My story

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

"Ohana" means "family" and this sweet little girl would love to have a family of her own! She came into a shelter in Texas as a stray  with a dead end microchip and an old injury to her eye. Ohana is a gem and very easy to work with. She walks well on the leash & has been friendly with everyone she has met - she definitely seems potty trained, too!

Ohana's eye has been examined by NorthStar's vets - since it's an old injury and isn't bothering her, they feel it is best to just leave the eye as it is. This gal is very chill and mostly likes to sleep in a dog bed in the living room while foster mom works at home. She is getting better with the cats but still not a fan of them. She would do fine with calm dogs (especially small breed) who also like to keep to themselves with occasional interaction. High energy dogs or puppies are not for her! Ohana is amazing with kids. She loves to be held and pet on and will sit in your lap for hours if you let her.

Ohana is fully potty trained and loves to be with her people in bed and around the house. Her best fit would be in a house with a kid or as an only dog or with one easy going fursibling. Ohana loves car rides and being outside. She is not people shy at all - she gets along with everyone! She has been crated and is okay with it but in her foster home she doesn't have to be as she is well behaved and hasn't had any accidents.

Ohana is about 5 years old and weighs around 9 pounds - she's perfectly sized for any lap! This girl is a real treasure and whoever adopts her is going to be very happy they did!

If you're looking for a sweet, calm and easygoing gal, please consider putting in an adoption application for Ohana TX - be sure to mention her 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).
