My story

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

Mercy is an emaciated puppy, about 5 months old, who was surrendered to a vet's office in Texas by a homeless lady. A local rescue agreed to pay Mercy's bill from funds they raised and Mercy was hospitalized for 19 days while the vet office staff tried to find a place for her to go when funds ran out. Mercy desperately needed a medical foster and rescue. Luckily for her, NorthStar Pet Rescue stepped up and said they'd take over Mercy's medical care.

In those 19 days Mercy was treated for giardia, parasites, anemia, and kidney function issues from supposedly caused by the level of emaciation. Mercy is receiving 100ml of subQ fluids twice a day. She has shown slow improvement and she is eating and drinking very well - she has gained more than 5 pounds so far and now weighs 16.8 pounds as of 10/15! Mercy was very shut down mentally but is definitely coming around and showing her true sweet self in her wonderful foster home. Foster mom says she is good with both dogs and cats and loves children!

Eventually Mercy would need to be spayed and vaccinated but it’s not an option now with her body weight so low and kidney value elevation. She will also be microchipped. When her health is more stable she will be coming to NJ to find a forever home. The adoption fee for this sweet baby is $425.

If you're interested in bringing this sweet baby into your life, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for MERCY 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).
