It’s #NationalCatDay, now that’s the SPIRIT! 😻 Hi, my name is Spirit! I’m a beautiful 8 week old Tortie that was recently rescued from an upstate NY colony. I am #NorthStarPetRescue’s very first feline, MEOW! I really lucked out, because now I’m living large in a comfy #NSPR foster home in NJ with my foster sister Nala, my new #BFF! As you can see, we have tons of fun! I love it here but a forever home is my true wish! 🌟 #OptToAdopt me, Spirit! Learn more at www.northstarpets.org, you can fill out an application to #AdoptMe there too!

Hi, my name is Eezie (aka “EZ")! I’m a gorgeou

Hi, my name is Eezie (aka “EZ")! I’m a gorgeous 5-year-old, 44 pound #GermanShepherd mix gal in need of a new home! Sadly, I was surrendered to animal control when my pawrent became too ill to care for me. Now I’m settling in at my loving #NorthStarPetRescue foster home in Texas and so far so good! Yup, I’m EEZIE! I am doing great in my crate when left alone and from what my foster mom can see so far, I seem to be housetrained too. I am good on a leash and I love to get brushed. I’m an all around sweetie who is great with other dogs of all sizes! I pay no mind to the cats too. I am initially a bit shy with new people but once I get comfy, I am super friendly and ready for fun! I have not been around kids just yet, but my foster feels I would do well as a family dog, but let’s stick to older kids to be on the safe side. I am looking for a home with a fenced-in yard where I can romp and play, hopefully with a canine companion to pal around with too. That would be fab! Learn more about me at NorthStarPets.org, you can fill out an application to #AdoptMe there too!
