Story
ANNA IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!    Anna is a super sweet 1–2-year-old Siberian Husky. She was found as a stray and was then tied up in a yard for a short time before being turned over to the rescue. She accepts training and is very treat motivated. She likes to play with her people and accepts dogs smaller than her. She is initially timid and guarded around dogs bigger than her. However, when given time and the opportunity to get to know them, she is tolerant of them as well. Anna needs a family that is willing to give her time and space and let her be in control of affection and play time. She has not been tested with small children or animals other than dogs. She currently lives in a foster home with three other dogs but has only befriended the smaller male. She would do best as an only dog in a home with adults or older children. She is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Anna up north to her new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Anna here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net      THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 23, 2026, 11:19 pm

MAX IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!   Meet Max — the goodest boy around!  Hey there! I’m Max, a 3 year-old bundle of fun weighing about 40 lbs — just the right size for cuddles and adventures! I’m a happy little guy who loves to run, play, and make doggy friends. If you’ve got another pup at home, I’d be thrilled to have a buddy to play around with! I’m also great with kids — they give the best belly rubs and I soak up every bit of attention. I’m house-trained, walk like a champ on a leash, and I’ve even learned that my crate isn’t so bad (especially when it comes with treats or dinner — yum!). When it’s time to chill, I turn into a total snuggle bug. I love to cuddle with my foster mom on the couch to watch our favorite shows! My foster mom says I melt right into her when she pets me. Life here is awesome, but I know there’s something even better waiting — my forever family! Could it be you? He is fully vetted.
