Story

Scrappy had a crappy owner and crappy life and is ready for a fresh start! His owners were evicted and just left him behind in the vacant apartment, a scared defensive matted mess. He’s just a baby, 1-2 years old and took some time to feel safe but is sweet and playful once he warms up. He’s a Shih Tzu or maybe Lhasa mix, 15lbs and now has been neutered and updated on shots. He had untreated chronic dry eye and is on prescription medication for life- he was a bit dramatic and convinced we were trying to blind him with the eye drops but now is calming down since he realizes it helps him feel better and is much more cooperative for his twice daily treatments. He’s a cute but quirky guy who definitely needs his space at first but lovable once he lets down his guard.

Story

Meet Stewie! He’s a bit too nice and easy and young and healthy and friendly and normal for us… but he needed a place to go so we took him anyway 😆 He’s a really lovable almost 5 year old non-shedding mix who has been passed around, and most recently surrendered because his owners were gone 12 hours at a time and he was having separation anxiety and accidents when alone for too long. So he’s looking for someone who will be home with him more often than not, and definitely seems less anxious with another dog in the house. He checks all the boxes and has done well with dogs, cats, children, strangers, vets, and groomers in previous homes, a really happy friendly guy who thrives with social interaction. Some dogs can find his playful energy a bit annoying, and even though he is neutered he can be a bit of a humper so does best with dogs that can put him in his place. He was said to be Maltese/yorkie but we definitely see some Shih Tzu definitely with that underbite and crooked smile 😃, 15lbs full grown, neutered, updated on shots, well-cared-for, healthy and ready to move right into a home!

Story

She’s definitely not the cutest looking dog, or the youngest, or the most housebroken (or housebroken at all) but little Starla is a sweet little gem. She’s back on the market and looking for an understanding home in her senior years. This 13 year old Shih Tzu/yorkie mix has been passed around a lot but is a lovable cuddly girl who still has some spunk. She’s blind in one eye and has cherry eyes that have been there her whole life and aren’t causing an issue and are more cosmetic at this point… it kind of makes her look demonic with glowing eyes depending on how the light hits her but we promise she’s no devil dog. And she barely has any teeth anyway. Starla does fine living with other gentle little dogs and mostly wants to be cuddled on your lap. She does need a home with a fenced yard as she refused to go to the bathroom on leash walks in her previous home, and does much better following other dogs out into a yard. She hates crates and being confined and gets more anxious/has more accidents when she is locked up, and does best loose with wee wee pads and sleeping in bed next to her person. But if housebreaking is a dealbreaker she’s not the one for you and doesn’t deserve to get bounced around again for that. Overall she’s in great health for a little old lady and we are hoping she will have several years to enjoy in her forever home. She is non-shedding, about 11lbs, spayed and updated on shots.

Story

Meet Michael Scott! At first glance, he seems like a loud, rude, obnoxious jerk. But if you make it past the awful first impression, you will find he can actually be a lovable goofy buffoon and fun to hang out with, and will keep you laughing. There’s definitely room for some character development, especially improvement with impulse control and learning to keep his mouth shut and be less offensive in public. But he probably won’t be the worst dog-boss you have ever had. Just a year old, he was surrendered to animal control for being “too hyper”, definitely still in his puppy phase. He growled at the vet so loudly they couldn’t even listen to his heartbeat and barks ferociously at first with new people, but deep down he’s just nervous and afraid of ending up alone. He’s been fine with other little dogs and they seem to normal him out a bit- he seems like a dog that was taken from his mom way too young and never got enough attention, so he makes sure he’s the center of attention at all times now. He’s only 12lbs, some kind of Shih Tzu mix, is updated on shots and we have had him neutered so he won’t be demanding you to set him up on dates. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet the Michael Scott of Northern NJ. Applications from Scranton, PA will be given preference😜 Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ.

Good with dogs, House-trained,

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 hip dysplasia, but it doesn’t appear to cause her pain and the vet is not recommending surgery at this time. She gets around well and still has plenty of pep in her step. Check out the video of her taking a walk & see just how well she gets around on leash! Mei Mei is perfectly housetrained, too. On 1/28/2026: Foster mom's update on Mei Mei said she was home alone with the other dogs for about 2 and a half hours this morning and did really well! She wandered and howled a little bit, but no destructive or frantic behavior at all. 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!March 7, 2026, 1:56 pm
