Story

Meet Flint! This charming gentleman was discovered roaming the streets of rural Texas before finding his way to a warm local shelter. While his past remains a mystery, it’s clear that he was once loved and well-cared for. Flint is truly one of the most grateful pups you could ever meet! At around 9 years old, this wonderful guy has unfortunately been overlooked by potential adopters at the shelter. But here’s the best part: the shelter manager recognized Flint’s special qualities and reached out to NorthStar, hoping to find him a loving home. Although Flint has only been with NorthStar for a short time, his foster family can already see how perfect he is! Flint quickly mastered the doggy door and is a champ at taking himself out for potty breaks. He previously spent time in a temporary foster home where he mingled with cats and dogs of all sizes and he did wonderfully with everyone! Are you seeking a dog who knows how to show appreciation? Well, look no further—Flint is your guy! He loves to spread the love with sweet, periodic kisses. This laid-back fella enjoys relaxing around the house and is always up for a movie night! While Flint is crate trained, he might express a bit of discontent when it’s time to settle in, but don’t worry—he settles down nicely after a few minutes. Flint would thrive with someone who has plenty of time to devote to him, whether that’s a retired person or someone who works from home. Although we don’t have specific information about his exposure to children, his foster believes that Flint would happily share his affection with little ones. Could Mr. Flint be the perfect addition to your family? Don’t wait—apply today to meet this amazing pup! Flint will be coming to NJ to find his perfect fit. If you are interested in meeting this sweet senior boy, please complete an adoption application and be sure to ask for him by name - FLINT TX! February 2, 2026, 10:47 am

Story

When a mama dog was run over by a car, leaving behind puppies, a rescuer stepped up to save the little ones. First up is Cashew. He IS a little nut, but he’s sweet and tender too! He was the one puppy of the four that hid so well, he almost wasn’t saved. He came to me several hours after the other three, after the second search. He is the biggest. He is also the one with the most tender heart who takes the word NO!! most seriously (if only for a minute), the one most EAGER for interaction- the one who is most excited to have a person playing with him. DNA results for the pups came back saying they are mostly Chihuahua and Cattle Dog. Cashew weighed in at 11.2 pounds on 2/2 but we expect the dogs to weigh 18 to 31 pounds when fully grown. If you are interested in giving Cashew a home, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention his name! February 4, 2026, 9:41 am

Story

Meet Gherkin – a 13&#226&#128&#145pound dill&#226&#128&#145ightful little dude who’s ready to relish life with you! At about 8 years old, Gherkin is the perfect mix of sweet and silly. He’s "mostly" housetrained (occasional accident), crate&#226&#128&#145trained (though he’ll tell you his opinions about that at first), and absolutely insists on having a dog buddy around – no solo gigs for this guy. Gherkin is a professional snuggler, loves to burrow under the covers at bedtime, and is happiest as your personal shadow. He’s currently being treated for heartworm but that won’t stop him from being adopted into his forever home. He loves laps, loves people of all ages, and just wants to be part of the action. If you’ve got another friendly pup and an open spot on your couch (and in your bed), Gherkin is ready to fill it! Apply at www.northstarpets.org and don’t forget to mention his name – he’s kind of a big dill.September 16, 2025, 2:27 pm

Story

Little Miss Truly was just rescued from a shelter in Texas by NorthStar. She is such an affectionate little gal - at the shelter she would greet all visitors at the front of her kennel, hoping for a touch or a pet. Truly is about 8 years old and weighs only 9 pounds. She is sight impaired but we believe she can see shadows. Truly has now arrived in NJ and she is settling in at her new foster home. The cats in the home are very interested but still won’t get too close. She enjoys being outside and constantly has her nose up in the or in the grass air to smell things. Truly experienced snow on the grass this morning and she didn’t seem to care. Truly still has her tail tucked most of the time but it’s high in the air with butt scratches or side of the face scratches. If you are looking for a sweet little lady to sit in your lap, TRULY is truly your girl! Please fill out an adoption application at http://www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name - TRULY TX.

Story

Meet Timothina – A Tiny Survivor with a Giant Heart! Timothina is a precious, sweet little lady with the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. This quiet Chihuahua loves to burrow into soft blankets, cozy beds, and your heart. She may be small, but her capacity for love is absolutely enormous. At 13 years of age, Timothina is completely blind, but don’t tell her that — she navigates life with bravery and trust. She was found wandering the harsh Texas streets all alone, yet somehow her spirit remains beautifully unbroken. She greets everyone she meets with sweetness and quiet affection, as if she’s decided the world is still a good place. She adores car rides and is happiest snuggled safely beside her person, soaking in the comfort of simply being loved. Timothina has a dental scheduled next week and will most likely be completely toothless afterward, but that won’t slow this little lady down one bit. Soft food, cozy blankets, and gentle cuddles are really all she asks for. Timothina would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She doesn’t need sight to see the goodness in people — and she’s ready to give her whole heart to someone special.February 13, 2026, 1:55 pm

Story

When a mama dog was run over by a car, leaving behind puppies, a rescuer stepped up to save the little ones. This girl puppy is Tippy, named after the childhood dog of her foster mom. Tippy's breed mix is unknown but she does have a white tail tip, like her namesake! Also dots down her right side like beads on a string! Tippy is playful, loves toys, and is up for every bit as much rough and tumble as her brothers. She was the first of the bunch to bark, and has a lot of other things to say. It's like she's really trying to tell you something! She is just as bright as the rest. She's already on the way to knowing both "sit" and "shake". Tippy weighed in at 11 pounds on 2/2 but we expect her to weigh 18 to 31 pounds when fully grown. If you are interested in giving Tippy a home, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention her name! February 4, 2026, 9:41 am
