Story

Our longest stay dog with the biggest heart we've ever had! In December 2024, when Houston experienced some of its coldest nights of the year, a frightened dog was running loose through a neighborhood—alone, confused, and terrified. That dog was Brody. Brody had been abandoned. He didn’t understand why the people he once depended on were suddenly gone, and he didn’t trust anyone who tried to help. Every time someone approached, Brody ran. He refused to be touched, choosing fear over the risk of being hurt again. While families stayed warm inside their homes, Brody survived the freezing nights on his own, carrying nothing but instinct and fear. For weeks, our volunteers showed up for him—patiently, quietly, without expectations. No chasing. No pressure. Just food, gentle voices, and consistency. Slowly, Brody began to realize that these humans were different. Eventually, he allowed himself to step into a backyard where we set up heat lamps and an enclosed kennel to protect him from the cold. That kennel became his safe place. For the first time in weeks, Brody could rest without fear. He grew fond of that little space because it meant warmth, safety, and choice—things he hadn’t had in a long time. But Brody’s journey didn’t end there. He was absolutely terrified of a leash. To Brody, it felt like losing control all over again. So we went at his pace. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months. Every small step mattered—letting the leash be near him, touching it, standing calmly with it, learning that it didn’t mean danger. And then one day, Brody walked. Today, Brody walks on a leash—a milestone that represents so much more than movement. It represents trust. Healing. Courage. It represents a dog who once ran from every human, choosing instead to walk beside one. Brody’s story is a reminder that broken doesn’t mean hopeless, and scared doesn’t mean unlovable. Sometimes, all it takes is time, patience, and someone willing to believe. Brody believed. And now, he’s learning how to live again. Age: Approximately 3 years Size: Low profile! Short and thick Weight: About 30 lbs. Neutered: YES Housebroken: YES Kennel Trained: YES Vaccines: Current Microchip: YES Good with dogs: YES - AMAZING! Good with cats: unknown Good with kids: If the kids are trained :) Handicap: Requires lots of snuggles! January 26, 2026, 12:15 pm

Story

Meet Boochie (aka Booch, aka Kombucha if you’re fancy). Boochie was adopted out in 2021 and, through absolutely no fault of her own, recently found herself back with us. Huge shout-out to her previous adopters for doing the right thing and honoring the contract — once a NorthStar dog, always a NorthStar dog. Now Boochie is ready for a fresh start and her next forever home. She’s older, wiser, and… let’s say, a bit fluffier than she was back in 2021. But don’t judge — she’s on her weight-control food, taking daily walks, and already seeing progress. New year, new Booch! Maybe she’ll even be your accountability buddy in the “healthy habits” department (you know, if you’re into that sort of thing). Boochie is around 7 years old, housebroken, crate trained, and gets along great with her foster brother (a proud NSPR alum himself). She weighs in at about 66 pounds — down from 69 just three weeks ago — so yes, she really is putting in the work! Boochie snoozes through the night in her crate like a total pro and will even hang out in there during the day with the door open. She’s also an excellent work-from-home co-worker and will quietly supervise from her spot by your desk. With other dogs, Boochie is friendly but still learning her manners — she tends to be a little extra with toys and snacks (with dogs, not humans), and her play style is very “in your face, let’s be best friends RIGHT NOW.” A chill, tolerant dog who can help teach her the ropes would be ideal. Her favorite hobby? FETCH. Capital letters absolutely necessary. For her size, she’s surprisingly active, agile, and downright enthusiastic about chasing down a tennis ball. Leash walking? Well… it’s a bit chaotic, but she’s working on that too. If Boochie’s mix of sweetness, sass, and self-improvement vibes is speaking to you, fill out an application and don’t forget to mention Boochie TX! NOTE: We have included picture of Boochie from 2021 when she was younger and, um, thinner :)January 18, 2026, 4:56 pm

Story

If you’re looking for a dog who checks every single box, Piston is your guy. At 2.5 years old and 45 lbs, he’s the perfect “just right” size — big enough for adventures, small enough for couch snuggles. Piston LOVES people of all ages and gets along beautifully with other dogs. He’s even been polite with cats! Outside, he shines as a running buddy or park explorer, so an active adult or a yard to zoom in would make him one happy pup. Inside? He’s pure chill — relaxed, respectful, and happy to nap while you go about your day. This clever boy is: Housetrained Crate-trained Obedience-trained (sit, lay, and paw — nailed it!) Neutered, vaccinated, & heartworm negative A full-night sleeper and potty-signal pro Piston’s previous owner became ill and could no longer care for him, so he’s looking for a new family to love with that big, loyal heart of his. He’s easy, he’s sweet, he’s ready — all he needs is someone to give him his forever home.

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Senior

Size

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cali is a 8-year-old, 45 lb pup who has a very sad story, and one that stayed with all of us. She spent 8 years in a home with the same owner, her whole world, until he sadly passed away. No one knew for some time so Cali was left alone in the house with her deceased owner. When she was finally discovered, she was understandably terrified, confused, and heartbroken. Cali was picked up by animal control, and we were asked if we could help save her. The moment we met her, we fell in love. Is she shy? Yes. Skittish? Absolutely. But never once has she shown an ounce of aggression. Cali bonds quickly with her favorite people and, while she may always be a sensitive girl, she truly loves her humans once she feels safe. She does well with other dogs and may actually enjoy living with a canine companion. Although Cali is 8 years old, you would never know it — she still has so much life and love to give. Cali is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $205. This incredibly sweet girl has stolen our hearts, and we know she will do the same for the right home.
