My story

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

Nigiri is a sweet senior Maltese boy who is searching for a soft place to land and a heart to call home. With his snowy white coat and gentle soul, Nigiri embodies everything special about senior dogs—quiet loyalty, deep gratitude, and love that feels calm and unconditional.
 
Nigiri doesn’t need long walks or constant activity. What he treasures most is companionship. He loves curling up beside his person, resting peacefully, and simply being near. He is house trained, good with other dogs, and is looking for his forever person who needs a quiet, loving companion. When Nigiri looks at you, it’s as if he’s saying thank you—for your time, your kindness, and your love.
 
Nigiri would do best in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by patience and affection. Senior dogs like Nigiri are often overlooked, but they have a way of changing your life in the quietest, most meaningful ways.
 
Nigiri needs a dental which he will have before adoption. He has also diabetic and will require daily insulin injections as well as glucose monitoring. But he is such a sweet and jaunty little fellow. He is ready to give all the love he has left—he just needs someone to give him a chance.
 
If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a truly special soul, Nigiri is waiting.

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).
