Will you love me...forever? Hi, my name is Annie &

Will you love me...forever? Hi, my name is Annie & I’m in need of a new home because sadly my mom passed away. I love my #NorthStarPetRescue foster home, but I’ve been waiting for my happily ever after since July. Four whole months, crazy right?! Especially since I’m a very sweet senior that loves people. I love to go on walks & enjoy greeting all the people we meet along the way. I am housebroken, crate trained & I’m pretty smart too! I even know Sit, Give Paw, Lay Down. I am looking for a home where I can be the only pet but if you #AdoptMe, you will find that I’m really all YOU need! I’m a loyal n’ lovable gal who just wants to be WITH YOU! I am the #PAWfect balance of playfulness & laziness. Yup, I’m just as happy playing with my toys as I am snuggling up with YOU! #OptToADOPT ME - ANNIE! Learn more at www.NorthStarPets.org

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that this handsome #hound is still waiting for a forever home?! Hi, my name is BIGGIE SMALLS! I’m a majestic & energetic #Redbone #Coonhound. Yup, I am truly #houndtastic! I am super affectionate & get along GREAT with other dogs. Dog park fun, I’m in! I am about 3 years old & I’m a big boy at about 75lbs. Looking for a friendly big goof to love?! Well, what are you waiting for, #OptToAdopt me - Biggie Smalls! Learn more about me at www.NorthStarPets.org, you can fill out an application to #AdoptMe there too! #NorthStarPetRescue #NSPR #AdoptDontShop
