Northstar Pet Rescue

In many areas of the country, especially in the South, the situation for animals is desperate: Chained outside and starving, homeless and running loose, or just simply no longer wanted and abandoned in an overburdened and underfunded facility that can’t possibly take another. For these animals, there is not much hope…except to look in the night sky for the North Star, their only way out. We are a group of passionate volunteers committed to saving these innocent dogs and finding them a new forever home. NorthStar Pet Rescue was founded in 2017, and although we might be a relatively new name among New Jersey animal rescues, you may recognize some of us from the work we’ve done volunteering with other rescues to help animals over the past decade. We are 100% dedicated to operating in an safe, transparent, and ethical manner and to ensuring the best veterinary practices are followed with regards to the care and transport of our animals. NorthStar Pet Rescue is IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN: 81-5348036).

Meet Pea TX

Pea is a 12-year-old Chihuahua who lived with her owner lived alone. Sadly, Pea's owner went into an assisted living facility. Pea lived in a very rural area that had no animal shelter and no rescue groups. The neighbors didn't want Pea. They suggested shooting her, since she had nowhere to go. The owner's housekeeper reached out to us, and we didn't hesitate to help.  Pea weighs 7 pounds. She is housetrained and is a true lap dog. Despite her age, she has a lot of pep in her step. She does have luxating patella in both knees, but surgery was not recommended at this time since she's very mobile and not in pain. She also has some lipomas, but the vet said they're benign and very common in older dogs. Pea does well with the other dogs in her foster home. We took her to a fundraising event recently, and she enjoyed being held by kids and adults. She would love to find her new person to enjoy her golden years with, preferably someone who is home quite a bit.  If you'd like to meet sweet Pea, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for PEA TX!

Adoption Process
Potential adopters will submit an adoption application. The adopters information will be screened including veterinary and personal references. After the first round of screening they will get the chance to meet the pet. If it is a good match, as deemed by NSPR volunteers, the adopter will complete an adoption contract and pay the fee of 375.00. All animals will be spayed/neutered and fully vetted prior to adoption. The only exception would be small puppies in which case the adopter will submit an additional deposit refundable upon proof of spay/neuter. In the event an animal is no longer wanted, the adoption contract will stipulate that the animal always gets returned to us, and is never sold, given away, or surrendered to another rescue or shelter.
