Story
Oreo is 4 years old and weighs about 14lbs. He is so playful and loves his human immensely. He likes to hug with his arms! It is so cute. He crates well and rides well in the car. He is housetrained with a doggy door. Oreo is just a dear little guy who wants a quiet home, not too busy. No kiddos for Oreo. He gets scared too easily and little children would make him scared. He would love to be your little lap dog. Oreo has resource guarding issues so only an experienced pet owner or a home as an only pet would be appropriate. Oreo needs a home with a fully fenced yard and someone active enough to play with him and keep him exercised. Please email stmartinsanimalrescue@hotmail.com for an application.

Story
Star is Sponsored by Mary Martin✨ Meet Star! ✨Star is a darling little Shih Tzu mix with a big personality packed into a tiny, fluffy body. True to her Shih Tzu roots, she adores being close to her people, thrives on companionship, and will happily follow you from room to room like your very own pint-sized shadow.Star is a sweet little girl who loves gentle affection, cozy beds, and being told how beautiful she is (which is often!). She bonds closely with her humans and will reward you with loyalty, snuggles, and those irresistible soulful eyes — plus the most adorable little underbite that gives her face extra character and charm. It’s impossible not to smile when she does. 💕Now, let’s talk about her “spicy” side 🌶️ — because every Star shines a little differently! While she is loving and devoted, she is also a bit of a hot tamale when it comes to being physically handled or picked up by strangers. Star does not appreciate new people manipulating her body, especially at the vet, and she can be quite dramatic about it (think: full opera performance). For her comfort and safety, she will likely require medication or sedation for veterinary visits and possibly grooming appointments.Because of this, Star would do best with:An experienced dog ownerA calm, predictable homeNo young children who may try to pick her up or handle her roughlyA veterinarian willing to work patiently and compassionately with her needsOutside of those situations, Star is a typical Shih Tzu — alert, charming, and happiest when she’s near her person. She isn’t looking for chaos or adventure; she’s looking for her safe place and her safe people.If you understand that even the brightest stars need a little patience and respect, Star — and her precious underbite smile — just might be your perfect match. 💫If you are interested in meeting Star, the shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am – 5pm, Sunday 11am-4pm (Winter Hours).If you’d like to schedule an appointment, check out the pets’ profile on our website at newberganimals.com to fill out an application and email to frontdesk@newberganimals.com.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment. Please follow the instructions on each pet profile.
