My story

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

Rizzo came into a Texas animal shelter in a very neglected state. She weighed less than 5 pounds when NorthStar rescued when the vet said she should weigh 7-8 pounds. She has a cataract in the right eye but she can still see shadows - a]cataract is beginning to form in her left eye but currently her sight is good. She has missing teeth but will need a full dental done as well as needing to be spayed. Her foster mom is committed to getting her as healthy as possible - once she does that, she will bring Rizzo to NJ so that she may find a loving, caring forever home.

We believe that Rizzo is about 12 years old. If you are interested in adopting tiny Rizzo, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name - RIZZO TX. The adoption fee for this sweet gal is $250.

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).
