Story
Hi! I'm Twix, and I'm a lovable 60 pound 1 year old Dalmatian/Lab mix. My foster family says I'm a playful goofball and a very smart boy. I know lots of commands like sit, down, stay, come, paw, and touch. I'm also house trained. I'm still very much a puppy, so I hope to find a forever family that will help me continue my training. I'm a good leash walker, but I also love running around and playing off leash, so a fenced in yard is definitely on my wish list.My two favorite things in the world are playing and food. I love to play with toys and having play dates with other dogs. I have 3 foster dog siblings right now, so I could be in a home with another dog but I love to be the center of attention too. If you like to snuggle, I'm your guy! I love to snuggle with my humans on the couch. After some morning play time and a walk, I spend the day napping or playing with toys while my foster parents work from home.I can be nervous when meeting new people or going to new places, but treats and positive attention help me get comfortable quickly. Because I'm a big boy and have teenage puppy energy, I would do best in a home without small children. I can't wait to meet my 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
🤎🐾 STETSON 🐾🤎 “Sometimes, all it takes is one person to change everything.” Somewhere in Moultrie, Georgia, two college students stopped at McDonald's. They had no idea that before they got back in their car, they would meet a dog who would change the course of their entire day — and possibly his entire life. They witnessed five dogs attacking Stetson. They tried to intervene, but the dogs wouldn't stop. Eventually they managed to drive the pack away, and when they reached Stetson, they saw the puncture wounds covering his face and neck. They could have called someone. They could have driven away. They didn't. They called their parents, put a frightened, injured dog into their car, and drove 14 hours from Georgia to Connecticut because they couldn't bear the thought of leaving him behind. And that's how Stetson found his way to us. Now, let us tell you about the Stetson we know today. That handsome boy who arrived with a face full of wounds has healed. Physically, he's made a wonderful recovery. And emotionally? He's come an awfully long way in a surprisingly short amount of time. When Stetson first arrived, he had every reason to be wary of the world. What happened to him was terrifying, and it takes time to put that kind of experience behind you. But with care, patience, and a whole lot of love from our staff and volunteers, we've watched this boy find his feet again. And then came the Blessing of the Animals at the Lutheran Church. Now, you might expect a dog with Stetson's history to keep a little distance from the animal kingdom. Understandable, right? Not Stetson. While waiting in line, he made friends with a SHEEP and a CHICKEN! Yes, you read that correctly. A sheep and a chicken. Apparently, Stetson has decided that the world has some pretty interesting new friends in it. He is still a little leery of some dogs, and we respect that. After what he experienced, he deserves thoughtful introductions and the opportunity to decide who he feels comfortable around. But his progress has been remarkable, and we're not going to overlook just how far he's come. We LOVE this dog. And we're certainly not the only ones. The young couple who drove all those hours from Georgia to give him a chance loved him enough to change his entire future. We think about that kindness often. Stetson is living proof that a terrible experience doesn't have to define the rest of a dog's life. He is no longer the injured dog from that Georgia parking lot. He's a handsome, recovering, increasingly confident young man who is discovering that life can be pretty wonderful after all. We believe love heals. Stetson is showing us what that looks like. Now it's time for his next chapter. A home where he can continue to grow in confidence. People who will appreciate him for the wonderful dog he is. A soft place to land, a little patience when he needs it, and plenty of reasons to keep trusting the world. The two students who rescued him gave Stetson his second chance. We got to watch him heal. Now we'd love to see him get the happy ending he's worked so hard for. Because this story was never meant to be about the five dogs who attacked him. It's about the two people who stopped, the people who cared for him, and one very special dog who found his way back to happiness. Stetson has come a long way. And the best part of his story is still ahead. 🤎🐾

Our behavior specialist can help you get to know her better with three training sessions! Email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information!*Before you can adopt, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/36924/generic. If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold any pets. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.October 31, 2026, 2:01 am

Story
Woof (Hi) I'm Sandy and I will follow you everywhere. It's hard to get a good picture of me because I'm always at your feet with every step. I'm a bit shy to start, but once I trust you, I won't leave your side. I am very athletic, super smart and problem solve. You may need to get up early to keep ahead of me! I learn commands really fast and would make an excellent household service dog! I currently know how to come, sit, down, high five, touch (nose to your fist) and (on her own) how to open and close the gate latches ;) lol. I am also crate trained, and will put my "paws up" to be lifted to my second story crate. I am currently living in Puerto Rico, but there are free flights to New Jersey, available every month, and my adoption fee covers the necessary tests and certificate for travel. ***When inquiring about one of our beautiful pups, please be sure to include your phone number and check your spam folder... some of our responses are unfortunately being marked as spam.
