My story

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

Timothy showed up at a high kill shelter in Texas in really bad shape. His fur was really thin, his skin was inflamed, and he had a big mass on one of his hips. Fast forward, all of those issues were addressed and he joined the Northstar family. He is settling in with his Texas foster mom. She says he loves going for walks and is perfect on leash! Timothy is 8 years old and weighs 16 pounds.

Timothy always has a soulful look on his face, almost like Eeyore. He is slow to warm up to people but quickly takes to other dogs, big and small. He follows his foster mom around - but isn’t a cuddler yet. (With more time, we think he will get there.) He is cautious around people he doesn’t know and needs extra time to get comfortable. It’s like he is a tad suspicious - worried that new people aren’t going to be nice to him. But with time and lots of TLC, we are sure he will come around.

At this point, Timothy doesn’t need to be in a home with children, but that could change as he learns that there are lots of nice people in the world.

If you'd like to help out Timothy, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and 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).
