Story
Fat Albert is about 1 year old and weighs 22 lbs. We didn't name him so we are hoping his furever family adopts him and gives him a new family and also a new name. His foster family calls him "Albie". Albie is actually a compact bundle of joy with an adorable underbite that gives him a perpetually endearing expression. This sweetheart has such a happy disposition! He is almost crate-trained; though he prefers a bit of coaxing and treats to get inside but once he's settled, he's as cozy as can be. At bedtime, he's a pro at making his bed and curls up happily for a good night's sleep. He's almost house-trained, with a few days between accidents thanks to regular potty breaks. He absolutely adores playing with his favorite toys or a liberating game of fetch. You'll often find him bounding after his favorite ball with infectious enthusiasm (check out his video). He's a big fan of walks, exploring the world every chance he gets. He's mastered the art of sitting on command and is a champ at car rides — always eager for the next road trip! While he can be a bit mouthy, he's a quick learner and just needs some guidance in obedience training. Despite being cautious around new people, once he warms up, his happiness shines through, and he'll be your best buddy. He can be reactive when he sees other dogs on walks, but he's improving with positive reinforcement. Albie sheds minimally, making him a low-maintenance companion in the grooming department.  Albie’s life motto? "Fetch, walk, play, repeat — and don't forget the treats!" If you are prepared to welcome a loveable goofball of a character into your home, then apply to adopt FAT ALBERT at ehrdogs.org!September 7, 2024, 5:10 pm

Lil Yuki is an adorable 1-year-old white pup with big ears and an even bigger heart! Despite being deaf, Yuki doesn’t let anything slow her down. She’s around 18 lbs of pure joy and is incredibly friendly with all people and dogs. Yuki is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines, making her ready to find her forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet and loving companion, Yuki could be the perfect fit. From her foster: Yuki has settled in like she has been here her whole life, fits in with all my dogs and cat. Seems to be housebroken, really good in the house and crazy playful with my 9 month old Yorki mix. She seems to read the other dogs well. No food aggression. Slept in the crate, and did well. She is a pleasure to foster. Apply to adopt Yuki at ehrdogs.org!September 7, 2024, 5:10 pm

Story
“EMBRACE THE IMPERFECTION” Good morning, boys and girls. My name is Seren. I am a 3-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix and found myself pregnant on the streets of Texas. I am happy to announce that on March 10, 2024, I gave birth to four healthy puppies, all of which have since found their forever homes. I’m currently residing with multiple dogs, however, I do get a little jealous when other dogs approach my human. So although I would be great in a home with other dogs, I would also be OK in a home as the only princess. I don’t want to live in the past so I would prefer not to discuss my life previous to NorthStar Pet Rescue, but I am a little untrusting of people at first. As a result, I would do best in an adult only household with slow introductions to visitors. I would do best in a home with someone who is dog savvy, only because I do get nervous and need someone that is going to be understanding and patient. I am house trained, I am not destructive, and I am a fun, quirky, little girl who will make you laugh every day.    I know I may not be perfect, and I may have flaws, but my motto is “Embrace the imperfection”.   If you are interested in meeting me, please swipe left… or is it swipe right? In any event, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for MEEEEEE - SEREN TX! September 7, 2024, 10:09 am

Story
Meet Pinto, a sweet Chihuahua mix boy with extra-long legs! He was rescued from a shelter in Texas and now is in a wonderful foster home. At first he was a little shy, but he is more confident now and should blend into most households easily. He lets foster mom and little girls dress him up. Pinto is not a Velcro dog or high maintenance, but attention and petting makes his tail wag. He's an obedient boy who listens to a gentle “no”. Pinto is a perfect dog to blend into your family easily. In the morning Pinto hangs out by front door so he doesn’t miss a walk - he's good on a leash, too! He's good with other dogs - he's even made friends with all the dogs in his foster home (even the grumpy ones!)  Pinto is 10 years old and weighs 22 pounds. He is housetrained and is good with kids. He's also fine with the cats he has met. Got a mouse problem? Pinto is on the job - he'll happily "gift" you with his catch, too! And you'll no longer need a fly swatter with Pinto around! He snaps at flies & bugs, even catching some of them - he's handy to have around in the summer! And he's quite entertaining to watch! Pinto will be good in a family or as a single pet. If you're interested in adopting this special senior boy when he arrives in NJ, please submit an adoption application for PINTO TX - be sure to mention his name!September 7, 2024, 10:09 am

Story
This sweet 11-year-old senior ended up in a Texas shelter, hoping to find someone to spend her golden days with! NorthStar stepped in and pulled her to safety and she is now in a wonderful foster home. Sake currently lives with 3 crazy cats in her foster home in TX and has no issue when the kitten tries to steal her food or they play around her. Personality wise, Sake is just like having a little doll. She loves her donut bed and just sleeps there most of the day and then will walk and sit somewhere else. She loves rolling in the grass but has to be carried out cause we have steps. Once we carry her outside, she immediately does her business. She just ignores everyone and doesn’t mind when others come close to her. She hasn’t made a noise since being here. Sake's legs and feet didn’t form correctly at birth so she moves differently and sometimes needs help getting around on slick surfaces. She also has no teeth although that hasn't interfered with her eating wet food! She has chronic dry eye for which she will be on an ointment the rest of her life. As you can see in her photos, Sake is very underweight, practically skeletal, but she is slowly gaining weight in foster as she eats 3 healthy meals a day. NorthStar will be making sure Sake gets the medical attention she needs in order to bring her back to a better state of health. She will then be making her way to NJ to find a wonderful retirement home. If you're interested in meeting this peanut (she weighs 6 pounds), please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name, SAKE TX!  September 7, 2024, 10:09 am

Story
Little Mavis was whisked to safety by NorthStar on her final day at a Texas kill shelter! She is now in a loving foster home where she gobbled up her first good meal in a long time. Mavis is 14 years old and weighs about 8 pounds. She will be making her way to NJ to find a forever home. She does have some health issues (including bad teeth) and housetraining is a work in progress (she needs frequent potty breaks), but we hope to have this sweet old girl in a forever home soon with someone who just can't resist this wobbly senior girl! If you're interested in meeting this gal, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name, MAVIS TX!  September 7, 2024, 10:09 am

Story
Meet Chip (brown) and Mouse (black)!!!  These two wonderful boys are having to be re-homed due to their owners no longer being able to care for them.  These 2 boys are 3 years old and have lived together their entire lives.  It is for this reason that the owners want them to be adopted together.  NOTE:  Chip and Mouse are NOT NorthStar Pet Rescue dogs.  NorthStar is helping to network them for a suitable home.  NorthStar does not guarantee the accuracy of this listing and applications will be sent to the owner to respond to.   bs, light brown fur.  Both dogs are neutered, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, and up to date on vaccines.   As a puppy Mouse was found in a kennel with his siblings in a neglectful hoarding situation and had never been allowed outside, leading to him having severe anxiety and fearfulness of loud noises and going outside. He currently only leaves the house for vet appts and goes potty inside on pads. He also has some minor allergy/skin issues that are treated as needed. Besides these issues, Mouse is an absolutely adorable, sweet, playful, hilarious dog who really loves to play and have little zoomies in the house, & also cuddle and receive lots of belly rubs. We also have never heard him bark once, he's a near silent dog who will sometimes let out a little cry once you get home after a long day. Despite his anxiety about going outside he's made soo much progress since we first got him and is a totally different much happier dog. He's especially so much happier since getting his brother Chip who he seemingly depends on for comfort and guidance.    Chip is a really great, affectionate, easy to please dog who's only issue is some reactiveness/barking with strangers and other dogs. He doesn't have any anxiety or issues with going outside he can be taken out and walked as normal, just wouldn't recommend dog parks. He loves going on long walks and being outside, however he's not the type of dog you can take to a park and just relax with he prefers to be walking and moving. Once he's inside, he's very calm and chill and just happy to be at Mouse's side and giving us all lots of kisses.    It's really important that they're adopted together because this transition will be hard for both of them, but especially for Mouse and we think he'll struggle to adjust a lot more without Chip. They really love each other a lot and are nearly attached at the hip most times. We wouldn't recommend a home with cats and would suggest a home with older kids if any. Chip would be happy to play and run around with them, but Mouse definitely would require kids who can respect his boundaries and be gentle with him. We think they would do best with an experienced, patient, loving, and supportive owner who lives in a quiet home and neighborhood, and has a fenced in secure yard. They will both need further training and support, Mouse for his anxiety and Chip for his reactivity. We think Mouse would eventually be okay with going outside in a yard, it's just been harder for us to try because their owner lives in an apartment in a busy neighborhood. But we truly think they can both thrive in the right home. They're such good boys and just really sweet, gentle, loving, silly, and affectionate dogs who we know will fill someone's home with so much more joy, love, and laughter as they have ours. September 7, 2024, 10:09 am
