My story

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

Benson is a 13-year-old Dachshund mix who is looking for a new home. His owner became ill and was in the hospital, leaving Benson home alone. One of her coworkers would feed Benson every couple days. When his owner went to a hospice facility, another coworker took Benson to see her one last time. We decided to take Benson into our rescue because he had nowhere to go.

Benson is good with cats and dogs. He enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home and gets along with the cats. He's been around young and older kids and enjoyed cuddling with them. He has learned to use the doggie door at his foster home, but occasionally marks inside (we think this is because the person checking on him wasn't letting him out. He was just dumped food and filled the water bowl). He would make a great family dog and do well in a multi-dog home or as an only dog.

Benson will be microchipped, neutered and brought up to date on his vaccines before heading to his new home. If you're interested in meeting this sweet senior guy, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for BENSON 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).
