My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Duke’s an 80lb boy that is a little over half Siberian husky and Great Pyrenees and the rest are a bunch of different breeds. He is playful, super soft & snuggly, gentle giant of a teddy bear with a calm, but active demeanor.
Duke loves to give hugs and morning/night kisses, is fairly independent, keeps himself busy outside or at watch near a window — but finds you and gets “chatty” when he’s bored, ready for dinner or play time. He does need at least an hour or two a day of active interaction — a long walk, tossing a ball/toys or a large dog sibling to playing with!
He was rescued as he reached his “due out” date from a 6-month stay in an Utah shelter & has gained some much needed weight since. He’s kennel & house trained, knows basic commands like sit, shake, kisses and corrections, is cat & kid tested, gets along with other dogs well including little ones (his large stature may be intimidating at first but he’s respectful & nonreactive).
Duke is probably 1 t o 2 years old.

If trial goes well the adoption is finalized. Puppies wait until after they are spayed/neutered as arranged by the rescue.

Additional adoption info

A fee for a background check is also required.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Since we are a foster based rescue and don’t have a shelter all meet and greets must be scheduled and walk-ins are not an option. We will travel throughout the Treasure Valley and surrounding areas/states if that means the dog will find their forever home! When we host adoption/community events we will always post them on our Facebook Page Northern Star Dog Rescue.

More about this rescue

We are Northern Star Dog Rescue, a completely foster based non profit dog rescue! We specifically pull all of our dogs from the euthanasia list (most are there due to no fault of their own) and dogs that are homeless or in bad housing conditions. We take them in and place them in foster homes until we can find them their forever homes! We do what we do because our team has a STRONG love for animals especially those that are in dire situations.
