Story
Meet Kylo, a resilient pup who was originally rescued from a Texas shelter, overcoming a broken jaw and a bad skin condition. Life improved dramatically for Kylo when he made his way to New Jersey, where he was adopted for a time but returned when his adopters couldn’t provide the time and training he needed. At about 5 years old and 45 pounds, Kylo is a playful dog who thrives with plenty of chew toys and the company of another balanced dog that can match his energy as he has enjoyed many play dates and sleepovers with a volunteer’s pup!  He is neutered, current on shots and microchipped.  Kylo gets a bit anxious in social situations and is most comfortable when given a quiet space while company is around (he's fine with it and we'll even provide a white noise machine for him!). Despite his initial nervousness, Kylo's a bundle of joy with a playful spirit who enjoys being carried around like a baby by his favorite volunteer. He would flourish in a home with a confident handler.  Kylo is looking for an active adopter who has time to spend with him, as he loves attention and will curl up in your lap given the chance. He’s also housetrained, goes to the door when nature calls, and is incredibly food-motivated—give him a treat, and he'll gladly follow your lead! Plus, he's a fan of car rides, making him the perfect travel buddy. Kylo's adoption fee is $415. If you’re ready for an energetic companion with a heart full of love, apply to adopt Kylo Lonestar at www.EHRDOGS.org!November 6, 2024, 12:45 pm

Story
Meet Turtle, a sweet, goofy, handsome pup of 2 years weighing in at 55 lbs, who is on the hunt for his forever home! Turtle's journey began with his pup siblings named Rabbit and Squirrel. One day, the trio enjoyed a fun car ride with their former owner to visit a local dog park. They were so excited to be going to play and run. But then, they heard something. It was the sound of the car they knew and the owner they loved driving away without them. Suddenly alone, their happiness quickly turned into confusion and panic. But 11th Hour Rescue stepped in, bringing them to safety and helping them to find new and loving homes. Squirrel and Rabbit have been adopted while Turtle is still looking for his special place. Turtle is house-trained and gets along with other dogs after a proper introduction. Turtle loves to play with toys and can keep you entertained with his antics! Despite his size, he enjoys pretending he is a lap pet because he loves being close to his people. He may be a bit shy initially, but don’t let that fool you—once he bonds with you, he’ll be your loyal shadow. His adoption fee is $415. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, too. If you have the loving, furever home where Turtle can feel safe and cherished then please apply to adopt him at EHRdogs.org and be sure to ask for this sweet boy by name, TURTLE NJ!December 17, 2024, 6:06 pm

Petey came to EHR along with his brother Wagner when they were puppies. Both were adopted but now Petey has been returned to EHR's care. Being back at the kennel has been very stressful for Petey, but he has some great volunteer friends who have nothing but good things to say about him. He has lost his confidence and can be nervous with new places & things, but gives you unconditional love once he trusts. He looks to his people for direction and confidence, so he would benefit from experienced owners who can help him with this. He has gone through obedience training and is a fun loving boy. He absolutely loves going for car rides, too! Petey gets along with other dogs, but we think he would do best in a home without children right now. Can you help Petey get his second chance at finding a true forever home? If so, please fill out an application at EHRDOGS.ORG and be sure to ask for him by name! You will not be sorry you did!November 6, 2024, 12:45 pm

Meet Brock, the goofy bundle of energy who’s guaranteed to melt your heart with his sweet, playful antics. This curious boy has moved around a lot in his short life and is now on the hunt for his forever family. He’s a fantastic addition to any active household, whether it’s an adventurous couple, an outdoorsy family, or anyone seeking a hiking or running buddy! Eager to please and incredibly treat-motivated, Brock is quick to pick up new obedience skills and is always looking for his next learning opportunity. Since he’s still figuring out how to handle his excitement, he’d thrive best in a home with experienced dog owners who can keep up with his lively spirit. The youngest residents should be at least teenagers.  After a good play session, Brock is perfectly content to entertain himself with his toys or hang with you on the couch to watch a movie. At bedtime, Brock curls up quietly in his crate and sleeps all night long. He’s a sucker for car rides and loves to join you as the perfect copilot. He's got a knack for finding dogs that match his energetic personality, having already made several buddies at the kennel (check out the video of him playing with his buddy Huck).  Ready for a sweet, goofy companion who’ll bring loads of joy to your life? Head over to ehrdogs.org and mention Brock by name when you apply!November 6, 2024, 12:45 pm

Introducing the one and only McGee! This 14-month-old, 50-pound bundle of affection and charm is on the hunt for his forever family, and trust us, any lucky family that brings him home will have their hearts stolen! McGee is the ultimate sweetie with a personality that will melt you every single day. Just wait until you see his adorable smile when you walk through the door – it's impossible not to fall head over heels! McGee is already house-trained, crate-trained, and an absolute people-pleaser. He walks like a pro on a leash, even when another dog is tagging along. Whether it’s car rides, fetch, or endless playtime, McGee is always game! He has a passion for toys, and his top picks are interactive wonders like the Kong feeder, Woggle ball, and chewing Nyla bones. But don’t hand him a soft toy unless you want to see him dissect it with surgical precision – tough toys are much more his style! Currently, McGee shares his home with another dog, and they’re living their best lives together – playing, napping, and strolling side by side. He absolutely LOVES making new doggy friends, although he does get a little overzealous with the greetings. A meet-and-greet is a must for potential doggy siblings, but once they’re buddies, they’ll be inseparable! McGee is best suited for a home without small children. If there are children, they should be older teens who understand his exuberant, larger-than-life energy. He’s also happiest with a fenced-in yard to run and play! McGee is a smart cookie – he knows “sit,” “paw,” “lie down,” “come,” “touch,” “leave it,” and “go to your bed.” He is diligently working on stay and he will even sit patiently for his food before you ask him to! Check out his profile for videos of this charming dog showing off his skills! McGee is generally even-tempered but does have a bit of a sensitivity to cleaning tools like vacuums, brooms, mops, and spray bottles. Who likes cleaning, anyway, though? His foster family is working on this little quirk, and he's making progress! His foster mom can't say enough good things about him: “He is the gentlest, goofiest dog ever! I think he should have been named Rabbit because of his ability to jump straight up!! It’s the funniest sight! All of a sudden, he just pops into the air! He loves to play, but he also loves to snuggle. All you have to say is “nap time!” And he plops on the couch with you and happily snores away! He totally thinks he’s a lap dog and I’m happy to let him be! His energy and activity levels basically match whatever the household’s is. If it’s quiet, he’s quiet. If you’re playing, he’s playing. He is always just eager to be with you.” McGee is current on immunizations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $415, and he’s ready to add all his love and happiness to a lucky family. If you're looking for a spirited, playful, and affectionate pup, McGee is your guy! Apply today at ehrdogs.org and ask for MCGEE LONESTAR – the dog who’ll greet you with a giant, heart-melting smile every time you come home!January 2, 2025, 8:21 pm

Hello, potential paw-rents! I’m Lolly, a spry 4-year-old pup weighing in at a snuggly 48 lbs. I’m a people person through and through; I haven’t met a stranger I didn’t like which makes me even more eager to meet YOU! My brother Rocket and I were rescued from an apartment where we were found after being abandoned. We were quite emaciated from the ordeal (see my last picture on my 11th Hour Rescue profile). Since being rescued, though, we were brought back to a healthy weight. Rocket has already found his FURever home, but I’m still searching for my lifelong family. In the meantime, my foster paw-rents have given me a taste of the love I’m hoping to find forever. I absolutely adore playing with my three foster pup brothers (proof is in my videos), but I’m also perfectly content as the only dog in the house if that’s what you have in mind. I’m a pro at house-training and crate-training—basically, I’m a super well-behaved lady! I know how to sit, lay down, and give both paws, and I’m pretty good with “wait” during meal times. Food is my ultimate motivator, so I’m eager to learn new tricks and commands quickly. On a leash, I do get a little too excited and pull, but I’m working on it and with a little patience, I promise I’ll be a fantastic walking buddy. When I’m not curled up on your lap, basking in all the affection you can give, I’m out in the yard, having a blast, or chewing on my favorite bone. Oh, and I’ve got a thing for my Lamb Chop—he’s my special buddy! I love cuddling and chilling, playing, or taking walks; really whatever you want to do where we can spend time together! When I'm excited, I make the silliest noises that will surely make you smile and laugh. I do deal with some allergy issues from time to time but they are well-maintained with a monthly medication. It doesn’t bother me; I’m still the same goofy, loving, and affectionate Lolly you’ll adore. Here’s a fun fact: I LOVE wearing sweaters. My winter wardrobe is off the charts because, even though I’ve packed on the pounds and am feeling great, I still can’t stand the cold. Sweaters are my go-to for cozy comfort!  My adoption fee is $415, and my rescue has already taken care of my spay, given me all the vaccines I'm supposed to have, and microchipped me for added security. So, if you’re looking for a loyal friend to brighten your days, look no further—I’m just a paw away! Apply to adopt LOLLY NJ at EHRdogs.org!November 6, 2024, 12:45 pm

Story
This brindle beauty with the mile-high ears is named Riley and she's as sweet as she is stunning! Riley's mom has health issues and can no longer care for her 10-year-old Pit mix. For the past 6 months she has been looking for a new home for Riley where she'll be well cared for and loved the way she deserves. Mom has reached out to family, friends, groomer, vet, co-workers and the kennel owner where she's boarded her. Everyone loves Riley, but no one is able to take her!  From Mom:  Riley is housebroken and absolutely LOVES children, car rides and walks.  Her nickname is Beans or Beanies. Her favorite place to be is right next to someone on the couch. When she sits up next to me I can ask her for hugs and she puts her head on my chest and gives me her paw. I think she would like to play with other dogs but just hasn't had many chances to do so.  One of my previous dog walkers did bring 2 other dogs here and Riley got along very well with them and was even playing with one of them. Riley gets overly excited and pulls very hard when she gets close to other dogs while on a leash.  But I have boarded her at the kennel and there has never been an issue.  Riley has only seen cats but never been around them. She loves everyone she meets and is an excellent watchdog. Though Riley is 10 she has the energy of a 5-6 year old.  At her last visit to the vet on Oct 7 (it was a new doctor) he was extremely surprised at her age since she was so energetic. He said that she is in excellent health and an ideal weight.  Riley is currently up-to-date on her shots and medications. She is spayed and also microchipped, and weighs 43 lbs.   Riley is not a NorthStar Pet Rescue dog but we are helping network her for a new home. If you are interested in finding out more about Riley please contact Sheryl directly at sheryltar@gmail.com - Riley currently lives in Hackettstown, NJ. December 3, 2024, 3:20 pm

WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals’ lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care. Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with an adoption donation. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue.

Meet Dillon. He's a sweet and energetic 3 year old pitbull mix at around 68 lbs. He absolutely loves love and is a huge cuddle bug. In the time we have had him, he has never known a stranger and wants scratches from every person he meets. He loves any chew toy he can get and will chase any ball you throw though he doesn't quite understand the concept of fetching yet. He is still working on his manners but is very quick to please. We think he would be happiest as a solo dog mainly because he wants all of your attention and love.

Lucy is a beautiful little Boxer mix girl, about 10 years old and 40 lbs, who loves going for walks and playing outdoors.  She’s had a fair amount of training and knows her basic commands, but as with any dog, she could use an owner who will keep up her training. Lucy is cautious upon meeting new people but once she trusts you, her loving side shines through.  She has a strong personality that requires an experienced dog owner. Lucy loves to go for rides in the car, walks at the park, swimming, playing with her toys, and spending time with her favorite volunteers. She has spent far too long waiting for her forever family to come along (almost 7 years in the shelter...). Adopters are often turned off by the fact that she will require multiple meets to learn its ok to trust you. Will anybody take the time to love Lucy..? If you’d be interested in meeting Lucy, please fill out an application and be sure to mention her name!November 6, 2024, 12:45 pm

Meet Violet Beauregarde Lonestar, a 7 year-old, 60-pound bundle of energy! Saved from a Texas shelter with minutes to spare, this beautiful girl is eager to find her forever home. She would thrive with active owners who can match her energy level, and although she's good with dogs, she appreciates canine friends who mind their manners. Violet loves a good game of fetch and will spend hours in our kiddie pools if we let her.  Violet is excellent in the car and a superb walking companion; she even enjoys a good run with her volunteer friends. She is sweet and cuddly but sometimes prone to over-excitement, so she would do best in a home with older children, if any. An owner with some dog experience, who can provide structure, rules, and a quiet home will be her perfect match. Since she can become protective of her people and space, she may need to be put away when guests come over, but she's perfectly fine with that!

SeaBiscuit here, looking to sail away to a good home! I narrowly escaped being euthanized for space at an overcrowded shelter but a kind family saw my photo and decided to foster me. Sea is 2-3 years old and 62lbs. My fosters say I just melt into them and can’t get enough cuddling and snuggling. I am good with their teenage daughter and love her so much. I am friendly, playful, fun, know sit, give kisses, affectionate. I am house trained and crate trained. I know sit, lay down commands and I am working on touch, focus, turn, and stay commands. What else do you need to know? I was going to put this message in a bottle but people tell me the internet is faster. So, please consider me, SeaBiscuit and allow me to sail into your home and heart!
