Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Flower is a stunning 3 year old, 46 lb. Golden Retriever/Belgian Tervuren mix. This amazing girl is truly as sweet as she is visually appealing. Poor Flower was chained outside her entire life by a very cruel owner and had very little human contact, so when she initially came to us pregnant she was very mistrusting and fearful of people. Those who knew Flower or heard stories of her from her foster mom in her early days in foster care in NY almost do not recognize the dog she has blossomed into. Flower gave birth to 8 stunning petals on 06/21, who are now all looking for homes of their own, and it is clear this was not her first litter; the shelter she was surrendered to has even received one puppy from a previous litter of hers.
This darling girl is a little timid at first, which is not surprising considering all that she had been through, but she now trusts her foster mom so implicitly (she even lets her foster mom clip her nails while she lays on her back!). Flower LOVES receiving belly rubs, kisses, and cuddles from her people and doesn’t hesitate to inform you that you’ve stopped petting her and need to start again. She gets along fabulously with the multiple other dogs in her foster home of all ages and sizes and ignores her senior feline foster sister. This doll is housetrained, walks well on the leash, and is working on her basic commands. Flower is still learning about all the amazing things she has missed out on and that the world isn’t such a scary place. Though initially a bit timid in new situations, it doesn’t take long to win her over with a few snacks and some loving. She has been an amazing mother to her 8 babies and now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby for life.
Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (www.anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible, organization. We are an all volunteer group, so after submitting your application, if you don't hear back from us within a few days, please e-mail us at adoption@anewchancear.org. Be sure to read about the adoption process (http://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-process/) on our website, so you'll know what to expect and fill out all fields on the adoption application (http://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/) or we won't be able to process it. We are a foster-based rescue and do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. Please do not contact us requesting a meeting with a dog because we are an all-volunteer organization, and these requests tie up our volunteers who could instead be checking applications.
As you can imagine, we are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (http://anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We do not have a shelter facility and we provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering, and microchipping before transporting our dogs. Then, we provide whatever follow up care is necessary while they are in foster care. All of this is very expensive and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources, so if you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (http://anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through your kindness and that of supporters like you that we are "changing lives...one tail at a time" by providing our dogs with "A New Chance." (www.anewchancear.org)
