Story

First he's sour, then he's sweet. Much like a sour patch kid, Oscar is the definition of a rascal. The 13-pound, 7-year-old pup was surrendered to Pets Alive because he has one issue: He's a biter! While someone attempted to adopt Oscar recently, he just wasn't having it. So alas, this boy is back at the shelter, and we're working on training to determine his triggers. Given his selective attitude, Oscar is best suited for a dog-savvy home without children.

Story

You know who have really been thriving around here lately? FLEAS! They have run quite rampant apparently over the summer in the local inner city where we pull so many dogs. (Readily available flea and tick prevention clearly hasn’t been discovered there yet). We have seen some of the biggest juiciest healthiest fleas these past few weeks and most long-term infested flea dirt covered dogs that we have had come into rescue for a long time. While we try to help save most living creatures, fleas are not one of them and we have probably killed thousands just this past weekend alone on dogs we rescued. 🪦 ☠️ 👋 🐜 Dogs like Umberto are so much happier and more comfortable without their itchy freeloading friends they bring along with them. This sweet matted senior Shih tzu was filthy and matted, with fleas crawling across the clippers as we were shaving him 🤢 He’s a very nice boy, his rotting teeth have been pulled, he’s been shaved down and neutered, and he’s ready for a better life and forever home. We noticed he drinks a LOT of water and has vey dilute urine… He’s been with us a couple weeks getting a medical work up to rule out Cushing’s and other conditions, but it seems to just be early chronic kidney disease causing it. He is surprisingly housebroken in foster and can hold it for a long period but does pee for a LOOONNNGGG time when taken out and prefers more frequent outings. He has a great appetite and is on low protein diet longterm and will need regular veterinary care and of course grooming and flea and tick prevention to keep him feeling his best. He likes other dogs and is a quiet easy to love little guy, probably at least 10-12 years old.

Story

😞 We are getting tired of telling the same story over and over. Society needs to do better 😡. Another small young designer breed non-shedding dog turned into animal control with a good year’s worth of mats head to toe. Thick painful mats encasing their whole body and legs, very close to the skin, taking us hours to painstakingly shave off at 10pm after another long day of work and rescue. At least in Timothy’s case there were no major injuries or maggots hiding under the mats, just some irritated skin. He’s a nervous but sweet little boy, 20lbs and 3-4 years old, some kind of Shih Tzu/lhasa/poodle/cockapoo type mix with a long body, short legs, and cute little baby face. He’s likes other dogs a lot and is sweet natured overall but understandably gets freaked out for grooming and vetting since he’s not used to it, so will need some positive handling and confidence building and probably some chill pills 💊 to make those situations less traumatic for him and his handlers. But overall he’s a really good boy, crate-trained and seems pretty good about housebreaking, likes his walks, and just needs some socialization in a positive way with new people and situations. He’s been neutered and updated on shots and luckily is otherwise healthy with no longterm medical results of his past neglect, and ready for a bright future and regular grooming appointments.

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 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.

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!January 28, 2026, 12:00 pm
