Story
TWIGGY IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!    Meet Twiggy — a spirited 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Basenji mix with a joyful personality and endless charm. This playful young female thrives in an active home where she can enjoy plenty of exercise, games, and adventures with her people. Smart, affectionate, and full of life, Twiggy loves curling up for cuddles on the sofa just as much as she enjoys playtime. Twiggy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would especially love a family with energetic children who can keep up with her fun-loving spirit. One of her most endearing traits is her elegant, prancing walk — graceful enough to remind you of a show horse in motion. If you’re looking for a loving, lively companion with beauty, brains, and a playful heart, Twiggy may be the perfect addition to your family. She is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Twiggy up north to her new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Twiggy here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net      THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Story
Romeo here… and yep, you’re definitely going to fall in love with me I’m a happy little guy with a big heart and an even bigger love for snuggles. I’m great with dogs, love kids, and I do okay with kitties too — sometimes I just need a gentle reminder that not everyone wants puppy-level excitement My favorite things? Crinkly toys, stuffies, cozy beds, and being close to my people. I’m pee pad trained and working hard on my potty training like the smart boy I am. At bedtime, my favorite spot is snuggled up in bed right next to you for sleeps If you’re looking for a playful little shadow who will make you smile every single day, I think we might just be a perfect match Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Flower is a 1.5-year-old female Jack Russell Terrier mix who weighs around 26 lbs. Flower was at risk of being euthanized before she was taken into rescue. She is a sweet girl who is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. She loves to be around her people and to be outside exploring. Flower gets along okay with other dogs and likes to run and play. She does get a little overwhelmed with too many dogs around that are active. Flower does great when there are just 2-3 dogs out in the yard with her. She walks well on a leash and rides well in the car. Flower seems to know a few basic commands like sit, stay, shake and lay down. Flower is spayed, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped.
