PENELOPE IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!    Penelope is a 6 month old mixed breed puppy with the sweetest personality and so much love to give. This adorable girl is playful, gentle, and friendly — the perfect mix for a growing puppy. Penelope should be about 45-50 pounds full grown.  Penelope gets along great with other dogs, cats, and children, making her an easy addition to many different kinds of families. She loves spending time playing with her foster siblings, but she’s just as happy curling up for snuggles with her foster parents after a fun day of adventures. Penelope loves to be in her foster dad’s lap when on car rides! One of Penelope’s favorite things is relaxing outside on the patio with her family when the weather is nice. She enjoys being part of the action while still having a calm, loving nature. This smart girl is already crate trained and leash trained. With continued patience and love, she’ll thrive in her forever home.  Penelope is ready to find the family she can love forever — could that be you? She is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA.

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. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations.

I'm looking for a loving family who has time to give me lots of attention and help me grow into the perfect companion. I currently live in a foster home with both dogs and cats. If you are ready for endless cuddles, apply to adopt me today! She be will fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations.

BLUE IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!    Blue is a handsome 14-week-old puppy with a wonderful mix of playful energy and cuddle-loving sweetness. He’s crate trained and is almost housebroken. He hasn’t had a single accident in the past two weeks! Blue loves to play and has plenty of puppy enthusiasm, which sometimes means he enjoys pestering his older foster brothers to join in the fun. When playtime is over, he’s just as happy to curl up for a nap on the couch or snuggle with you in bed. He’s also doing great on a leash and enjoys going for walks and exploring the world by your side. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate puppy who’s off to a great start with his training and ready to become a beloved member of the family, Blue might be the perfect match! He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA.

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.August 17, 2026, 8:34 pm
