Our NorthStar Heart Dogs

Sometimes you just have to follow your heart! These pups are some of our favorites that we’d really like to find the perfect home for. Please share their stories to help them find their way home, and please consider making a donation towards their ongoing care.

Looking for a tiny love bug?! Well then, I’m you

Looking for a tiny love bug?! Well then, I’m your gal! My name is GiGi and I am an awwwdorable #Chihuahua mix looking for forever love! I am about 5 years old and I’m a small #Chi at only 8 lbs. I am housebroken and crate trained, although I do not really need to be crated. I would actually love to SNUGGLE up in bed WITH YOU if you would like that. I absolutely love riding in the car. In fact, when I see those car keys come out, I will race you to the door so I can go along for the ride. Yup, I am up for joining you on any adventure you wish, I just want to BE WITH YOU! #OptToADOPT ME, GIGI! Learn more at www.NorthStarPets.org #NorthStarPetRescue #NSPR

Want to meet the most precious senior #Chihuahua e

Want to meet the most precious senior #Chihuahua ever? Well, then you are in luck! It’s me, I’m totally that #Chi! My name is FINN and I am headed to #NorthStarPetRescue in NJ to find forever love! I am approximately 8 years old and I’m just a little guy at 8 pounds. I have a head tilt, which I think totally adds to my senior swagger. I also have a grade 3 heart murmur but this does not stop my charming personality from leaping right out. I takes vetmedin twice a day for my heart murmur, no big deal right?! I am super sweet and loving. I am also crate trained, house trained and get along well with all the other animals in my foster home. I sleep in bed with my human foster sister at night, we love to cuddle! I’m just a total sweet heart looking for LOVE! ❤️ #OptToADOPT ME - FINN! Learn more at www.NorthStarPets.org
