My story

Twinings: The Little Gentleman with a Texas Tale Do I look like I was born on the streets of Texas? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. But believe it or not, that’s exactly where my story started—dodging cars, scrounging for food, just trying to survive. And then it happened: I got hit by a car. No family, no help, just pain and fear and the overwhelming thought that maybe this was it for me. But here’s where everything changed. Some amazing people with NorthStar Pet Rescue saw something in me—a spark worth saving—and they swept me off those streets and into a new life. A life where I didn’t have to fight to stay alive, but where I could start learning how to live. My name is Twinings (yeah, like the tea—because I’m warm, comforting, and a little fancy now), and I’m about a year old. I’m still a little guy—just 10 pounds—but I’ve got the heart of a lion and the soul of an old gentleman. I came to NorthStar with a broken pelvis, so my recovery started with a whole lotta crate rest and quiet time at my foster mom’s house. She’s been my safe place. My bones are healing—maybe not textbook perfect, but I walk and run just fine. The only thing I ask? Help me out with stairs, please. I’ll gladly let you scoop me up. Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m sweet, gentle, and crazy polite. I wait to be invited into rooms (like I said—gentleman). I’m crate trained, house trained, and I take correction like a champ. No tantrums here, just tail wags. I absolutely LOVE other dogs—big ones, little ones, all of ’em. I really do need another dog in the home. It helps me feel secure, confident, and just… happier. Oh—and I’m taking the “no puppy pledge” next week (yup, neuter day is coming), so I’ll need a couple weeks of R&R afterward. After that? I’ll be ready to leave my Texas past behind and become a full-blown Jersey boy. If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances, in rooting for the underdog (literally), and in opening your heart to a tiny survivor with a huge spirit, then I think we were meant to find each other. Submit your application and ask for Twinings. He’s ready for the next chapter—will it be with you?June 17, 2025, 9:41 am
