More about the shelter
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).
Potential adopters will submit an adoption application. The adopters information will be screened including veterinary and personal references. After the first round of screening they will get the chance to meet the pet. If it is a good match, as deemed by NSPR volunteers, the adopter will complete an adoption contract and pay the fee of 375.00. All animals will be spayed/neutered and fully vetted prior to adoption. The only exception would be small puppies in which case the adopter will submit an additional deposit refundable upon proof of spay/neuter. In the event an animal is no longer wanted, the adoption contract will stipulate that the animal always gets returned to us, and is never sold, given away, or surrendered to another rescue or shelter.

Meet Scrappie, a senior scruffy boy who was adopted from North Ocean County Animal facility but later returned when his owner became ill. Scrappie is a 13-year-old Cairn Terrier mix with a personality of his own. He is friendly with everyone he meets, enjoys being petted, and will seek attention. If the weather is nice, he loves to be outside hanging out on the deck. Otherwise, he is a couch potato. Scrappie LOVES being with people & will always nuzzle up to you on the couch or find his way onto your lap. He is a true lap dog & his foster says that she can never sit on the couch without Scrappie being beside her. Scrappie weighs 30 pounds - he is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines.
Scrappie is a friendly guy who loves people & visitors to the house. He is good with the young family members (ages 2, 3 and 5 years of age) who visit frequently. He does love his toys and is good at keeping himself entertained. Scrappie has been around other dogs and cats in the past and currently lives with two other dogs and a cat with no issues. Scrappie is very easy-going and enjoys hanging out with the group.
Scrappie is also good on leash, easy to handle and would make a great addition to any home. This scruffy boy still has lots of pep in this his step! He knows some basic commands like Sit, Come, Stay, Down & Shake. We feel that he would make a good pet for just about any home.
If you feel like you would like to bring Scrappie into your home, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for him by name, SCRAPPIE NJ. The adoption fee for Scrappie is $250.
