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 Malik TX

Meet Malik, a great little guy who's 1-2 years old and weighs 18-20 lbs. He’ll melt your heart at first sight - he’s sweet, loveable, loves to give kisses and likes belly rubs. When you first meet him he’s a little shy - he likes to come up to you when you’re sitting down but will shy away when you want to pick him up. He just needs a little TLC and he will melt in your arms. Malik loves to run and play with all my other dogs and gets along with my cats. He will steal towels that are in his reach. Malik loves his treats - he absolutely loves beef rib bones that are especially for dogs.   If you'd like to meet Malik, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org & be sure to ask for him by name - MALIK 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.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
