BOONTON — Boonton Mayor Matthew DiLauri officially cut the ribbon during the Grand Opening Celebration of The NorthStar Pet Rescue located at 117 Washington Street.
NorthStar is a group of passionate volunteers committed to saving these innocent dogs and finding them a new forever home. NorthStar Pet Rescue, founded in October 2017, and although they might be a relatively new name among New Jersey animal rescues, you may recognize some of their from the work they’ve done volunteering with other rescues to help animals over the past decade. NorthStar is 100% dedicated to operating in a 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 has achieved the Bronze certification level from GuideStar, the highest rating available to a new organization!
Support from generous donors is the engine that makes the organization run and allows them to effect positive change and save lives. The costs associated with vetting and transporting a dog are extremely high. They make every attempt to cover the expenses through adoption fees. Like most rescues, NorthStar operates on a stringent budget that leaves little room for unexpected expenses such as veterinary emergencies and dogs with serious medical issues. None of the board members receive a penny in salary, and they have no employees. All donations goes 100% towards directly helping care for the animals that they rescue.
