Story
**Fenced Yard Required**Kyon is the dad of 3 of our other rescues - Helios, Hebe and Argos. They were all running in a neighborhood and no one claimed them, so we rescued all of them. Kyon is a very sweet and handsome boy. However, we have learned that he is not a big fan of cats. Kyon is a dominant dog but he is so calm, just a chill dog. He is with an active, crazy male dog in his yard right now who learned quickly his boundaries and they get along great. He has good manners, doesn't jump. He will need a good, secure fence however so he doesn't escape the backyard and go on adventures. Kyon is ready for a new home and a loving family! He has never been in a home however he is such a laid back dog we believe he would have a very easy transition to couch potato.Kyon's date of birth is 5/14/2018 and he weighs about 60 pounds.All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs.

Story
***FENCED IN YARD REQUIRED***Lotte is a fun, sweet girl! She has been in a short term foster home so we know she is great with other dogs and with children. She is the biggest snuggler and love bug EVER! Her foster mom describes her as "so gentle, loving, and sweet." She prefers to be around people and would love to stay by your side. Lotte apparently has springs in her legs because she can climb and jump over short fences. Therefore, she needs to go to a home with a six foot privacy fence or some kind that she can't climb!Check out this adorable video of her!https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02Wsh58PisyJwcQmRjafixRdv9kdtv3H7cUMYdGjYyMA9TwVrRep4x7UEWApH7LAj3l&id=11400026&mibextid=Nif5ozLotte's date of birth is 1/9/2023 and she weighs about 35 lbs.All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs.

WHISPER IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED!    Whisper- Shhhhh… do you hear that?? Oh it’s just me, Whisper! I’m here again to remind you all that I’m still looking for my forever home. I haven’t had any interest since foster momma first listed me. She says I’m a wallflower but in the best way. Cause I’m quiet and don’t require much. I’d be an excellent companion for your other dog without causing you any trouble!! Wanna know why I’m a wallflower? Cause I was born on the streets and didn’t know humans are my friends. A nice vet called some rescue people to help me. So it took me a little longer than other puppies to know what it felt like to be safe. But here I am!!! I’m beautiful and smart and gentle and quiet as a Whisper! Foster mommy says I’ve made lots and lots of progress! I even like getting petted and snuggled now! I like routine and will need another dog friend to help me feel comfortable. I sleep in my crate all night and never make messes in the house either. Maybe we could meet and I could be your quiet little good girl? You can talk to my foster mommy if you’d like to know more about me. I hope you will.   Whisper is fully vetted including spay, microchip, shots as well as rabies shot. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Whisper up north after she is adopted.     To apply to adopt Whisper, go here:  http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net .    Any Questions, email us at newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com .     THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 6, 2025, 11:48 pm
