Story
Meet Pink – The Tiny Survivor with a Big Personality At 10 years old and just 15 lbs, Pink has already lived through more than most dogs ever should. Rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation, she arrived in our care pregnant, malnourished, and in need of immediate help. Sadly, her puppies did not survive after an emergency C-section, but Pink’s fight to live—and to thrive—has never wavered. Born with a birth defect called "small eye," and dealing with the toll of years of neglect, Pink needed months of loving care before she was healthy enough to be spayed. Even then, her recovery was slow, and something still didn’t seem quite right. After a few days of unusual behavior, her foster mom witnessed what appeared to be seizure activity. Pink was started on seizure medication, which she now takes twice daily—and the good news is, she’s been seizure-free for over 3 months! Pink is currently in a loving foster home with other dogs. She definitely likes to be the Queen Bee when first meeting new pups, but she settles in quickly and knows how to share her space. Her favorite things? Walks, car rides, and keeping watch over her home—Pink takes her role as protector seriously and isn’t afraid to let you know she’s on duty! Despite everything she’s endured, Pink is full of life, love, and a little bit of sass. She’s looking for a forever home that will cherish her golden years, keep her on her meds, and treat her like the tiny royalty she is. If you’re looking for a loyal, spunky companion with a survivor’s heart, Pink is your girl. Pink is microchipped, spayed, up to date on vaccines and her adoption fee is $205. She is about 10 years old and weighs 15 lbs.  Apply to adopt PINK LONESTAR at www.ehrdogs.org  (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.

Story
Meet Edna Edna is a 12-year-old, 5-pound Texas native who has been through some things—and would like it noted that she is over it. Formerly homeless, now rescued, she’s entered her well-deserved “tiny, grumpy diva” era.   After seeing the vet, the official diagnosis is: hot mess. Not just any hot mess—a fixable hot mess, but Edna would prefer you not dwell on that. She’s focusing on her narrative. She’s diabetic and requires daily insulin injections (which she considers deeply inconvenient and possibly a personal attack). She doesn’t see or hear very well, so if you startle her, that’s on you. Boundaries matter. She’ll also need to be spayed once her blood sugar decides to cooperate.   Edna can be a little spicy—but honestly, she’s earned it. She’s small, she doesn’t feel great, and yet she still demands to be held like the royalty she clearly is. Her hobbies include judging you silently, burrowing under blankets like a dramatic little burrito, and accepting affection strictly on her terms. Despite her sass, Edna is a champion snuggler and wants nothing more than a warm lap and a human who understands that love sometimes comes with a side of attitude. We’ll keep sharing updates as this tiny icon continues her journey from “hot mess” to “absolute legend.”   If you'd like to apply to adopt Edna, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for her by name - EDNA TX!   March 23, 2026, 3:08 pm
