boy who is looking for a special adopter who will give him the care he requires for his health issues. He is a 13-year-old Yorkie mix who weighs 25 pounds and, as you can see in his "before" photo, he has definitely suffered a lot of neglect in his previous life. 

Woodrow is a sweet guy but he can be grumpy if startled. He is okay with other dogs and has shown no interest in the cats in his foster home. He is a low energy boy who is happy to just "hang out" all day. He cannot "do" stairs so he must be carried outside for bathroom breaks unless you've got one-level living space.

So a bit about his health issues...Woodrow has chronic skin infections which require medication as well as medicated baths & regular grooming. This poor boy also had both eyes removed last year. 

We are really hoping that someone wonderful and loving and patient will look beyond these issues and see the special boy that Woodrow is and give him a chance at a loving retirement home.

If you'd like to meet Woodrow when he arrives in NJ, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for him by name, WOODROW TX!

More about this rescue

In many areas of the country, especially in the South, the situation for animals is desperate: Chained outside and starving, homeless and running loose, or just simply no longer wanted and abandoned in an overburdened and underfunded facility that can’t possibly take another. For these animals, there is not much hope…except to look in the night sky for the North Star, their only way out. We are a group of passionate volunteers committed to saving these innocent dogs and finding them a new forever home. NorthStar Pet Rescue was founded in 2017, and although we might be a relatively new name among New Jersey animal rescues, you may recognize some of us from the work we’ve done volunteering with other rescues to help animals over the past decade. We are 100% dedicated to operating in an safe, transparent, and ethical manner and to ensuring the best veterinary practices are followed with regards to the care and transport of our animals. NorthStar Pet Rescue is IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN: 81-5348036).
