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 XP Dash - Morristown, NJ

Dash is a gentle, calm, and affectionate dog who thrives on companionship and just being near his people. He has a sweet, soulful presence and brings a peaceful energy to the home. He doesn’t bark, isn’t destructive, and is incredibly low maintenance. He enjoys his daily walks but is also perfectly content lounging on the couch or napping in a sunny spot. Dash is also totally housetrained and walks nicely on a leash. Dash is very very social with dogs and humans. He’s been around LOTS of other dogs and does really well with calm, mellow pups who match his vibe. Overly playful dogs (that specifically try to jump on him and be physical) make him a little uncomfortable, so we think he'd do best in a home as either the only dog or with another senior or lower energy dog. Dash's Backstory: Dash was adopted from an animal shelter in 2019. When his owner could no longer care for him, Dash was recently at risk of being returned to the shelter system. We took him in temporarily as a foster dog just to keep him out of the shelter, and it’s been a joy having him - he’s been nothing but sweet and easy to care for. We’re unfortunately not in a position to adopt him ourselves long-term, so we’re doing everything we can to find him the forever home he deserves. If you are interested in giving Dash a loving retirement home, please contact [email protected] or 973-294-8206. Dash is currently located in Morristown, NJ

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.
