Story
          Age: 4 months       Weight: 12 lbs       Adoption donation $750       Bella Grace, her sister Bella Marie and brother Benjamin, are precious Jack Russell mixes who were born in mid February after their mother, Bella, was found as a stray. Poor Bella was discovered in an area in rural Mississippi known for dumping dogs, fortunately Wags took her in, but when shewas brought to the vet to be spayed, it was discovered she was pregnant, likely why she was dumped by her owners.    Bella had her puppies at the rescue and has been a wonderful mama to them! The pups loves to run and play and then snuggle up together in a puppy pile to nap. They are doing well house training, but like any puppies they will need to refresher course as they adjust to a new home.    Bella is about 15 pounds, we expect Bella Grace, Bella Marie, and Benjamin to be all under 20 pounds full grown.    The Puppies recently arrived from Mississippi to their new foster homes in the northeast on Saturday, June 7. They will make wonderful family dogs.   Adoption donations are the only source of funding for the rescue. Adoption fee includes the transport from Mississippi, vaccines, microchip and spay and neuter. Most of our dogs are in Mississippi and come up by Transport, dogs are listed along the Transport route or in an area where we may have volunteers who can help transport the dogs. We do have some of our dogs in foster homes in the northeast, we always need foster homes!

Story
CALEB IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!   Caleb is sweet, calm, and very smart. He is a 6 month old mixed breed pup that weighs about 20lbs. He is also quick to learn new commands. He already walks well on lead, knows ‘no’, is learning leave it and sit. He is crate trained and will bark to be let out. Caleb plays very well with all other dogs in the foster home of every size. He would enjoy the company of another well temperamented canine friend or be happy focusing all of his attention on his person. Keep in mind, Caleb’s favorite thing is playing chase with his foster siblings. He prefers to play with dogs slightly larger than he is.  He can be rough (puppy energy) with toy sized dogs. Caleb loves kids. And he loves sticks, balls, and Benebones! Once you see this precious pup with the Heart on his head, your heart will melt. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Caleb up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at:  newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Caleb here:  www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!
