Mission
A New Beginning Animal Rescue is a nonprofit, no-kill animal rescue organization serving Ogden, Layton, and Roy, Utah. We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of abused, abandoned, and homeless cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and rabbits who need of a new beginning and help prepare them for a forever home, through rescue, nurture, and adoption efforts. We believe that euthanasia should be used only as a humane last resort, to prevent further animal suffering.
Vision
We envision a future in which communities do not consider pets as disposable items and embrace their responsibilities as compassionate, responsible guardians and protectors to companion animals.
Goals
Our goal is to thoughtfully reduce unnecessary euthanasia rates; help change the "throw-away" mentality and improve Weber and Davis Counties’ animal welfare with compassion and respect through community building and public education on the mutual benefits of responsible pet parenting; importance of pet sterilization, and the humane treatment of animals.
We strive to ensure that each and every animal rescued by ANBAR is cared for; treated with compassion, respect, and dignity. The health and welfare of the animals that come to us is our priority. All animals receive a medical evaluation; fully vaccinated; and, if old enough and at least 3 lbs. are spayed and neutered before adoption. Any health problems detected are taken care of immediately. Because we want to ensure that all of the animals in our care go to good homes, we ask to meet with each prospective adoptive candidate. This allows us to thoughtfully decide if the animal is a proper match for you. We reserve the right to turn down applicants for pets if we feel that it is not in the animal’s best interest.
While we are located in the Roy,Layton,Ogden, UT area, we also partner with local and regional groups and accept transfer rescues from throughout northern Utah and the surrounding states. ANBAR does not turn away any companion animal but welcomes them regardless of their condition and do not place a time limit on their stay with us. We believe that euthanasia should be used only as a humane last resort, to prevent further animal suffering – such as when an animal is terminally ill, critically injured, or dying.
A New Beginning Animal Rescue embraces a multi-prong strategic service approach to contribute to reach our goal of reducing the number of adoptable animals euthanized each year. Our services include:
Adoption opportunities and events for ANBAR companion animals
Spay/neuter of ANBAR animals, to effectively reduce the problems of pet overpopulation
Veterinary care for ANBAR animals
Volunteer foster care program to provide housing for rescued or surrendered companion animals, until a qualified forever home is found
