Hi, my name is Shenandoah but I go by “Sheni.” I’ve been a NorthStar Pet Rescue dog since they sprung me from a Texas shelter in February, 2022. I had puppies a few days later and my babies have all been adopted. I’ve been getting ready for my forever home and learning all sorts of things in my NJ foster home. I know my name well, I walk nicely on a leash, I sit for my bowl, and give paw. I am a very good listener, smart and willing to learn plus I am fully housebroken.
I love to give my belly and carry a ball in my mouth. I also love to snuggle with my people, give kisses, and follow them around. I am very curious and want to be included in everything they do. I love all types of dog toys and dog beds.
I’ve also learned to be a part of a dog pack! I’ve been living with three other dogs and I’ve been looking after all of them. I’m the only female dog here so I make sure to play and cuddle with all my new boyfriends so no one feels left out.
Some might say that I’m a little nervous. My doggie friends helped me to quickly become comfortable in my foster home, however, if one of them doesn’t trust a situation I will protect them and show off my strong bark. When my friends are calm, I am calm.
My confidence is becoming stronger but sometimes I still need encouragement to spend time in the yard. The sounds of nearby traffic are unpredictable and can be very scary but I do love playing chase with my friends and bringing toys outside to entice a game. I also love it when the people throw a ball for me to fetch. Once I let my playful side take over I forget all about being scared!
Because I am a cautious girl, I would really love a home with a confident canine companion to show me around and help me get settled in. I also really need people in my life that understand how important it is that I not be yelled at and who will allow me some time to build trust. It does not take long for me to fall in love with people but I need to be able to check them out and introduce myself on my own terms.
If you are looking for a best friend, search no further. I am as loyal and personable as they come and I’m ready for a forever home.
Shenandoah is about 4 years old and weighs 73 pounds. If you are interested in giving this beautiful girl a good home, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention her name, SHENANDOAH 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).
