Story
Hi… I’m Timothy. If you look closely at my face, people say I kind of have that Eeyore look going on. Soulful. Thoughtful. Maybe a little bit like I’ve seen some things in life. And honestly… I have. I showed up at a high-kill shelter in Texas in pretty rough shape. My fur was thin, my skin was angry and itchy, and I even had a big lump on my hip that needed to be taken care of. But some really nice people stepped in, fixed me up, and brought me into the NorthStar family. These days I’m feeling a whole lot better and hanging out with my foster mom while I wait for my forever home. I’m about 8 years old and a very respectable 16 pounds — basically the perfect size for walks, couch lounging, and general companionship. Speaking of walks… I LOVE them. My foster mom says I’m perfect on leash, which I personally think deserves a gold star. Now, I’ll be honest with you about something. I’m a little cautious when it comes to people. I warm up slowly. It’s not that I don’t want to love you — I do — it just takes me a little time to believe that new people are going to be kind to me. Other dogs though? Big ones, little ones… I’m cool with them. I actually feel pretty comfortable around my dog friends. Once I start trusting someone, I tend to follow them around the house like a quiet little shadow. I’m not quite a cuddler yet, but my foster mom says she sees progress every day. With patience, kindness, and a little TLC, she thinks I’ll get there. Right now I’d probably do best in a calm home without children while I keep building my confidence and learning that the world is a safe place. If you’re the kind of person who understands that some dogs just need a little extra time to feel secure… I think we might be a really good match. And I promise — once I know you’re my person, I’ll be very loyal. If you’d like to meet me, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and make sure you mention my name — Timothy TX. I’ll be waiting...March 7, 2026, 1:56 pm

Story
Lucy was surrendered to NorthStar when her owner could no longer care for her dogs. Although she is 8 years old, Lucy is in good health, energetic and house-trained. She is a good listener who loves long walks and car rides. She is currently up to date on her shots, but is due for several vaccines in May - we'll ensure she receives those.  Lucy has lived with another dog and is currently in temporary foster with a Lab and Golden Retriever. On walks she may bark at other dogs out of curiosity. She's not aggressive, just loud. Lucy has a notable prey drive and will try to chase squirrels, birds, and deer. However, she was recently cat-tested while staying with a cat owner for two weeks, and she did not bother the resident cat. Lucy is crate trained and enjoys spending time in her individual crate even when given free roam of the house. Lucy is more submissive than her housemates. Overall, she is a very sweet senior girl just looking for a new place to hang her leash! If you are interested in meeting Lucy, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name!  April 20, 2026, 3:29 pm
