I’m Yours 💜 COSTELLO ADOPTED! 🥳
We sprung this happy little #Beagle mix boy from a shelter in south Jersey. Costello settled into his comfy foster home so we could ready him for adoption, which included surgery to repair a diaphragmatic hernia. All healed up now, our boy is ready for his #happilyeverafter and…yesterday, he got it! Happy ‘tails’ Costello, we love you!

I just had my last surgical recheck and the vet said I am fully cleared for adoption! My pins are solid and haven’t moved. My hip and knee look and feel great. My weight is #pawfect and is building muscle. So #pawesome! After my appt, my foster pawrents took me for a pup cup from Starbucks and to the pet store to pick out a toy and treats to celebrate!!! Now there’s only one more thing for me to pick out…a furever home!

YAY for Family 🌟
TOBLERONE ADOPTED! 🎉
We spotted lil Toblerone, with his big ears & shiny black coat, in need of rescue at an overcrowded Texas shelter. Thanks to one of our fab fosters, we quickly got him out of there! Ready for a home of his own, Toblerone made his way to New Jersey ISO love. Good news, he didn’t have to search long because this fab family was already excited to meet him and bring him #HomeSweetHome! 🥰

Happy ‘tails’ Toblerone nka Marvin, we love you! 😍

PEPITA…The dog in the box….ADOPTED! 💕🎉
Someone had left a tiny dog in a box outside the gate to the municipal shelter. It was a Friday night, the shelter was closed until Monday, it was dark & cold. A rescuer pulled in to discover this little #Chihuahua girl, terrified & trembling in the same spot someone left her. She very quickly determined the reason the little girl stayed put, she is blind. She got her tiny new friend into her warm car & started searching for a rescue. At the same time, one of our founders was browsing Facebook & saw the plea for help. Finding a foster for a dog in immediate need is hard but fortunately one of our long time fosters had an open spot & we were able to get her to safety. So, that very same night, we welcomed our lil ol’ lady “Pepita” to our #NorthStarPetRescue fam where she has known nothing but love ever since. Family often extends beyond the inner core, especially in rescue. So many loving people have given their time, love & care to our sweet Pepita as she embarked on her path from “The dog in the box” to her #happilyeverafter. From all those who were touched by her story via our #GivingTuesday fundraiser & donated towards her care -to- her loving foster mom Heather who has cared for her the past several months -to- #NSPR volunteer Vera who drove 12+ hours across TX to get Pepita -to- NSPR’s Teryn who then loved on her for a few nights so she could kick off Pepita’s volunteer Transport journey from TX to NJ, doing the first leg of the trek -to- NSPR Jack who did the final leg…and the amazing 30 volunteers of KHTC in between! Yesterday, she arrived to our adoption center & right into the loving lap of her new furever mom, who was eagerly awaiting her arrival to bring her #homesweethome. As we mentioned earlier in this post, family often extends beyond the inner core, especially in rescue, & we are so beyond grateful for that. ❤️ Happy ‘tails’ Pepita, we love you! 🥰 #northstarhappytails
