Story
Riley, born in January or February of 2015 is a tricolor, smooth coat, collie/border collie mix with some brindle markings on his legs. He has experienced 2 failed adoptions. He was adopted from us when he was about 6 months old and was returned to us 3 years later when the male member of the adoptive family, who had Alzheimer’s, became abusive toward him. In time he began developing his self-confidence again and began to lose his fear of men. Even though he was still somewhat leery of men he didn’t know, he would actually seek attention from men with whom he was familiar. He got along well with the dogs in his foster home but he behaved aggressively toward any new foster dog that periodically come in. He is not good with cats as he showed aggression toward the clinic cat at our vet’s office. Riley was adopted a second time, but after a year of trying different techniques to manage Riley’s difficult behaviors his second adopter felt that she could no longer handle him and once again Riley was returned to us. He left us weighing 55 pounds and returned, markedly overweight, at 78 pounds. He is now back to a healthy weight. Riley has had extensive training. He is quite smart and learns quickly. He rides well in a car and walks well on a leash unless he meets a dog while out on the walk, in which case he will pull and act aggressively. Riley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Riley is located in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $415 which includes the $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Riley, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in

Story
Max loves to play and run and, despite his age (9 years old) still has the stamina of a pup. He loves to swim and fetch in the ocean or lakes. He also loves to find a secluded spot in the house and sleep for hours. He is a watch dog, so he likes to bark. Loud noises and new places make him anxious (so he needs lots of extra TLC on the 4th of July). He gets along well with cats and very small dogs--he does not get along well with bigger dogs though. He is not a great walker since he pulls so a large backyard is ideal for him to run in. He is house trained and is VERY smart--you can still teach this old dog some new tricks. I've had him since he was a puppy and want to find a good home for him with someone who will show him all the love and attention he deserves. He has been a loyal companion but it's time for him to have a new family.

Story
Say hello to Chip!! This adorable, Collie/Lab mix little cutie is just waiting for you to cuddle him up! Chip is friendly, fun, playful, and absolutely lovable. At just 14 weeks old and 8 pounds, he’s at the perfect age to start discovering the world, learning new things, and bonding with his forever family.He’s the kind of puppy who will keep you smiling with his silly antics and puppy curiosity. Whether he’s playing, exploring, or soaking up attention, Chip is happiest when he’s part of the action. Like all puppies, Chip will need a family ready for the fun—and responsibility—of puppyhood, including continued training, socialization, patience, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving little companion to grow up with, Chip might just be your guy! Chip is ready to find his forever family! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high 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. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please note that we can not guarantee the age, expected weight or breed of any animal. What we provide is our best estimates based on our experience and the information provided by the our medical partners. If breed and eventual size are of great importance we suggest looking into a breed specific rescue or adopting a full grown animal. Unless otherwise noted, ALL animals are fostered and available for adoption on Long Island, NY.  Wiley is the perfect age and size. He is housebroken, almost crate trained (throw a treat and he goes in.) He’s quiet once he’s in his crate. He pulls on the leash a bit. He loves other dogs and people. He met a toddler and was wonderful with him. He’s very smart and very sweet. He’s got a lot of young dog energy. He would love a fenced in yard and another pup to play with.

Story
Meet Clark! Clark is an adorable and sweet Blue Heeler that is approximately 5 years old. He has typical dense heeler fur that he loves to have you scratch. He loves attention and can be ok with other dogs but would prefer to be an only dog. He has been exposed to cats and will leave them alone. He is not recommended for homes with small children because he can be protective of his food, treats, and people. He is overall just a sweet, cuddly, friendly, and fun little guy once he warms up to his person / people. It will take time for him to adjust in his new home so his new people need to be patient and loving. If you are looking for an only dog to be your bestest snuggle buddy or have other dogs that are also aloof, please submit an application at forrescue.net He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and any potential adopter must meet him here.

Story
Meet Emma! This sweet well adjusteud girl is ready to meet her forever family. Emma gets along well with other dogs and tolerates cats. She’s shy around new people, especially men, but if left alone, warms up quickly. Once past the introduction phase, she actually loves attention and will snuggle with you on the couch, even trying to sit on your lap! Because she’s an attention diva, she’ll do well as an only dog but doesnt have to be an only dog. So far, her only drawback is she doesn’t do well around young children. Their sudden movements make her nervous. Older kids, 10 and up should be OK. Emma is house and crate trained. She does well left on her own in the house, even for several hours or overnight. She walks well on leash, no pulling or lagging. Her energy level is medium to low. She enjoys laying on the deck watching for squirrels or bunnies. She’s a talker, and barks when excited or if she hears something, making her a good watch dog. Emma is spayed, up to date on vaccines.

Visit www.wtfarmtn.org to submit an adoption application. All dogs are age-appropriately vetted: - Spayed/Neutered (3+ months old) - Vaccinated - DAPPv (6+ weeks old), Bordetella (6+ weeks old), Lepto, Lyme, Rabies (3+ months old) - Microchipped - Dewormed; Other Internal Parasite Prevention/Treatments - Broad-spectrum as well as Tapeworm, Coccidia & Giardia - Flea, Tick; Heartworm Prevention/Treatments and testing Visit Alabama's Facebook photo album for more photos: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1050705513905100&type=3 With the community's help, we saved a group of 4 Heeler Mixes from euthanasia in mid-2025. Meet Alabama, one of the lucky ones! Just a month later, he was already beginning to trust, explore, and engage with the world around him. Since then he has been fully vetted and graduated from training. He is now leash, crate and house trained, and knows basic commands. Alabama does well with other dogs and has been around cats and house/pet pigs with no issues. We would recommend teens+ given that Alabama is still a work in progress. Fenced in yard highly recommended. While this 6 year old is not quite ready to snuggle on the couch just yet, we know that the journey with him will be full of heart, patience, and deep rewards. Alabama is searching for a hero of his own. Someone who understands that healing takes time and love, and who's ready to show Alabama just how good life in a real home can be. Could that be you?
