My story

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

Hi, my name is Possum, I enjoy lazy afternoons on the couch watching Gordon Ramsey cooking shows or Star Trek. Yes, you may pet me and tell my I'm pretty, and feed me all the treats! Especially Chicken jerky or those Baa Baa Lamb bars from barkbox. Here is my story...

Despite being through some absolutely horrible circumstances... (hit by car and badly broken leg, severe respiratory infection leading to bronchitis, a heart murmur, and ending up on the 'last call list' in Texas)... Possum is always friendly, happy and will greet you with a tail wag. And as the days are sunnier and warmer, this gal has enjoyed spending more time outside enjoying the sunshine. We are looking for a home for Possum that has no stairs, is not an apartment, no big boisterous dogs or young rowdy kids as she is still fragile as she heals.

Are you looking for a calm, easy, small pooch to sleep at the foot of your bed, next to you on the couch, or at your feet in the office while you work? At just 11 lbs Possum is the perfect little companion.

Possum enjoys the company of other dogs her size, likes to bark at the neighborhood stray cats, plays with squeaky/crinkly toys, and most of all loves a good feed - only the best quality Hills small bites and homecooked lean chicken breast will do. Possum is currently re-learning potty training (after major leg surgery). She is beginning to use the doggie door but may have accidents if left alone inside for more than a few hours. However, she is improving daily and if you can commit to loving her, being patient with her, and continuing her physiotherapy to get her leg strong and healthy, the rewards she will bring you are immense!

If you want to bring into your life a little dog who really needs your love and spoiling, please consider Possum. If you would like to meet her, please fill out an adoption application to adopt this little nugget at www.northstarpets.org and ask for POSSUM TX.

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).
