Story
Meet Daisy. She is a Shih Tzu who was found as a stray and she’s approx 4yr old female, walks well on a leash, seems to be housebroken, wants to be your shadow. She is the sweetest little cuddle bug who is a true couch potato and is content to lay next to you or on your chest. Don’t let her fool you, even though she’s a couch potato she can hang for nice long walks too! She has no problem interacting with other dogs but would prefer to probably be the queen of the castle. She met a cat and did well. She follows her people around the house and is always looking to be with them! She is blind in one eye, but she doesn’t let that stop her fun!

Story
Meet Mei Mei!&#226&#128&#168Born in February 2022 and weighing under 15 pounds, Mei Mei is a pocket-sized bundle of happy energy. This sweet girl has one main goal in life: to be close to her people. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or moving around the house, she’ll be right there with you—tail wagging and heart full. Mei Mei is a champion snuggler who loves to curl up on your lap or in a cozy bed. But she’s not a total couch potato either. When she’s not glued to her foster mom’s side or napping, she loves to sniff around the yard or play with her foster siblings. She does have some hip issues, and is scheduled for an orthopedic consult in mid-December to learn more about how to best support her long-term comfort and mobility. For now, she gets around well and still has plenty of pep in her step. In fact, she would do best in a home with a fenced in yard because she loves to run and explore and will definitely chase squirrels! Mei Mei has displayed some destructive behavior when left alone, so she does need to be crated. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a huge heart, Mei Mei might be your perfect match. She’s ready to shower her forever family with love, loyalty, and endless snuggles. To meet Miss Mei Mei, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention her name, NAC'S MEI MEI TX!December 4, 2025, 9:07 am

Story
**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to NJ for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** Meet Duritz Crow! 🐾 Duritz Crow is a 3-year-old, 11-pound Shih Tzu with a heart full of love and a playful spirit that will melt your heart! This little guy has come such a long way — he was rescued from a shelter after landing on the euthanasia list because he was scared, severely matted, and too frightened to be touched. Thankfully, one of our amazing fosters saw past his fear and gave him a chance. Now, Duritz is a completely different dog — happy, confident, and full of joy! Duritz adores his toys (and will proudly show them off to you!), and he gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs. He walks nicely on a leash, uses a doggy door like a pro, and loves being part of the action. This brave little fluffball is ready to find his forever family — one that will shower him with the love and patience he’s proven he deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, toy-loving companion who’ll make you smile every day, Duritz Crow is your guy! Interested in becoming a forever home for Duritz?

Story
Meet Gizmo Giblet! 6 years old and 14lbs. This adorable pup prefers to be the only child so a home with human kids will not be considered for his adoption. Gizmo is the dog for you if you’re looking for a boy that wants to be beside you, no matter what! You understand that he communicates by growling along with nasty comments, and you don’t mind that he will bark and scratch at doors to get your attention when you leave him. He will also help keep friends and family away by barking, growling and snapping at them when they get close to you. He is a happy and playful boy that loves squeak toys and will insist on sleeping beside you and may pee in your bed Interested in becoming a forever home for Gizmo Giblets?
