Story

Piper is a 12-year-old, 15-pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix in need of a new home due to changes in her owner's living situation. She is a very good dog with adults and older children, forming a strong bond with her person and loving to be close. Piper enjoys sitting with you, hanging out, and being part of what’s going on. She’s smart and trainable, knowing a few tricks and loving treats, and she loves playing with her toys—especially stuffed ones. Piper gets along well with other dogs and is easygoing in a calm environment. Piper can be a little nervous when there are fireworks or a storm is coming, but she will let you know when they are coming. She is crate trained and house trained, and she’ll alert you when she needs to go out. Well-mannered on walks, Piper would do well in an adult-only home or in a household with older, respectful children. She’s gentle, easy to care for, and loves relaxing near her person. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-stress companion who thrives on closeness and routine, Piper could be the perfect match. If you think your home would be a good fit for Piper, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name, PIPER TX! February 10, 2026, 4:24 pm

Story

My name is Bella. I am a fantastic senior! I am about 8.5 and 60ish lbs. I could stand to lose about 5 lbs or so. We think I am best described as a Lab/Collie mix with a bit of Shepherd to round me off. No one is perfect but I am pretty close to it. I am the whole package. I am calm but still have energy to romp in the yard, go on nice strolls and play with some toys. I can go at the pace of whatever family adopts me. I listen nicely and have great house manners. I am very affectionate but not in-your-face. I am playful and a great walking buddy. I am the kind of dog where you feel surprised after 3 days that I haven't lived with you for 3 years. I settle in seamlessly. I am housebroken and have no need for any type of crate. I am great with cats. I also have no animosity towards dogs but I don't need an energetic playful dog in my home. Another settled dog would be fine or I am happy to live with just my people. I am good with kids too and have lived with them previously. I am just amazing! I am located in NJ!

Cokie

Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua

Female, Senior

Cranford, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Cokie is a fun dog who prefers the run of the house and be with her people as much as possible. She is curious, is always in a great mood, and is always up for petting or playing. She is good on a leash and walks at a happy trot, is friendly with most dogs, is friendly with children (but maybe not very small children?), and has lived with a small dog most of her life. You won't believe she's a senior. We took her in after a friends elderly dad had gotten too immobile and could no longer take care of her. Why a rehome? Its not Cokie, its us. We have a senior cat and have adopted two senior dogs before. Cokie may be 16, but she is an actual dog. She is curious and wants to visit the cat, which sends our timid cat upstairs. Cokie gets some separation anxiety and she will sometimes bark in the middle of the night when she realizes she is alone downstairs. We cannot make both animals happy and the cat was here first.

Story

Sawyer came from a hoarding situation. He is a bit shy but with the help of our staff and a loving adopter he will make a great addition to any family. He needs to interact with people as he didn't get much interaction in the situation he was in. We are working on leash and potty training. He is 7 years old and fully vetted, heart worm negative and microchipped. He is in need of a loving family to love him so he can show them his love as well. Won't you please consider adding Sawyer as a new family member? He is being fostered in Tennessee, but we transport using the most animal friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.
