3. Mini Hufflepuff TX
Adult (2 years 11 months) · Female · Terrier (long coat)




If you are looking for a loyal companion who brings an automatic dose of magic and joy into every room, Mini Hufflepuff is ready to steal your heart! True to her name, this sweet girl is incredibly devoted, kind, and always ready to make you smile.
Read more about Mini Hufflepuff TX
Mini Hufflepuff is a charming, 3-year-old terrier mix weighing in at a compact 10 pounds—the perfect size companion and an on-the-go sidekick. She was surrendered to our care by her previous elderly owners who simply found themselves with more dogs than they could comfortably provide for. Because she grew up in a multi-pet home, she has fantastic social skills and is fully house-trained. She is a social girl who walks great on a leash, and rides wonderfully in the car, making her the perfect companion for neighborhood strolls and weekend road trips!
She has perfectly mastered the balance between outdoor fun and indoor relaxation time. One of her favorite pastimes is exploring every nook and cranny of a fenced backyard. When she isn't on backyard patrol, she is usually proudly carrying her favorite squeaky toys around the house like tiny prizes. Once she has successfully burned off her playtime energy, Mini Hufflepuff expects her payment in full: epic belly rubs. She will gladly roll over and let you scratch her belly for as long as your hand can manage!
The Ideal Home:
Mini Hufflepuff is a social butterfly who fits beautifully into a family dynamic. Thanks to her upbringing, she is friendly with other dogs, coexists wonderfully with cats, and does great with older children, 7 and up, who can respect her space and join in on her toy-tossing fun. She would do best in a home with a fenced backyard where she can safely explore, sunbathe, and trot around with her toys to her heart's content. She is past the chaotic puppy phase, completely house-trained, and packed with a lifetime of love to give. In other words, she is perfect!!
If you would like to meet sweet little Mini Hufflepuff, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention her name!

5. Snowy TX
Young (9 months) · Female · Pomeranian / Husky / Mixed (long coat)



MEET SNOWY! Beautiful, Blue-Eyed and Looking for a Fresh Start!
Snowy is an absolutely gorgeous Pomsky (Pomeranian/Husky mix) who will celebrate her first birthday on Christmas Day! Weighing under 20 pounds, this fluffy little girl has stunning blue eyes, a beautiful coat and a whole lot of personality!
Unfortunately, Snowy’s life hasn’t gotten off to the best start. Through no fault of her own, she found herself needing a new home when her owner’s circumstances changed. Living in an RV with a young, energetic puppy simply wasn’t providing the space, exercise or stimulation Snowy needed.
Read more about Snowy TX
Snowy is a sweet, affectionate girl who needs an active, patient and committed home willing to provide the exercise, structure and guidance that a young Pomsky requires.
Now, here’s the important part.
Snowy has demonstrated resource and space guarding behaviors around smaller dogs and has gone after them when she feels her space is being invaded. For this reason, we believe Snowy would do best as the only dog in the home. A home with a larger, compatible dog may be considered with careful introductions and appropriate supervision.
Snowy needs room to run, opportunities to play and, most importantly, someone willing to invest the time in helping her become the best version of herself. She’s still just a puppy, and with the right environment, consistency and guidance, we hope she can thrive.
Snowy doesn’t need perfection. She needs someone who understands her needs and is willing to give her a chance. Please share Snowy’s story and help us find the home she deserves!
If you think Snow would be a good fit for your home, please complete an adoption application at http://www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention her name!

8. Kym's Ginger TX
Senior (8 years) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (long coat)










Meet Ginger, an 8-year-old scruffy Terrier mix who has brought an immense amount of joy and love to her foster home from the very moment she arrived. Fun, energetic, and endlessly affectionate, Ginger makes herself right at home immediately and runs up to excitedly greet anyone who walks through the front door. She is completely house-trained with zero accidents and loves staying active by playing with toys, running around the backyard, and going for walks. When playtime is over, this sweet girl is more than happy to curl up right next to you on the couch for a cozy cuddle session.
Read more about Kym's Ginger TX
Ginger is used to having constant company and thrives best in a home where someone will be around more often than away. She gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs, and while she hasn't lived with small children, she has always been friendly with the neighbors' kids. Due to a history of being told she is not a fan of cats, a feline-free home would suit her best. She is also not a nuisance barker, only speaking up if she spots a squirrel or a deer outside.
Having never been in a crate, Ginger is looking for a home where she doesn't have to start; she prefers sleeping with her humans and gives you plenty of personal space throughout the night. If sleeping arrangements require it, she could likely be trained to settle into a dog bed in your bedroom. Sweet, well-mannered, and full of life, Ginger is ready to bring her bright spirit to a forever family.

How to adopt from Northstar Pet Rescue
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.

Adopting a dog in Morris County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
