My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A little Chihuahua with a nubbin of a tail sat in a Texas shelter up until she was about to give birth. NorthStar heard about Triscuit's situation - they whisked her out of the shelter & had her flown to NJ to a wonderful maternity foster! This little gal is about 2 years old, weighs under 10 pounds. On 10/4/2024, Triscuit gave birth to 5 beautiful babies - 4 girls and one boy - known as "The Cracker Crew" because they are named after different types of crackers!

Unfortunately, Triscuit also tested positive for heartworm. She will be weaning her puppies when they are 6 weeks old. Then she will be available for adoption and she will also begin her heartworm treatment at NorthStar's veterinarian. But if ever a sweet little mama deserved a happy ending, it's Triscuit!

Triscuit's foster mom tells us this girl gets along fine with both dogs and cats. She is sweet but timid, seems to be mostly housetrained and is fine in a crate. She will need a little work on her leash skills though.

If you'd like to meet Triscuit in the hopes of bringing her into your family, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for TRISCUIT TX!

More about this rescue

In many areas of the country, especially in the South, the situation for animals is desperate: Chained outside and starving, homeless and running loose, or just simply no longer wanted and abandoned in an overburdened and underfunded facility that can’t possibly take another. For these animals, there is not much hope…except to look in the night sky for the North Star, their only way out. We are a group of passionate volunteers committed to saving these innocent dogs and finding them a new forever home. NorthStar Pet Rescue was founded in 2017, and although we might be a relatively new name among New Jersey animal rescues, you may recognize some of us from the work we’ve done volunteering with other rescues to help animals over the past decade. We are 100% dedicated to operating in an safe, transparent, and ethical manner and to ensuring the best veterinary practices are followed with regards to the care and transport of our animals. NorthStar Pet Rescue is IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN: 81-5348036).
