My story

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

Marlin is a lowrider Beagle mix boy who was recently rescued from a Texas shelter. He is 8 years old and weighs about 25 pounds - he's a laid back cooooool guy.

Marlin is petrified of the cats in his foster home - he will not go down the hallway if they are in it. He is sooo funny and will even give them the side eye when they are trying to love on him on the bed. He is house trained and crate trained. He does great on a leash and loves walks. He is a total snuggle bug. He is doing great with foster mom's smaller dogs but the 4 bigger ones who are a bit rowdy he stays away from. He is definitely not an Alpha. He follows the little dogs and is not the least bit aggressive with anything.

Sadly Marlin tested positive for heartworms but NorthStar will be making sure he receives the treatment necessary for him to get well. He also appears to be sight impaired in one eye.

If you're interested in adopting this little guy, please submit an adoption application for MARLIN TX - be sure to mention his name!

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).
