Story

Meet Lizard who came to NorthStar along with 6 siblings when his former owners became homeless. All the others have since been adopted but poor Lizard still waits for his forever home. Lizard is a Shih Tzu mix, approximately 1 year old, and weighing just 11 pounds. Lizard does have some “quirks” we think you should know about. He has a very mild case of cherry eye. The vet has checked him out and it does not affect his vision or his tear ducts and is not bothersome at all to him. In fact, his eyesight is perfect! We believe that Lizard’s former owners had their dogs using wee wee pads and they probably had accidents with that many dogs in the house. When he came to NJ, Lizard was very skeptical about grass! But through time and a big doggie sister, he learned to accept and even like it and finally is housebroken for the most part. He sometimes has an accident in the house so it’s best to keep a weewee pad out. Recently he started going potty in his bed and in his crate when it contained blankets. If we remove the bedding from the crate & leave out a wee wee pad, he does better. Occasionally we put him in diapers - The goal is to make him dislike wearing them so much that he only goes outside. So far so good as no accidents in 2 weeks! Lizard would do best in a home without children or possibly children over 10 years old as he has been fearful of sudden movements and has shown he is willing to go after a child but not an adult. He currently has a human sibling who he has grown to love and not want to attack at any movement made. Ideally, Lizard would be best in a home without kids. Though out in public Lizard may seem fearful of other dogs, he is just fine living with them – check out the photos of Lizard with other dogs and with cats, too. He can get jealous but easily overcomes that in less than 48 hours! We feel that Lizard would also be happy in a home where he was an “only dog”. When Lizard was in a foster home in Texas, he was afraid of larger cats. However, he is good with and enjoys the company of smaller cats as you can see in his photos. He will actually groom them and sleep with them. As Lizard is only a year old, there is some puppy energy but he does tire quickly so it’s short lived. He is a Netflix and chill type of dude! And above all he is very cuddly and will fall asleep in your arms like a baby if given the opportunity! Lizard has been neutered, microchipped and brought up to date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this boy is $425. If you are interested in meeting Lizard please consider submitting an adoption application and be sure to mention his name - HC Lizard TX!!!!January 1, 2025, 12:14 pm

Shih Tzu Chihuahua

Details

Story

Mama Etta is a 15-pound Shih Tzu who was rescued from a Texas kill shelter and who gave birth to 5 beautiful pups on 12/1/2024. Per DNA testing the pups are Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes per DNA with a bunch of super mutt thrown in. We believe they won't weigh more than 20 pounds when they are full grown. Etta gave birth to 3 males: Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Chuck Berry along with 2 females: Chaka Khan & Gladys Knight. The puppies are healthy, active puppies who are looking for homes where they will be given the attention and training a puppy needs. They will also require adopters who will not leave them crated all day but who can take them out frequently in the beginning. The adult dog pictured is Mama Etta. NOTE: We do not believe these pups are low/no shed nor are they hypoallergenic. If you are interested in any of the pups, please submit an application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to mention the name of the puppy you are interested in meeting! January 15, 2025, 12:08 pm

Story

This beautiful is Etta - she is a young Shih Tzu who weighs around 15 pounds. On 12/1/2024, Etta gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies who are also available for adoption once they are 8-10 weeks old. Etta has tested positive for heartworm and her treatment will begin at the end of January but she can be adopted anytime. Etta is a super easy going girl, she loves to hang on the couch for snuggles and go for walks. She is crate trained and house trained, gets along with everyone - dogs, cats, kids - but can be tentative when meeting new people. But we have found that she can easily swayed with belly rubs! Before being adopted out, Etta will be spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. If you are interested in adopting this beautiful girl, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for ETTA TX! January 5, 2025, 6:24 pm

Story

Check out the "before" photo of Pirate to see how neglected he was before coming into rescue with NorthStar! But he's had a grooming and looks like a whole new dog! He does have a bulging eye which he will removed right away, hence the name "Pirate". As we find out more about Pirate's personality, we will be updating his bio with new information. He also has a puncture wound in his back, probably from being attacked by another dog. Pirate will be making his way to NJ as soon as possible to find a loving & safe retirement home. If you'd like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org & ask for him by name, PIRATE TX!January 29, 2025, 1:30 pm
